[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say, I always cringe when I hear these suggestions on what to say to in-laws, because if I were to say anything similar to my in-laws, it would cause a giant shit storm. And the more polite, nice, lengthy and explanatory it is, the worse the outcome. Just another perspective, from someone with a very emotionally sensitive mother-in-law. Be thankful you don't have one of those. But in case you do, the only thing that has worked for me is: 1) communicate via DH (who is more well-versed in the nuances of his mom's dysfunctional communication) 2) keep it a super short, simple request without explanation.[/quote] +1 This is my experience, also. Hope your IL's are more reasonable and less self centered, OP. [/quote]
