Dear Queenie,
When my mother-in-law is planning to come to visit us she lets us know she is coming but she doesn’t tell us when she is going to arrive. Then we have to stay home all day waiting for her. This doesn’t bother my wife, but I find it inconvenient and frustrating.
Queenie, is there anything I can do about it?—Son-in-law in waiting
Dear Son-in-law,
The next time your mother-in-law says she is coming to see you, tell her you have errands to run and need to know when to expect her, so she should call you on your cellphone when she is getting close to arrival so you can get home in time to meet her.
