[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether it is cooking at a beach house, ordering take-out, or going to a restaurant, both my parents and my ILs pick and peck and hem and haw and make us late for every. Single. Dinner. “Hmmm, well, I don’t knowwwww” about everything, even when I suggest places they’ve liked before, or remind them of places we passed by that they said looked interesting. [b]It’s like they have so few things in their life to “research” [/b]and make a meal of, as it were, which is fine but I have hungry kids to feed! How do you get annoying people like this on task? [/quote] It's 100% this. They don't have much going on in their lives so "researching" whatever they're doing is entertainment to them. My IL's do the same with EVERYTHING. But we set a deadline-we're leaving at 7pm if you want to come with us. It doesn't stop the incessant research/taking about whatever we're doing but they know we're leaving at a particular time whether they're in or out. [/quote]
