My problem is that we (my husband and I ) do not own an Xbox, so his brother is very kind enough to share. However, my brother in-law is the type of person that once he hits the door, he talks non-stop. He doesn't pick up on any social cues that it may be time to go home...you know the yawn and saying hey I'm sleepy I'm going to bed. I mean we can literally fall asleep on him and he will still talk/ hang around.
Now, let me clarify (cause this is where my man often gets confused) I adore my brother in-law. I think he is a very generous,sweet and kind person. Really, he is a lot of fun. But, I only want to have soo much fun. Lately, he has been coming over to my house at least 3-4 times a week- Sometimes, he even stays over night.
I have tried to explain to the man that I married, that it's awesome that his brother comes over but it doesn't have to be soo often. What my dear man doesn't get is that when a woman gets home from work, there are certain rituals that need to happen for her to completely relax, and sometimes that can't happen when you have company. Especially male company.
Oh guys, I'm sorry I didn't tell you the ritual. Here it is, first we put our keys away and then strip of all binding undergarments (bras), wash faces, use the restroom (with the door open) and put on our frumpy food/paint splattered clothes.
Now a real host or southern lady doesn't really let her girls flop around when there is company. Especially, us girls with breasts larger than a B cup. And, using the bathroom with the door open is still taboo.
Ladies do you understand? Or maybe it's only me.
Not only does his coming over soo often hinder my afternoon comfort,but when they play Xbox they want to play on the flat screen....well that leaves me without a telly to watch. And, that shit will not fly with me.
I am at my wits end and not sure what to do. I have already cussed them both out,but that still hasn't helped.
Help me!!!!!!!! No I should say, save my brother in-law and husband, cause I am about to really flip out on these fools.
**breathing deeply**

I friggin' hate XBOX's!!!
Thank you, I thought I was just being selfish. Grrrrr, it drives me crazy. And, I forgot to mention the headset that goes along with the game. My brother in-law talks to people online,while he plays and I always think he's talking to me. I want to burn the damn thing,problem is they are massed produced.
X-Box is the shizzle.
Tell Bro that he can come over but curfew is 10.
Tell hubby the same thing and give him a list of your programs that you watch.
Then if that doesn't work...when bro comes over...go out for a girls night but don't tell hubby...he'll start getting the hint when you're looking hot and stepping out all the time.
If he'd get off his xbox, he could maybe have fun with his wife.
