The In-laws are bat-shit crazy…….
Some of you are going to know exactly what I’m saying here. After you’re a couple and you’ve spent a bit more time around your significant other’s immediate family you start to catch on to just how crazy they are. We’ve all been there. Marry into the family and you get a personal invite to the Nut Zone. All those crazy behaviors they manage to keep under wraps in public comes out in full technicolor when it’s just their family – during the holidays, family vacations, when a major decision needs to be made. Any situation where emotions get ramped up.
It’s amazing how irritating, self-centered, judgmental, demanding or just all around crazy your in-laws can be. Difficult, destructive, thin-skinned, or thick-skinned to the point of obliviousness – depends on the situation. You ought to get a medal for putting up with them. The thing about marriage is if you don’t get along with your in-laws you better be prepared to dodge and weave your way out of invites. Unfortunately, that doesn’t play well either.
To pile on the hassle of it all – your partner tries to make the case that your family is equally crazy.
And that’s the rub. The difference between the in-law’s bat-shit crazy and my family’s bat-shit crazy is I’m used to mine – I’ve been dealing with it all my life. It’s normal………….
