During football season, every Sunday is football day for my FI. He goes to hang out with the boys at the bar and they watch football. They all do fantasy football. They have to watch all the games blah blah blah. Is it sometimes annoying? Yeah. But for football people, Sunday is a holy day and they just straight up aren't going to let anything interfere with football Sunday. You're gonna have to deal with it. At least it's not DH - then you'd be a football widow like me. Good thing I LOVE having Sundays to myself.
Oh, and it has nothing to do with maturity or immaturity. It has to do with the fact that they are obsessed with football. That doesn't change with age. It will probably get more intense as they get older, in fact.
it's Saturday and Sunday..ack! luckily they haven't gotten into local HS football, ha
they recently moved 30 mins away (w/o traffic) from us (were 5-10 mins), so it's not like we can easily pop up to see them after work, as the traffic is horrible going up there, and we have dogs as well...
Ouch, Saturday too? Thankfully my FI doesn't do College Football. It sucks that they are totally wrapped up in their football addiction and it's affecting family plans. From your post it sounds like there might be other immaturity issues unrelated to the football issue that you are tired of. I guess just try to be patient? I don't have any good advice for this one! Sorry :(
I think that people should be willing to stray from their typical activities around the holidays, so what I'm getting from your post is that they are immature and football parties are the way it is being demonstrated by them. GIve them another time and date suggestion and if they still bail, it is on them. You will have provided them with multiple options for a time tog et together.

So, I actually like sports more than DH, but his BIL/SIL have weekly football parties...drinking and watching whatever big game, even if it isn't "their" team. We just tried to plan a time to do presents w/ them before we go to my parents' for Christmas. I asked to do a WEEK from Sunday, and they replied back that we can't do it. Not a certain time, the entire DAY is off limits because they *might* host the football party that day. Seriously?!
Also, they were very late to my bday dinner and left early to go to another football party, for the local team that they don't even cheer for (where I go to school)!!! They didn't let us know in advance so we could try to have dinner a little earlier.
I'm not sure what advice I want, but I am just so sick of this. They are only a little younger than us, but I feel like I am so sick of them lately and feel like they act 21 (no offense to the 21 year olds, I know some of you are very mature for your age!) rather than late 20-somethings...I'm trying not to rock the boat w/ my in-laws, but I think DH, FIL & MIL are also kinda sick of their immaturity but just are used to it, and I'm worried I won't bite my tongue much longer. (They also acted immature at the wedding, too, but I'm trying to keep this short!)
