My father-in-law and mother-in-law continue to lecture my husband that we need to put the kids in school so I can go to work, and we need to stop having children. Now mind you, they have no reason to give us this unsolicited advice, meaning they do not give us any money, let alone even Christmas gifts. They do not visit. My father-in-law has never even paid child support. My mother-in-law likes to have live-in boyfriends who stole thousands of dollars of my husbands childhood collectibles he had stored in her basement to sell for drugs.
\nSoooo, would it be totally innappropriate next time they give unsolcitited advice to shut them up say:
\nto my father-in-law: “why don’t you marry your live-in girlfriend and stop shacking up like you are twenty already, pay something towards the support of your only child, and then we will consider moral and economic advice from you,”
\nto my mother-in-law: “why don’t you stop sleeping around with drug addicts who steal from us, stop getting your car repoed, and then we will consider moral and economic advice from you,”
\nGranted, I know, you can’t really say the child support thing as my husband is a grown man. But I love the way people comment and scrutinize our lives when their own lives have much more to scrutinize…and we wouldn’t dream of getting into their business as much as they do ours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
