That's my father-in-law. But I rarely see him. If he isn't trying to save our souls, he's talking about what ails him. One day, I hadn't seen him in around two years, and I got a knock at the door. I opened it and there he was, all he said was " I've had diarrhea for the last two days" and walked on in.
I'm pretty fortunate to be honest with my family and in laws. Spoiler alert I'm basically the cousin eddy of any family function. Sooooooo yeah....
Did you marry into the Castanza family?
Not everyone has the finely tuned expertise your wife does.
hahahahaha ok l asked for that one
The base of that was I told my wife that my daughter should have been taught to pick out fantastic, devoted and loving husbands like she did! I get my stitches out in a couple weeks.
Got same present from mouther-in-law
My in-laws are exceedingly decent people. I’m very lucky in this regard.
However, we left this morning after a nine-day stay. Like every time we leave my MIL gets all weepy as we’re getting ready to leave and I’m packing up the car. It makes me feel so. damn. guilty. My wife is their only child, and my son their only grandchild, and it makes me feel like I am taking away her greasiest joy away from her. I know it’s not directed at me in any way, but, man, it is heavy. We left three hours ago, and I’m sitting here at the airport still feeling it. I enjoy coming to visit, but always have to brace myself for the exit.
My wife, on the other hand, got screwed in the in-law department. Glad she’s not on HT the vent about it!

Autocorrect is my worst enema!
Penny wise pound foolish… “OMG why did you turn the heat up!” While also having bought a bunch of new vehicles in 10 years.
We discussed it a few years back, but they are in their eighties. Moving at that age often goes poorly. Even if they were younger they’d be losing 50 years of what they’ve built at home. Where they live now in CA they can garden all year, and do all the other things they like to do. They are very busy bees despite their age. In Colorado, they’d be shut in all winter, and would quite literally die of boredom and lack of stimulation.
