ILs Vent

My ILs are driving me crazy.  I just need to vent.  I work for an investment company and FIL is retiring in August.  MIL emailed me a few weeks ago saying that he wants to roll over his retirement and could I get someone from my company to call him.  Our company offers personalized services over a certain $$ threshhold and he doesn't make it.  I decided to go on our website and order him information for his rollover.  I said that I would try to see if I could find someone to call him but that since we are not a brokerage company, I didn't know how that would work out.  I explained that hopefully after vacation I could get some more information.  I've just now received my 4th request from ILs for this person to call.  UGH!  Yell

I just emailed them back and said that since he is so anxious to talk to someone, maybe he could just call the number on the information that I sent for him.  

That's not the only thing today - but I won't bore you all with more.

Does anyone else have issues with the ILs?

    Aww sorry, that's no fun! Do you normally get along with them and this has just been an annoying issue, or are they difficult to get along with most of the time?

    I love my IL's. I have never had any type of conflict with them except when I yelled that everyone was doing things wrong the day before the wedding when we were setting up. I was just very emotional and I apologized to them a few minutes later and hugged them... haha call it a little pre-wedding stress.

    My FILs drive me a little crazy sometimes, but that's because FI lives with them and will for a few more months (he's moving out 4 months before we get married).  They sometimes treat him like he's still a teenager, for instance when his mom made a budget for him.  It's gotten better since we've been engaged, and I anticipate once he moves out it will stop.  I just try to remind him that he's 24, and can make his own decisions, and that disagreeing with his parents on some things is ok.

    My in-laws drive me crazy also. They were just up this past weekend. MIL and FIL are old, grumpy and judgemental like no one else I've ever met. They have something negative to say about everything. BIL and SIL have two kids (they were all visiting also) and they were at our apartment. The kids tortured our cats by chasing them, picking the up carrying them around, putting them down, over and over again. BIL and SIL would say "leave the cat alone" but the kids kept at it and were not once disciplined...in fact they're never disciplined and do as they please.

    I dread spending time with FIL and MIL and/or the kids because it's always frustrating and migraine inducing. I feel your pain LOL

    DH is an only child so that probably makes the situation harder from the perspective of him being the only one they have but I'm sure it is better since I don't have to worry about sibling issues.

    His mom could be worse so I have to remind myself of that.  But she has always done things that bother me.  Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone!
