[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is an only. MIL and FIL are bananas. It's really hard on DH that there's no one else in his family to talk things over with, or to help deal with his parents. [b]They both come to him all the time with complaints about the other one[/b], and he has no one to talk to about it but me. There's no one else who can voice an opinion to them about what they do or say, because they only trust family. It stinks.[/quote] He needs to shut that down, and there are ways to do it. I had to do it with my parents once. Basically, he needs to say firmly, "Mom, I will not listen to you complain about Dad" (and vice versa) and change the subject or hang up the phone. But under no circumstances is he obligated to be their marriage counselor.[/quote]
