[quote=Anonymous][quote]Well, it sounds like the in-laws reaction of making a joke out of it is quite insensitive. I can see why you are angry at them. But I don't understand why you are angry at DH. If DH lost his job, and my parents asked how he was, I would tell them - I don't lie to my parents, and omitting that sort of information in response to a question seems dishonest. I would not feel right about it.

Not OP (but feel strongly for her), but your parents probably don't have a past history of insulting your DH's career[/quote]

Well, it is true that my parents have no issue with DH's career, but they have many other issues with him.  However, that doesn't change the fact that I feel that it is the right thing for me to be candid with them.  It has nothing to do with DH.  It has to do with my relationship with my own parents.  I would never put the conversation on speaker phone, but DH is an adult.  He cannot control what someone may say about him, and frankly, it doesn't matter.  I don't ask DH to withhold info about me to his parents (who are not crazy about me, and I'm not crazy about them).  I'm an adult.  I don't care what they think, or what they have to say.  I didn't choose them, but they are DH's parents, he can tell them whatever true, factual information he wants.  [/quote]
