Hi all,

My husband and I and our 2 kids were invited to dinner to a friends house
for dinner. They have 4 kids of their own, all the kids play somewhat
nicely together. As for the wife she's very nice and we get along well but
her cooking is not very good, sorry I know it's not nice to say that. Now
as for her husband he's a really annoying. He's the type of person that can
have a four hour conversation with himself & you have to sit there and
listen because he won't let you speak and if you dare to speak according to
him your wrong all the time!
My husband and I don't want to go.

Anyway my question is this. How do we politely get out of this dinner
invitation?

Thanks so much,
SPOONS

Just say so sorry, you already have other plans.

Sorry but we are busy... thank you ever so much anyway.

Funny, you describe them as friends, then ask how to get out of it. Here's
my opinion:

If the cooking is part of the issue, turn the invite around. Tell them
you're busy on the day for which you were invited, but ask them over for
another night. If they really are friend, ,maybe taking her cooking out of
the equation makes it better. Play a board game or something, making the
conversation with her husband unnecessary. Plan an activity with all of the
kids, again, making it unnecessary to engage in an isolated conversation
with her husband. Of course, if you just don't enjoy their company, maybe
they aren't friends. If that's the case, just phase them out, and you'll be
much happier.

Oh,I don't think it's a bad idea to invit your friend's wife to your
home for dinner.

Graciously accept the invitation to dinner but only if they let you
bring the dessert- then make a delicious, crunchy, sticky, peanut
buttery dessert that will keep the husband's mouth occupied after
dinner.
When the dessert is gone, begin yawning and commenting on how you have
a long day ahead tomorrow.

I have a friend with an annoying husband. We never plan things as couples.
Us moms take the kids and do things, so the kids can play.

Thank them for the invite, bow out due to holiday obligations and NEVER
except an invite that includes the annoying husband.

Keep the friendship with your Bud separate from the family.

The Boss has several friends I don't particularly care for.

It's OK.

Hi Spoons,

I've tried really hard over the years to not tell her that her husband is a
boob and I don't like him. He has invited himself along on a few "girls
nights". I finally had to tell her that it isn't fair to my husband if her
husband shows up and she put her foot down with him.

Last year I met another gal that I really like and would like to get to know
her better and her husband makes the first husband look like a Saint. This
one is just don't right rude, obnoxious, overbearing, confrontational and
she's the sweetest thing. I wonder sometimes how people get along. Anyhow
I've not done anything with them. Just stopping by to look at her Halloween
decorations was horrendous. He had gotten home from work when I was there
and he promptly started haranging me for the vehicle I drove, how it was
parked, and why would I stop by for a visit if I wasn't going to stay long.
Then says, "I'm just kidding." I wanted to drive my car over him.

It's a tough decision. You don't want to hurt the wifes
feelings by hurting her husbands feelings. For me, I'd just
be busy with something else and make sure you are because if
she calls and you're home that really could throw a monkey
wrench into the works.

We are friends & I'm a very good friend Just because I don't like her
cooking doesn't make me any less of a friend. Do you like every little
thing that your friends do???

Wow that's a little harsh. One can vent here and still be a friend. I
think that fact that she's not telling her friend to her face "You're a bad
cook!" is statement enough about her friendship.

Lynne

First you go to their house, and explain you're ears are acting up and
them the cotton in your ears. BUT you want to hear their conversation,
and that's why you brought a tape recorder, so you could play it back
when your hearing improves - then when leaving , leave the tape there.
When they call to say they found your tape - just say .... No thanks, I
have enough buzzing still....

I don't think anyone asked for "your" opinion on that
particular problem.

She said she wasn't keen on her friend's cooking, but that doesn't stop her
going and eating. It's the idiot ******* of a mouthy hubby of her friend she
wants to avoid.

Uh! Why not say "thanks for your kind invitation, but we have other
plans?" No further response is necessary.

I'm confused... why did you call them "friends"? It doesn't sound as
if you like them. Are you friendly with the wife through your kids or
is he someone your husband works with?

IMO: It's easy to say "no" when there is no interest in sustaining a
relationship. Since you've put off answering, tell them your husband
has other plans for that day and don't give them an opportunity to
invite you on a different date. You're busy, busy, busy.

In article >,
"Giggles" > wrote:

Have you already said yes? Then, IMO, you can't.

If you haven't, though, you can always say that you are busy. You
are not required to give a reason. If it's during December, you can say
that you are busy, you know the holidays, and leave it at that.
Otherwise, we are busy is a fine response. In the future, though, why
not head it off with a game night, and make it potluck, so you can bring
something, but still visit their home. With games playing, maybe the
husband will be less of a jerk, or at least you will have an excuse not
to converse too much. If you don't like games, a movie night also
works. I suggest this for at their home only because you may hurt her
feelings if you never go to their place and they always come to yours.

Up to here, all's well. Accepting the invitation is obviously right.

> but her cooking is not very good, sorry I know it's not nice to say that....

So what? You don't go to friends for dinner just because the food will
be excellent. You go because they are friends. Here you have the
added (great and unusual) benefit that six kids get along well.

Again, so what? You don't really have to just sit and listen. Go help
in the kitchen, busy yourself eating, go check on the kids. Distract
the conversation to a topic you can all join in on instead of his
monologue. Or start a side conversation with the wife with whom you
talk more easily. It's an adult skill, work on it.

> My husband and I don't want to go.

If you don't go you will sooner or later not be friends with these
people anymore. Your choice.

Let me rephrase this as a way of understanding it correctly. If the
cooking were spectacular, you'd put up with the boor of a husband. If
the husband were a delight to be with, you'd put up with horrible
cooking. The trouble, the way I understand it, is that nothing about
the evening is good enough to make it worthwhile putting up with
everything else. Even the kids only play together somewhat nicely. If
the kids were best friends who truly enjoyed each other and got a lot
out of each others' company, you might consider putting up with both bad
cooking and bad husband.


I'm going to suggest not making an excuse for not accepting the dinner
invitation. If you say that you're busy, your hostess will only invite
you again until you're not busy. It will get harder and harder to get
out of it. Instead, say point blank that you prefer getting together
with her without involving both families. Then stonewall if she asks
why or guesses why. ("I realize your husband wants to come along, but
I'd still like to get together when it's just the two of us." Repeat as
necessary.) Ultimately that's more polite than lying.

I would do the honorable thing: lie. I'd say, "Thank you so much for the
invitation, but we can't make it. December is a really busy month for us.
Why don't I call you sometime after the first of the year and we'll
work on getting together. Is that good for you?"

Then don't call. Unless you see this woman at work or at church or
someplace you frequent regularly, this should take care of it for a while.

You call her a "friend", so I assume you know her well. You might just
have to invite her to lunch one day and say that getting the families
together is such a hassle and that the two of you don't get to visit much
when everyone is together and you would just perfer for the two of you to
sneak off for a "girls time together" lunch or shopping trip.

If she insists on family dinner, at some point, you'll have to be honest.
You might start with, "our husbands didn't 'click' they way you and I
did." Chances are she knows all too well that her husband is impossible.
You are better off losing a "friend" than putting your family through that
ordeal just to be nice.

Elaine, too

Thanks Elaine,

I really enjoyed your advice & I'll put it to good use.
