2 years ago, my wife’s parents stayed with us for 2-1/2 weeks in the summer and then 10 days over Christmas. They are both obnoxious and loud.

On New Year’s Day, my FIL asked what my New Years resolution was. I told him that I wouldn’t be spending a month with my in laws in 2017.

This year was a repeat of 2016. They are here right now. We have a small house and it feels like we are staying in the guest bedroom at their house for some reason.

These people would never consider a hotel or rental car. In 2016 my FIL made the comment at Christmas dinner that he had to put gas in my wife’s truck when he used it (like it was his vehicle and we brought it back empty for him). I drove it next and it was pinging like crazy - the cheap bastage put regular in a supercharged Lexus.

They are sleeping in my 8 year old son’s room so we have his Raspberry Pi set up in the living room. Yesterday, one of the micro SD cards went missing and the in laws sat on the couch while we frantically looked for it. My FIL made the comment that my son lost it because he never put it away. I corrected him that normally it would be setup on his desk in his room and that it wasn’t put away because they had taken over his room.

It’s 2 days max with these people.

My SIL and her husband live in Scotland for a reason.

My BIL and his wife who live 20 minutes away from his parents limit visits to once every 2 weeks.

I have lots of stories... maybe a separate thread some day. My family drives my wife (and me crazy) too.
