[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol. Well, they sound like working class Midwesterners- like both my family and ILs. All the way down to the “driving to nearby big city” scenario. This doesn’t sound too bad to me.

Make someone else drive for once- not DH, but one of the others.

Food wise- sure- you can eat out. Eat at places like Cracker Barrel, Perkins, diners, log-cabin-y looking places. Just look on Yelp. They will have something you can eat. Otherwise pick up something from the store- fried chicken and some sides etc. Everyone likes that.

It is interesting that you are stuck playing “leader” here in seemingly every way- that is weird to me. They must like you! I’d have a talk with DH- he needs to take a bit more control here. I know he can’t drive but he can manage ILs, find restaurants, steer people towards activities etc

Sounds like OP is the one who wanted control. I would never even turn on navigation if everyone in the car knew the area. I have no problem going the longer way to drive by old stomping grounds and points of interest, which is probably something they enjoy.[/quote]
