[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure comfortable is the right word for it? I mean, I go about my business while they visit, I ignore their helpful comments and suggestions, I put my comfy clothes on when I get home from work, sit under my blanket in the couch, drink my beer, etc. so it’s not that I’m uncomfortable around them....it’s that they’ve never taken an interest in me, my family, nothing. They yammer on and on and on for hours about inane stuff, they have antiquated ideas on what a woman should do (which I find super odd since my MIL was a successful attorney and always the family breadwinner), [b]if I try to tell a story or offer something to the conversation they either interrupt with their own story or just don’t respond.

So it’s like having two really irritating strangers in my house who create a ton of extra work for me and criticize our house, our kids, our car, etc. [/quote]

My MIL does this too.  So annoying.  Then inevitably MIL or FIL will ask if I have a brother or sister, what their names are, and what they do.  I've been married 12 years, and my only sister was my MOH in my wedding.  You might think they would have learned this tidbit of info about me by now.[/quote]
