The budget is not wide open but lets say up to $2000 for the week.
I have a passport, and I live in the northeast of the US

We actually have plans this weekend that will not happen if they are here, lounging, as they usually do. But, even if we didn’t have plans, I just don’t appreciate the last minute thing, not even letting us know that they were in the area or that they might just “like to see us” (is it that hard to be nice and at least let us THINK you like us??.). In general, there is already a lot of tension between our family and the IL’s on this side of the family (my husband and I are well-educated with advanced degrees, have worked SO hard for all we have, and have done “well”…and there is always this expectation that we will pay for everything when they visit, etc, etc, and that we never need any help ourselves. Neither SIL or BIL work and they live with BIL’s mother with their kids. Their entire existence is like modern day gypsies expecting everyone around them to provide for them).
Being together this weekend is NOT going to contribute well to the stress levels and resentment at this point. We just do better doing our “own thing” (and prefer it, frankly). I am not interested in the “get over it and let them come…”, etc. recommendations.
I really need to know how to let them know they can’t come this weekend, I need a good reason they can’t come (because our planned activity will not be considered “important” enough to justify that they can’t come-they’d expect us to cancel our plans for them). Also, that we wish they would have given us more notice, and that we’re not a hotel/restaurant pit stop when they want to travel. We’d like to be treated with a little more respect in that area overall and want to convey that in our response. We just need some tact in our response, because that is how I was raised.
We need a succint way to convey they can’t come with a good, tactful reason to turn them away. Please help.
