Oh my.....

So, last night my DH was going on snowmobile with his friends. He wasn't sure how long he was going to be gone and if he had couple of beers, he was going to sleep at the cabin (where they were going) for the night.
My FIL was at my house last night when DH went away so he offers to take DS in the morning, in order for me to go to work (which would have been the plan anyway) He wants to know what time he should come by if he is needed and I tell him around 7:45....but I was totally expecting him to call in the morning to see if he was needed and to tell you the truth, I totally forgot about it.
So Im getting ready for work...da.da..da....shirt on, sweater on, pants are downstairs on the ironing board...go to get them, my FIL is at the bottom of the steps while I am going around half dressed and thongs on:eek::eek: Im partly ticked b/c why didn't he call first? I can't even go around naked in my own house anymore?
The basement door is always unlocked and thats how he got in, I didn't even hear him. Im pretty sure he seen me cause he went back out into the other room until I grabbed a pair of pants to pull on. It wouldn't have been so bad if I had a normal pair of underwear on! Then he ask if he is needed and if he should hang out while he is waiting to see if DH is tired. I couldn't even make eye contact!

Ugh......
 
Unfortunately, it happens. Not that it is any consolation to you right now but we have all had things like that happen. Your FIL is probably just as, if not more, embarrassed than you are. He probably should have announced he was there and maybe he let himself in so that he wouldn't interrupt you while you were getting ready. Even though it is not your fault, if it were me I would say I was sorry and then move on from there. No point in being annoyed with him for long as he was there to help out.
 
There is definitely a pattern of your DH's family not respecting your space. First, it was taking the cars without consulting you. Now it's coming into the house unannounced. I think some boundaries need to be set. But that's easier said (from 'out here') than done.
 
Yeah, what Kathryn said. I'm so protective of my space and privacy, that whole set up would drive me batty.
 
Ha! Well...neither of you would do very good at my house!:p Its a little easier now though cause my SIL moved right next door so they spend ALOT more time over there then they do at my house. When DS was born they were at the house, EVERY night. I think they eat together about 4x's a week!
Maybe seeing my butt made him realize that maybe he should call first?

Lori:)
 
haha! Your to funny! Actually....I was looking at my butt in the mirror from a distance today...and I was thinking "my butt doesn't look like that, does it"? The mirror was on an angle so I looked long and lean, and my butt looked saggy and flat. Looked like an old mans butt, so I had to get closer to the mirror and with every step it started to get a bit better!:rolleyes: PHEW!:p
 
Hi Lori,

I think next time he'll probably call out to you or make very loud noises when he walks in your house.
 
I'd be annoyed that he just walked in without knocking/ringing. But as for the butt, you've seen one, you've seen them all. They look basically the same. Some are big, some are little, some are lumpy, some are smooth, but its all the same. I'm not shy, but I'm not sure I want the relatives seeing my tush, either.

I remember one night, DH had been sick with the belly monkeys and got up in the middle of the night and passed out. I heard the thunk, and got up. Freaked me out and I called 911. The paramedics showed up and got everything all fixed up. Then when they left, I realized I didn't have any pants one. Just the tshirt and undies I had been sleeping in. Oh-well, not like they had never seen a butt or legs before. You've seen one, you've seen them all!

Nan
 
You want to hear something even worse than that. When I was a 18 years old my older cousin walked into the bathroom where I was bucknaked (or shall I say buttnaked) harpooning myself with a tampon. AND, this was before I mastered the sit down method. Picture that! WHAAAAH!! :eek:

In any case I totally hear ya! And as others said hopefully he's learned his lesson!!
