Avoiding inlaws

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone have advice for avoiding inlaws? We just built a house next door to my wife's parent's beach house. The ocean is great, but her three grown sons and her parents and half thier family live there. I don't like any of them and their phony religiosity is cloying. I'm also much more intelligent ( sorry this is just the truth) and they bore me with thier stupid lives. However, in order to keep the peace in the marriage I can't make it obvious. They walk right into the house when they visit the "family beach house" which is not just in the summer, its year round.

1) Wear sunglasses and headphones whenever possible
2) Find some reseach project and spend as much time online as you can
3) Pretend to be working and spend as much time online as you can

What else can you do? I try to find any excuse to go to do something really important in another room. I have my sister in law coming next week and I am going to be busy, busy, busy. Anything so I don't actually have to tak to her.

1) invent time machine
2) use time machine to go to a period before you built a house next to your wife's parent's beach house
3) don't build a house next to your wife's parent's beach house
