My in-laws are very busy people. They are going to MD for crabs one weekend and the next to Washington DC for the Cherry Blossoms and the seafood, well until my nephew was born that is! All of the sudden the people that put 40,000 miles a year on a car have decided that they can't drive 2 hours from their house to see their grandchild, so my husband needs to drive them everytime they want to visit. Luckily for all of our sakes, it isn't very often (another topic: their lack of interest in their grandkids). We had to drive 2 cars up for my nephew's birthday party, I wasn't able to go see our brand new nephew when he was born because they had to be driven up and there wasn't enough room.
Just heard from them though...they are going to be driving up to about 10 minutes from my brother in law's place this coming weekend, but won't be coming over because they are too busy. Maybe if our kids were food they would be more motivated to eat them! Funny how they conveniently can't do certain things!

Rebecca, I read your blogs and love them. I am living a life of in-law hell myself and hearing your stories makes me laugh and feel not so alone. My most important question for you is.. how are you not divorced? What is your secret?
ReplyDeleteThis blog really helped me make light of the situations. It is really hard at times and you notice I haven't posted in a while. My sister in law and I call them the crazies now and even have our spouses doing it too. We have a united front now so I don't take it personally anymore. They really are the crazy ones.
