[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My in laws are just bizarrely quiet. Nothing seems to go on in their heads.
The whole Thanksgiving conversation consists of "Could you pass the X." Which is another thing in and of itself (the annoying family style serving.) And a few comments on what the kids aren't eating.
We tried bringing up the kids' report cards, our upcoming travel, their travel last month, weddings in their family...all go over like lead balloons. Also my father is in the hospital but they didn't feel the need to ask about him. 
Depressing that I married into this family.[/quote]
OMG, this describes my mom’s parents and siblings perfectly. They all just sit like statues at any family gathering.[/quote]

My in-laws are similar. For the first 10 years I carried the conversation. I now adopt the attitude of “act like a son in law” and just go with it. [/quote]

Yes, but in my ILs family, there are different "rules" for sons in law and daughters in law - we must JUMP for the men!  LOL not happening. [/quote]
