Today, I hate my distant visiting family so much that after work I take a detour and sit in my car on an adjacent street, contemplating reasons not to go home. FML

Geez I didn't expect that to get up. Cheers for the comments! Just a summary for those playing at home: - Family belong to my husband - Husband has spontaneously developed an inability to say "No" to these people - It's like living with a bunch of escaped institutionalized clowns - They depart in 108 hours - I have reason to question my life choices

Perhaps see if you can get overtime at your job to make more money while avoiding distant family working late. Win win.

I do this a lot too but more because my house is always so full. I like to sit and unwind in my car before having to deal with everyone. Sometimes it's 10mins sometimes it's 2 hours. I need my alone time.

Why do you hate them so much?

Make sure the mattresses for your guest beds are uncomfortable, and they will want to visit but not stay with you. It works.

Sometimes my family makes me feel this way too OP. Hence when I'm away at college I will rarely come back to visit.

I don't go home when I've been arguing with my husband. I'll go to my mom's or go out with my sister. It's better to remove yourself then to be there all grumpy and negative.

Remember op, the bar is always an excellent reason for not going home

True but then he'd have to get a designated driver or company that offers said service to drive him home. It's a bit onerous.
