Apples, Trees, Communication and lack of

I am so frustrated with my DH and his family. I swear to god none of them can communicate effectively. I have a hard enough time with my DH. Throw his family in the mix and someone is going to make me go bonkers!

Ok, my in-laws were going to have Mike today so we could go to a party, however, Mike had surgery last week. Now I swear I said when I talked to them last week that I wasn't going to the party because I wasn't comfortable being that far from Mike for that long. After that it went out of my mind with everything else that is going on.

Well this afternoon they call mad as hornets because Mike never showed up. HELLO! Well they call DH and he is useless for communication. He gets it all screwed up. He doesn't know if we are supposed to drop Mike off or not. He just puts all the blame on me and says he can't be the go between. HUH?

Other times he will tell me so and so left such and such for a message and it is completely off and he leaves out half of it. It is making me absolutely crazy lately.

We also have this thing going on where we are trying to buy a new car through his brother. Now his brother is a dealer and getting the car from an auction. Needless to say we have not gotten a new car in over a month because the 2 of them have lousy communication skills and each blames the other. It is always "well, tom never told me...." "John never said..." Did you FRIGGEN ask!

So I just got a call from DH, "My parents said they would be home in 20 minutes. I am going to get my haircut". OK, so what does that mean? Should I send them a big friggen welcome home gift? Do they want Mike. Do you want me too drop him off. Are you going to drop him when he comes back.

I am so sick of the lot of them and their angry little attitudes when they don't tell anyone anything. GEEZ

I think its a man thing in general, but dh's family is a divil for assuming people already know things.
