[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to hear your opinions on this topic to see if I’m crazy or expecting too much or what. My in-laws regularly bring up explicit details or stories. They are not always private about what I would consider the private part of their relationship. In addition, they (mostly my MIL) make explicit jokes and have even once directly referred to my husband’s male body part. I have told them gently and not so gently that this makes me uncomfortable, and I would be grateful if they would refrain from this kind of talk in front of me. They have responded with, “we are who we are, we will not change for you.” They once said that this is how adults talk and to get over it.

At this moment, I am not speaking to them. Thankfully, they live in Florida. Life is blissful when I’m not in touch with them. Should I continue to live my life without them? They will hopefully be grandparents one day, and I’d hate to deny them that experience. But they make my skin crawl! What should I do? [/quote]

Don’t feel obligated to engage. Let your DH deal w/his family. You are lucky they live far away.[/quote]
