- hours of back labor followed by an unmedicated birth
- being trapped on the tarmac for 4 hours seated by the toilets next to a heavy guy in a kilt with bad breath (has actually happened to me)
- and what the PP said about becoming one with the furniture. Perfect description.

. . . the cultural sweet spot where Prairie Home Companion meets The New Republic (my ILs are academics from the midwest -- love them dearly -- they produced a wonderful son and they adore my kids -- what more could I ask?)

Not as fun as anything. Not fun. I'd have more fun in surgery.

They just become one with the furniture for hours/days, mooch off your wifi, eat your food, sit there, say nothing, do nothing, have loud phone conversations, and make contact with no one, or anything but their ipad/iphone/laptop.


I don't agree because my in laws are fine as visitors, but I love this characterization!

Sorry, but i've actually had fillings as a child w/o novocaine. It is not as bad as my ILs. I was going to say a root canal, but that wasn't that bad either. I would say getting another c-section?

Having Mary Poppins in your house, except the magic suitcase isn't that magical and is six times as big, with 10 times the amount of random stuff in it.
