[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP (Keurig poster, actually): On Sunday, I was putting the baby down, and DH was dealing with our three oldest (2, 4, and 5) who were having fits about having to come inside, and MIL walks up to him and says, "can you reheat this coffee for me in the microwave?" DH said, "just a minute, or you're welcome to do it yourself." As I was coming down the steps, I saw FIL and MIL standing in the kitchen staring at DH and the three kids, sadly holding the coffee mug ...

My father is a little like this, too. Every once in a while, he needs to make a play for attention.[/quote]

OMG these people seem like a nightmare.  Do they not know how to use a microwave??  Also, DH couldn't ask his parents for help??[/quote]

We gave up. They cannot (or will not) help. Not even when given a specific task. So, we try to enjoy their visits, but expect nothing from them. And of course they no how to use a microwave. MIL was just feeling neglected because the children were using up all of DH's attention, and FIL wanted DH to make her feel better.

I've gotten to the point where it's exasperating but mostly funny. I was giggling on the inside when I walked into the kitchen.[/quote]
