You don't choose these people,they just sorta come with the territory(so to speak).. I do my best to avoid family functions,but these assholes are like a disease that's impossible to get rid of.. I get along with the majority of my in laws,with the exception of a major asshole for a future father in law.. Very uncomfortable around these people.. Quoting: DOCTOR SDon't be there when an asshole is there. |

It seems like most people deal with asshole in laws by using narcotics.. I'm not one to use alcohol or drugs,but I do appreciate the advice.. I almost want to do away with all the holidays,it's become a total charade, they do more harm than good.. |

You tell them exactly what is and is not acceptable if they want to see you. For my IL's there is no discussion of religion or politics and no "advice" given without solicitation. They ahve to behave in a respectful manner just as much as they expect to be respected or it's a no go. |

I had been to some family reunions, deep South so you can imagine. Pretty fucking scary, the people there. Some in-laws are pretty hard to deal with, but you take the valium or pound down a few beers and put up with it. If you start a "feud", it will never end. The bigger, wiser person shuts up and says nothing, no matter how hard he is jabbed. Asshole is a disease and it's contagious. If you talk back to someone who has it, it won't cure them - it just makes it worse. And now you have it. Just be nice to keep the peace. It's what normal, decent people do. Just think, someone posted Chelsea Clinton is getting married. Imagine if you had that mother-in-law . . . Forgive your enemies, it messes with their heads. Thoughts create, mind them well. |
