[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like some of you are creating problems, where there aren't any. Like you THINK you're supposed to not get along with your in-laws, so you create or magnify a "problem" in your head. Like you think in-law problems are supposed to be something everyone has, so you make a totally needless issue out of nothing. Your in-law says they love you? Adoringly refers to grandkids as "my kids?" Helps you out when you're moving, and is now getting on your nerves?

I know a few people have really, truly, insanely horrific in-laws, but some of these "problems," man... [u][b]they just seem so manufactured [/b][/u]and ridiculous. [/quote]

I completely agree with you.  I also think though, that in the most insane cases (like "My ILs say I love you too much") you hit the nail on the head by saying "manufactured".  Some of these are absolutely positively the work of a bored, pathetic troll who just likes posting silly things and watching people freak out.  Unfortunately it's not always easy to tell the "sincere post but really?  You think that's a problem??" posts from the "My in-Laws are just too perfect!  They do everything nicely and lovingly and well and it's getting on my nerves!" obvious trolls.

At the end of the day, I just ignore the ones that seem silly.  I'm sure I've posted a few things that someone, somewhere thought was silly.  That's cool, that's the cost/benefit of being on an anonymous message board - some people really do ask questioons they're too embarrassed to ask in real life, and that's a good thing that we can ask those questions here..  But I agree, some of these questions are absurd and people just looking for problems.[/quote]
