My FIL's have the same TMI problem with their children as Wonderwife's - FFIL has called FSIL *crying* about how crazy FMIL is...and she is, and we all know it, but he's not exactly sane himself. And WTF is a 22-year old going to do about it?! The kid moved to DC because Boston was too close to home. The WORST is when one of them is talking to me about how the other one is crazy...I just shrug and give my "hey, what are ya gonna do?" face and wander away - I refuse to get involved.Also, his parents compete over which one talks to the kids more often, more in-depth, etc...they keep score for everything! So FI talks to his parents every day or else he gets shiit for not calling...when I left for college 10 years ago, my Mom told me to call whenever I wanted but at least once a week...so I talk to my parents on Sunday nights.
