yeah, exactly like that, the MIL invited two different adult couples, with 2 kids total. So we would have been 7, that would be 13, plus my family coming on Turkey Day "ONLY", making it 17 on Turkey Day, not bad.
Now outlaws invited there grown adult children who brought 7 more people, now keep in mind they came up on Sunday, for the week, and I suggested a motel, well that went over like a lead balloon. They cried the blues, they traveled 6 hours and can't afford a motel, it wouldn't have been too bad but they all stayed in our house for the week.
This was not in my plans nor was it acceptable in my book, but MIL wasn't very happy and she just lost my FIL last July, and you would think they could have come up for the funeral...nooooo
I'm venting again, I think all of FTE heard this all last week....LOL OK I feel better again....for the moment...

Don't invite them anymore. Seems they are only interested in taking advantage of your hospitality.
I know I know...easy for me to say I know they are your wife's family. But the way I see it, your wife being mad at you for a few weeks is better than having those people at your house for a week..

Your solution is simple....

Plus I didn't get MIL or wife upset with me, they needed no help on my part to un-welcome themselves here ever again...
I am also banking my brownie points for not provoking any confrontations..

Oh trust me the invitation thought will never cross their mind, I didn't do or say anything to provoke a confrontation, but they know I was not very happy with them being here.....

next time they show up...send them all out on an errand and go to a motel yourself...
make sure you lock the house...
or invite them out to dinner and take seperate cars!!
maybe they will get the hint then!
