[quote=Anonymous]I seriously could not stand sitting around for days on end w/ my ILs.  When we've visited them up in Massachusetts where they live, we just sit around the kitchen table.  My MIL directs all of the conversation to her son.  Do you know how f-ing boring it is when there's nothing to do? They don't have cable.  They don't drink.  Hell they don't even drink coffee.  They also don't live close by to any shopping centers or anything.  It's like being stuck on an island.

Thank God they now have wi-fi, b/c the only way I survived the last visit was retiring to the bed early and watching tv shows online.  I was also able to get some online shopping done for Thanksgiving Day sales.

Plus they refuse to turn up the heat.  I have seriously been so cold (when we were dating and sleeping in separate bedrooms) that I actually cried (I was wearing long underwear and my ski parka).   The last time we were up there was when our oldest was about 2.  One of the nights my husband stupidly forgot to put on the fleece sleep sack that I brought.  DD was ice cold when I went into her room the next morning.  I was furious.  I am not letting my kids (now have an infant also) sleep there ever.[/quote]
