[quote=Anonymous]OP, I staunchly defend you as I can understand this entire dynamic with my own MIL and FIL and it’s beyond annoying, most especially as the years go on. Married for over 25 years and known my ILs for almost 30. We live nearby and I see them about weekly. I have patiently listened in rapt attention to all of the family stories and could easily map their family tree and provide rich commentary and details on their friends. Most hurtful is I have to hear all about some random friend of a friend who has this amazing involvement in (insert name of similar my own organization/career) + they go into great detail about how smart and capable this person is and what this job entails. They ponder over purchasing products that I have some expertise in, but would never ask for my advice or realize that I could help. They just buy something inferior and then complain. They’re not really sure what I do for a living and never ask. [/quote]
