[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would it have made a difference if it were your own parents arriving unannounced?

It is interesting that one sees all these gripes about interfering, inconsiderate in-laws and rarely about the parents. I guess all the parents are wonderful non-interfering and considerate people![/quote]

It's not like they stopped by unannounced for lunch.  They drove from out of state, presumably with packed suitcases, planning to stay for a couple of nights. I don't care who it is, that's really horrible!![/quote]

I hear you ............. but my point is that just about all the complaints are about in-laws and there is barely a peep about one's own parents. One would get the impression that the parents of those who complain are paragons of virtue.[/quote]

Is it really that hard to figure out? People grow up with their parents, become habituated to their quirks, and generally don't feel as bothered by them by it's familiar. The same isn't true of in-laws, so of course someone is more likely to be irked by their in-laws' unfamiliar annoying behavior than by their parents' familiar annoying behavior.[/quote]
