They are visiting tomorrow for a week and I have to deal with it because I am not working.  I'm quite nervous because I dont want to feel like I'm under a microscope again the whole time they are here.... what should I do?

They are in your house and will just have to deal with who you are. I know you feel like it matters what they think, but if you're already married to the guy then he obviously doesn't care what his parents think. Be yourself, and just try to be nice to them. If they talk down to you, etc, get your husband to talk to them and explain that he doesn't appreciate them disrespecting you in your own home. Stand your ground!

Never let them see you sweat.  I've lived and sworn by this rule for the last 15 years (including the interview to work at my job).  Get enough rest 7+ hours but not more than 9 or you'll look very sleepy tomorrow.  Eat breakfast, but not too many carbohydrates (like pancakes, stick to eggs, bacon, toast and milk).  Be yourself, that's who they are going to be working with.  Tell yourself you are qualified for this job.  You are very deserving of this job. And whatever you do, stop thinking about your financial situation. This will only make you feel desperate tomorrow.  Be confident, you will get this job.

Your best bet is not to stress about it, the baby is in control- the worst that will happen is a c-section- which I understand may not be your first choice, but once the baby is here, you won't care how they got here... \nAnd stressing is not good for either of you right now.

Take deep breaths and relax. Pretend that there is nobody and you are just doing a presentation in your house with nobody home! WORKS ALL THE TIME FOR ME!!

Well I have been sitting at my desk all day and I am ready to fall out right now, so I know how you feel.  When people don't do your job they don't know how to respect it, I get that a lot but these are the good days when I can just sit in the office, next week will be the pits!\n\nEnjoy your job and at the end of the day, ignore the people that will never be able to do what you do and still be productive.

Let everything cool down tonight but tomorrow sit your father down and be honest and tell him you are scared and worried about what happened. If you have a trusted family member ie. aunt, grandmother, mother then I would let them know what is going on. If this happens again then I would talk to a counsler at school to get them involved before things get out of hand.

You go sister! Parents need to get away sometimes. You should had done it earlier though cause the first time I ever left my kids, I cried all night, wondering if they were missing me. You don't want that to ruin your weekend. But do not feel bad. Everyone does it and its healthy for you. My dr even told me one time, to find a sitter and go out. I'm a stay at home mom. He said that he makes his wife do it.

Don't break up, just say you need some breathing room and your feeling mentally claustrophobic, Agree not to see other people because that will send the wrong message, but just maybe for a week, limit calls to once a day, and spend more time doing what you want to do. I guarantee when your mini-break is over, your relationship will feel like new

I completely understand how you feel.  I hate being anywhere but home, it is an uncomfortable, anxious nagging want to escape pressure that you have to control and act like you don't feel.\n\nTell your husband, and his family you have other plans.  I say tell his family so he does not try to explain in a way they will not understand.  Maybe going every other time will make it easier for you to deal with.  Tell them you just need sometime to work on things at home...like your peace of mind, yeah, don't tell them that part. :))

I'm sorry that you're having a rough time. I would try to avoid them as much as you can, so you don't have to hide your feelings often. When you are with them, try to be polite, but I know it's hard. you might want to vent in a diary after you see them or to a really trusted friend. \n\nIf you can, try to get involved with other hobbies and interests, and if you feel up to it, go out more often with other friends. I know from experience that this is hard, but you may meet more great people and really get into your other interests. I really hope things go well for you.

They probably figure you are moving on to bigger and better things and you will lose touch anyway.  I would tell them that I will be coming home for holidays and to visit and make sure that I will stay in touch...plus, today with text messaging, IM, email, blogs, etc. it is a lot easier to stay friends.\n\nHave a party, go out to dinner and invite friends along, plan activities and make it easy for them to join in.  If you are fun to be around, I guarantee they will want to hang out with you.

the easy answer is to not put them up, or not to spend much on them, if you're growing to resent the situation. Or you could think of the situation in terms of a give-and-take: if you visit them, you get a free ride for a few days. Or do you not visit them? If you still feel like it's too one-sided, then lay down the rules before the visit. Tell your future guests that you've been getting lots of guests lately and it's getting expensive, and anything they could do to help would be better than a dinner or gift.

You will need to have a break completly. Do you have parents or are the father's parents willing to take them for a weekend or so?
