[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because you have to spend a lot of intimate moments with people you didn’t get to choose to spend that time with. You choose your spouse. You choose your friends. On some level, you choose what job you want and the co-workers that go with it. But what you don’t get to choose is your in-laws. They’re basically these random people who after one ceremony become your family. They then spend time in your home during your vacation days. There are so many opportunities for things to go wrong. [/quote] This. I would never in a million years choose to have a conversation or share a meal with MIL/FIL. If I met them on a cruise or something, I would avoid them. They are attention-seeking and gossipy, two qualities I cannot stand in anyone. And it’s not an ageism thing; I can think of two dozen of my parents’ friends and my husbands’ parents’ friends who I would go out to dinner with in a heartbeat.[/quote]
