[QUOTE="wldinnh, post: 45193, member: 3763"] Years ago when I was a easy child (ha-ha!) and door-to-door sales were more common, I remember my mom telling my dad some salesperson would just not leave no matter how many times she told him she wasn't interested in the product. My dad told her to just walk out of the house next time, and the sales person would follow after her, and then she could walk back in and shut the door in his face! Try a version of that: When the pesky in-laws show up un-announced or won't leave, say "Sammy and I need to go out now" and walk outside, hold the door open and hopefully they'll follow you right out too! When they ask when you'll be back and where you're going, be vague. "We're going out and about for awhile." Of course, say it all with a sweet smile on your face so they are confused on if they're being ditched or not!! Drive around for 5 minutes and then go home knowing you successfully ditched them!
