I find it a blessing to see my in-laws every week. I lost my father 14 years ago, my FIL has taken that father figure role on since then. I can talk to him about pretty much anything. My MIL is truly a Saint, she is there for anything for any of our kids or her great grand kids. They cook lunch for us on Sunday 90% of the time. My kids and my nieces and nephews are best friends, I'm tight with my BILs and get along with my SILs. I wouldn't have it any other way, I married into a really great family.

What kind of people are they? Eat, visit for no more than an hour then split? Or take their sweet arse time with no sense of time and 4 hours later say "look at the time, I didn't realize it was that time already" only to take another hour before they leave?

I have some inlaws who are the type to be the first people to arrive and the last people to leave. It doesn't matter where they go. They are the type who will plan to go out and have dinner, make a reservation, arrive 20 mins before the reservation, complain because they had to wait to be seated at the time of the reservation.

Then talk and talk while they keep saying "I don't know what I want", Ask the waitress 3 times if she can come back because they haven't decided on what they want, finally order, complain how long its taking despite making reservations at the most busiest times. When the meal arrives, take their sweet arse time eating, when asked if they want desert ask the waitress to give them a second, get something , the bill comes, gets paid for and continue just shooting the shite like they are at home.

And I have to be the a-hole in every step.. "The waitress will be coming back soon. What are yall order?" Before waitress comes back before bringing the bill.. "Here, look at the desert menu so that when she comes back we can tell her what we want". "Look, there are people waiting to be seated" and someone always says "let them wait" to which I always say "yeah because anytime you have to wait you are watching every table to see who is almost finished, complain when you have to wait longer than you want but don't want to go somewhere else".

My family, we have Christmas the Sunday before Christmas. We watch football while the food is almost finished, we eat, talk, joke around. After we finish, continue talking for a good 30 mins, open gifts, and split. No more than 2 hours. We like to be around each other, but me, my mom, brother and sister are the type who has to always be doing something,

Holy shite...today I learned I'm related by marriage to you.... these are my in-laws.

It drives me NUTS. The last lunch out I agreed to go to was...and I'm not exaggerating a 3 HOUR LUNCH at outback....fricking outback for 3 hours. Drink order.... can I get something started... ask the table and everyone says no...well let's look at it... can you give us a minute..order apps...oh I been talking and haven't looked...can you give us a minute...19 questions...about THE OUTBACK MENU....eat at an absolute snails pace... do yall want dessert...NO....wellllll...let's hear what they have..oh give us a minute....then order...waiter tries to bring a check...well... a cup of coffee be nice.

After all that they're gonna sit there and go....well that took awhile service has really gotten slow here...it's absolutely maddening

MIL came over last night and she comes over twice a week to cook dinner for us and help bring the kids to after school activity. My MIL is a blessing. Sorry for your situation.

My in-laws live across the street from me. Love them just as much if not more than my own parents. They look at me as the son they never had.

Sick of this shite. Always somebody over here with their hand out. Told my wife (No pics she's 53) I don't want to see her family all the time.

Tonight, there are 11 of these people over for another family feed. I'm sitting on the couch in my underwear. Maybe they'll get the point.


None of this is true. Nice try though

thats rough. In the early days of GPS lots of quiet streets became racetracks with people taking shortcuts.

Id think some of those concrete retaining wall sections are in order. Id have reflectors on them to reduce the screaming that comes with bad car wrecks. Maybe a light pole can be put there too, also with reflectors.
