[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine get up early and run 5k with a bunch of other people. Weirdos.[/quote]

We have about 40-60 people over at 9am for yoga and then brunch. Everyone leaves by noon, unless they've been invited for Thanksgiving dinner. Then around 3pm a new wave of people come for Thanksgiving. [/quote]

Weird flex. What does this have to do with your in-laws (title of the thread)?[/quote]

Sorry forgot to include that part. FIL watches the yoga. Like, from the window. As if it's a show. [/quote]

First, I think I aspire to be you, yoga poster. Second, my father would 100% watch this from the window and talk about it for the entire weekend. And he'd interject comments about how yoga is great for maintaining your sense of balance or something similar. Somethig that never quite encompasses the entire, or most important reason for the thing you are doing, but this is his way of showing support.

My ILs, on the other hand, would openly make snarky comments and assumptions based on the yoga.[/quote]

We are a family who do a 5K to feed the hungry on Thanksgiving every year- inlaws and us and all the kids (elementary/high school). So the yoga thing in a smaller group sounds cool.

The reaction to the yoga would be a combo of the two reactions in our family. I could see my dad sitting in a window, nebulously commenting repeatedly that it was 'healthy for you', watching as it would be interesting/bizarre to him- especially a group so large- he'd be like 'how did you capture this many loons and release them in one place'. My mother would pull up a chaise lounge right next those of us doing yoga and do funny voices/rename the moves to make us laugh. My 90s grandmother would be actively farting as she did yoga and tried not to laugh. My inlaws would be dutifully doing the moves and trying not to laugh.[/quote]

Well, one thing we can all agree on is that from now on it's "the" yoga and not just plain old yoga.[/quote]
