I'm feeling very fed up and need to vent. My boyfriend has been living with my dad and I (my dad had 2 heart attacks/was in a coma for a year/kidney failure) for a couple years. I'm currently working full time and going to school full time (Were both 25). Well my possible in laws decided to come visit us without even asking if it was a good time. I'm in my finals week and I'm beyond stressed out to be catering to guests. Despite that I tried to make the best of it. Well to make things so much worst, the first day they came here (last Sunday) my dad went to the hospital for heart failure/coughing up large amounts of blood so my stress level rocketed. I wasn't able to get an extensions for finals. I have both his parents staying with us in our extremely small apartment and his sister and brother in law with 2 kids consistently visiting.

Well my problem now is that I'm first pretty mad that my in laws didn't care much about me being in finals upon their scheduling. When my dad was in the hospital, they basically guilt tripped me to leaving my dad because they don't know there way around and my fiancé was at work. When I came home to study, his sister and brother in law with 2 children and a friend came to my house without even asking if it was okay for their kids to bring friends. I tried to block it all out and study despite their being nonstop screaming, only for the kids friend to break my coffee table that belonged to my mom(broke all the glass). Rather than the sister apologizing to me, she quickly left with the kids and didn't even tell me about it or mention it after that. I found out by walking out and seeing glass missing from my table.

Oh and the sister/husband won't watch their kids at all. I'm basically babysitting which I would not mind, but I'm in finals and extremely sleep deprived from sleeping in the hospital/going back and forth. They also keep torturing my dog, by trying to poke her in the eye despite me asking them to please leave her alone several times in front of their parents.

My dad is thankfully home now, but still very weak. They were supposed to leave today, but once my dad said it's a shame they couldn't stay longer just out of a courtesy, they extended their stay. So right now I'm in the library locking myself here since it's basically a nut house in my home. It's not like they're a light presence too...the mom is taking over my room to watch her dramas or constantly cooking while the dad is taking up the living room. They are also going in and out of the apartment to go smoke outside by slamming the doors. They don't sleep together also so I'm kind of forced to sleep on the floor since the couch is not an option.

Don't get me wrong...they're kind and the moms been trying to buy things for the house for us which I really appreciate, but I just don't understand how they think it's suitable to keep bringing kids and their friends to my house while I'm trying to study and my dad is sick instead of meeting outside. I also can't believe they extended their stay as well when my dad JUST got out of the hospital. I also don't know how to approach my bf as he has helped take care of my dad. I'm just frustrated with the timing and lack of understand for our circumstances. They consistently tell me to go study, but it impossible when one of them is watching K-Dramas on max volume, the other one is watching war movies again at max volume in the living room, or I have children screaming, running and breaking things or torturing my dog because they're parents aren't watching them and expecting me to.

They're finally leaving tomorrow, but I'm slowly starting to question if this is the type of in laws I want. My bf, while he is sweet, can be quite insensitive and now I understand where he gets this from. I'm also pretty angry that my boyfriend did not tell his family this is not the right time to come. He didn't even stop to consider the stress I was going through or how I would not have time to cater to people. Especially ones who wouldn't care enough to at least lower the volume or keep the kids out on my final exam days. I noticed this family really lacks manners and hearing a thank you is impossible. I know this sounds horrible to say, but I feel like they have no class whatsoever and I'm fearing that this may be my family one day if I choose to continue on with my bf.
