My husband has 2 older sisters, both with kids ages 10, 8, 8, 7 and 5. One sister and her husband and 3 kids live with my in laws. They are my mother in law's LIFE. She is pretty much raising this kids and enabling my sister in law to keep living their and to not actually take care of her kids. Anyway, anytime my husband and I talk to my mother in law is all she does the WHOLE time is talk about the kids. Constantly. It drives me insane because A) I don't have nor do I want kids B) The kids are brats and C) Why would my husband I care when so-n-so went to the bathroom or so-n-so lost their 5th tooth? I don't, that's the point. She never really asks us about our lives, just talks incessantly about the wonderful grandkids. How can I focus her attention on something more adult? The other thing that drives me nuts is how the kids go everywhere with her and how they are allow to interrupt and I swear to God these children have never heard the word "no". My husband has said something to my
MIL about "adult time", but she just poo-poo's it, saying "Ohhh, the kids are fine! They are such a joy!". That's fine if SHE feels that way but WE don't. She cannot understand for one second that we want to have an adult relationship/conversation with HER and not about poop and cheerios and teletubbies. !!!!
