So, let's all fast forward a few years . . . . go ahead and put your hand up on your head and start scratching again ;) I know all of us on this thread were slackjawed at the thought of LIVING with these bugs and not really doing enough to get rid of them. None of you could believe that...

Quote: Actually, I'm not sure. But they've had flea infestations before, off and on for years really. And this seems to be new *to them* or different to them, so they are saying bedbugs, and that's why we think that. No way to know for sure

Quote: Doesn't hurt my feelings -- they are the in-laws, not my peeps Yes, they have one kid still at home (18) and the other is at college, but comes home to visit. They went to visit her and said they got the bed bugs from the hotel they stayed in.

It actually went ok! Gifts were giftcards so that was cool - and non buggy. And DH had asked for a rough tote from his mom, so we all deposited our cards promptly right in there. His mom gave us each a small gift, mostly movies or CD's and they went right into the tote as well. We actually...

Quote: Yeah, I wanted to copy that video and send it annonymously to SIL! I'd have to label it as some cool action thriller movie, or a special World of Warfare skills video to get them to watch it though

Quote: And on the upside, hey it's Christmas day - there won't be any traffic driving by to see us naked

Quote: Yeah, it would certainly get us in the doghouse if we stay away. And in all likelyhood, they would just come to our house when they leave Gr'ma's - we're only a few miles down the road -- so that would bring the problem to my house which is what we are trying to avoid. So I think...

Quote: They sure don't! Like I said in my first post, I've never been so greatful to not be hosting the Christmas get together

Quote: They are just buying the bombs at the store and doing it themselves, no professionals involved for any part. I also haven't heard of any plans to vacuum or clean their house to get rid of this

Quote: I think that's our plan, or at least mine. It will completly offend them and I'll be seen as that b**** who married in, Yeah, DH was shocked that she was just blabbing about it in the store in front of God and everyone, like she only had chicken pox or something

It's just Gr'Ma, SIL's family (a mom, dad, 21 & 18 yr old kids & their boyfriend & girlfriend) and us gathering for Xmas. We are the only ones freaking out. SIL's family & Gr'Ma think it is no big deal. I've read up on the links above & how to treat it, but I'm telling you all that they are...

If someone told Gr'ma, she probably wouldn't care. She'd just laugh it off and say "Oh it will be fine." None of them realize the scope of what we're dealing with and if DH or I try to explain it we'll be seen as over-excited "mountain out of mole hill" people. I'm suprised that SIL or BIL...

Okie - what might that look like? She did tell DH that the original "bites" or whatever were like little blisters with a red spot (I think he said red) in the center. He did said that BIL didn't look to have anything on him - not sure if that means they sleep seperately or if the critters...

DH ran into his sister shopping today. She had an ugly scabbed up arm and said that they had bedbugs. They were planning on "bombing" the house and if that didn't work, they thought they could get the temp up in the house during warm weather months to take care of it. Their house is trashy -...
