Like a lot of sixpackers, my in-laws, even when shown clear evidence that they are wrong about something, will just triple down.
Everybody read what you said. Don't gaslight us, goat.I didn't say anything about mine. I am pointing out a behavior. Sounds like that strikes a nerve.
They probably have a cabinet full of Balance of Nature and Superbeets, and a closet full of MyPillows, too.**Awesome people who watch too much cable news and channels that only reinforce their biases and priors. They are absolutely certain about some things because they don't know much outside of their own experiences and they think serious problems all have easy solutions. All have been active in their communities and have been quite charitable.
After the various stories I’ve seen about the giant heaps of “recycling” that are piled up everywhere I started just doing mostly glass and aluminum/metal.I do my best to recycle anything aluminum/metal I can, most of those can be reused over and over pretty easily. Obviously this is far easier if you have curbside recycling. But I don't beat myself up if I miss some here and there.

Also bunching up all of our Kroger/ Walmart bags and taking them back to the store to their recycling boxes.
The wife likes to keep those bags. We have probably 30.000 of them occupying the back corner of the pantry. Now THAT'S irrational.After the various stories I’ve seen about the giant heaps of “recycling” that are piled up everywhere I started just doing mostly glass and aluminum/metal.

my cousin and I call each other and laugh at our dads when one of them does something ridiculous just like our grandfather used to. I’ve now started calling him to tell him when I realize I’m throwing a fit over something trivial like I used to laugh at my father for doing. Apples don’t fall far from the tree.Name a characteristic of your in laws that your wife has always made fun of them for but is now starting to show herself.
Mine is hoarding.
Ha. Sound like pretty typical T shirt wearing SEC fans anywhere from Texas to Florida. I used to know our two deep roster up and down. Now the only two players I can name right now off the Top of my head are Shapen and K. Taylor. I'm sure I could come up with maybe one more if pressed.Diehard alabama (football)
Never stepped foot on the campus
Don’t know there are other Alabama sports
Get so pissed when they lose no one can be around them.
When they do lose, they talk about how proud they are of the team yet can’t name any of the players correctly
Etc
My in-laws are amazing people.
my wife occasionally reads the pack
As many times that we go to Kroger I need to invest in whatever company makes those bags.They'll pry my collection of krogers sacks from my cold dead fingers

That’s my mom. Pray for my wife!This is my MIL. To. A. "T."

Mine had a habit of inserting my name into a sentence while she was talking and telling a story. It was to include me or draw me in, but what she was saying never had anything to do with me and I was not paying attention for a reason...I didn't care about the story.When my mother-in-law was alive she was a total talker. It was like dead air made her uncomfortable, so she felt the need to fill every minute of it when no else was talking. Drove me nuts because I liked my quiet time.
This is a good one. My FIL ate with his mouth open and my wife still does it today. It has caused many a "discussion"I lucked out with my in laws. Great folks and wouldn't trade them for anyone.
My irrational take is eating with my FIL at the dinner table. He breathes and chews so loud it makes me want to stab him with a steak knife.
they were probably attracted to the 40 acres. I doubt it was the mule...When I had them, they would show up on weekends. EVERY 17ing weekend. I finally told my wife, You put up with it. I'm going to do what I want to. And I did. She eventually had enough of their controlling BS. It was not pretty.
My MiL was not an only child, but life centers/revolves around her all the same.My M-I-L was (is) an only child. Therefore, life centers/revolves around her and her alone.
How dare you!My MIL is a drama queen. Right now she's kinda ticked off that my cancer is drawing attention from her and her cancer. She wants to be the center of attention all the time.
