My parents planned to visit us and asked when a good time would be for them to come. I gave them dates and took two days off to spend a long weekend with them, my wife was fine with it. Yesterday I spoke to my parents and they had booked a flight to arrive on the Friday of the week before, thus spend a weekend with us then spend the first part of the week elsewhere and then return to see us for the long weekend. My wife got upset, called my parents to ask to just come for the long wknd. Hell broke loose, she mentioned that they weren't respecting her for setting their own schedule, and my dad spoke back saying the world doesn't revolve around her, that they are coming anyway (other harsh words used criticizing her character). My folks are hurt, not feeling welcome. My wife is hurt as they don't consider her feelings. Both sides are stubborn and don't leave room for understanding each other,each side feeling like they are right. Talking it out clearly won't work. Any suggestions?
