[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everybody seems to agree that the in laws are obnoxious, useless, won't change, clueless, etc etc.  Has anybody (including OP) considered that maybe the in laws don't like the OP and have had negative or difficult interactions with her that are now preventing them from wanting to spend any time with her?  This can also obviously impact the relationship with the grandchildren.  Might want to reflect on that OP.[/quote]

After coming back and reading all of OP’s responses, I was going to post the same thing. She wasn’t willing to entertain any advice given, and had an excuse/clap back for every point made.  I’m not sure I’d be jumping to go spend lengthy amount of time with her either. [/quote]

The title of the post is gives it all away. I thought I was going to read about elderly parents who won't see an audiologist, and I was going to say that "stone deaf" is not an appropriate term, but it turns out her ILs don't come when called and she is outraged. Given that her parents are overseas, maybe she's from a culture in which ILs step in more, but that's not the card she drew, and I can't see how anything she's doing now is going to change that. [/quote]

Maybe she should have married someone from her own culture and stayed near her parents. [/quote]

OP: my parents are from the same culture as ILs, but live on another continent due to their work. [/quote]

So everyone is American but OP's parents live in Dubai as expats making a ton of money, and she gives them a free pass because she just wants to be a little beeyotch about everything with her ILs.  Got it now.[/quote]

You are weird. My parents do not live in the Middle East. [/quote]

Not the PP but you worded it oddly. You said the live in another continent due to work. Not because they are from there so it seems a logical conclusion that they would be here with you, but for work. Is that what you meant?[/quote]

Middle East is not the only work destination for Americans. My parents live and work on another continent. Why is that so hard to understand?[/quote]
