| If you were expecting family to visit, but they showed up a day early, how do you compromise between things you have to get done according to your schedule and spending time with the family since they came to visit you? For my case, my father-in-law is a day early. We had dinner plans with friends and this was supposed to be my last day to clean house and buy a few last Christmas gifts. |

| Have him pitch in and help. Explain you were not expecting him until the next day and that this was to be your day to get last minute things accomplished and the house cleaned. If he doesn't like it he can go sit in a hotel for the day. |

| Invite him along! Also if you still had all of those things to do on that last day, you my dear, are already behind! Don't blame your Father-in-law! You still have time so don't stress! |

| Just be honest with him and let him know that you had already made plans for the day. I'm sure he won't mind if you finish the things you need to do. If you don't want to leave him alone during dinner then take him with you. Then let your husband spend some time with him while you finish up the shopping and cleaning you need to do. Be flexible. Parents aren't around forever. |

| Still do what you were planning on doing. Just explain to your father-in-law that you have dinner plans and a bit more shopping to do. Ask him if he needs anything before you go and if he needs anything while you're out then go do what you need to do. |

| Tell him to excuse you while you have important chores to do. He should be understanding. Even if he is not, why worry so much about him. It's he who show up earlier. |
