    how do you co-op with in-laws stay besides learning tricks here?

    SOmething which gives you hope for better time, do you count the day they leave?

    For me as soon as they come, i have printed small calendar and as days go by i start crossing them off and count how many months left, then how many days left and then how many days left,,,,reducing num of weeks makes me be happy... :)

    so now i have 125 days done with and 68 days to go...yipppieee

    I do the same when I visit them. Gosh those 10 days twice in a year are longer than a decade. I take a lot books with me but it's so boring over there even reading doesn't seem interesting. I get so bored watching daily soaps and discussing them over and over again.That house is like a prison no body visits no body calls. To make things worst neighbours come and give free gyan(lecture) how a dil should behave and spend more time at her in laws. They should be her top priority uhhhhhh. I play a lot of games on my phone. Visiting them again in about 3 months and I have already started counting days.

    I thought I was the only horrible DIL who had a countdown. I have 54 days.

    Its sad that we look forward to this day. In my case, if my in-laws had behaved how they are now behaving I would never have started a countdown.

    First 4 months they just refused to adjust in the smallest way even. Every time they had the same response - we are old and set in our ways.There is no way we will change. Even things as simple as a paneer dish (which is what MIL always has in restaurants in India) would not be touched here. Now that it is almost time for them to go back, they are bending over backwards to be nice! But they don't realize that the damage has been done.

    I am counting days too.. I don't understand my what and why my mil talks sometimes.. Horrible. One bedroom house 4 people, can't even go outside alone... Her highness knows everything..
    I am just going on venting..
