Do your in-laws drive you crazy some times?

I love my in-laws. I don’t see them often, I imagine if I saw and talked with them all the time the chances of annoyance could go up. They’re such unique people, I love hearing about their adventures and their points of view. And my MIL cooks the best Thanksgiving dinners ever! As it is now, we’ve never had an unpleasant association.

Yes! I don’t see them often but I’m sort of upset right now as they won’t commit to what they are doing for the holidays. They live 5 hours away and hardly come to visit which bothers not only me but my husband as well. I love them both dearly, but this drives me nuts. It’s not the first time this has happened. You would think they would want to see us since our two sons are their only grandsons.

i see your point! see mine we live with and we take care of her. her health isn’t the best either and she just seems to be pushing some of the wrong buttons today.

Yeah, that’s exactly opposite of my situation. I can’t imagine having to care for my parent in laws, or even my own parents for that matter. Not to say I wouldn’t of course. In your situation I can understand completely.

it is just some days. most of the days are good. but it seems the days i don’t feel so well she is after me the most. tend to get a bit nerving.LOL!

Sometimes? Sometimes??

Well, I do love them, and who knows what they would say about me (it’s been 22 years…or 27….) but their ideas and mine can clash, and the rules are just ridiculous. But somehow, we get together (only on a holiday or birthday) and have a great time.

…Pretty much an endless source of fodder for stand-up comedian routines….

Nice to see that I’m not the only who is in this situation. Makes you wonder why these things happen. But one thing is for sure…I would do almost anything for them.

yeah well when she says that her computer has froze and i go and check it it isn’t all she had to do is move the mouse there is a problem.LOL!! sorry just been one of those crazy days that she just is dumber then a fart with leggs! LOL!

My “in-laws” are cool. I see them more often and enjoy their company much more than my own parents. Maybe some day I’ll actually be allowed to use the kinship term.

thank you all for letting me vent today about this. LOL!! it’s great to listen to all your familys this too. thanks aagin it really helped! :)

My Mother-in-law drives me batty but compared to my Mother, she’s a dream come true.

She’s caring, generous, and very sweet. She’s just a nervous wreck all the time.

rossi bear, I took care of my mother in law for 2 years before she had to go into a nursing home. It was not always fun, so I feel for you! She used to drive the whole family crazy talking about her “poops” – especially when she’d do it in front of my teenagers friends!! They used to be absolutely mortified!

@kar sorry to hear that. i know where you are coming from too. the other day she thought her computer was froze and all she had to do is move the mouse. i think she might be slipping abit.

Well she was pretty old when she moved in with us – 89 – and also had a habit of staring at us at times – her doctor told us it was because she sometimes didn’t know who we were. She would also sit at the front window and watch all the neighbors. She knew more about them than I did! One time she kept telling me there was a dead dog on the lawn across the street, and it was just a trash bag – no matter what I said, she wouldn’t believe me!

@kar… i know what you mean. i think she is in the early stages of altizmers. she forgets to many things and isn’t the old her that she used to be. they do some really weird things that can drive a person nuts themselves.

Well, good luck with her, and just try to hang in there. We could end up like that someday – and I sure don’t want to be left at the mercy of my oldest daughter!!!!!!!!!!!!

good luck with you too. thanks for sharing that with us. i pray that we don’t end up like that someday. but if I do i know my son will take good care of me.
