BINGO!

Just tonight I discovered something vital to my future relatioship with my in-laws.

They do not do things because they are malicous or ridiculous. They just don't think. That's it. There is not a connected, complete thought with them and that's where I usually get irritated. But if I can remember that they aren't doing it on purpose or to make me mad, I think that will really help.

Also, how is someone supposed to think about and/or talk about their in-laws without sounding disrespectful. If I say anything at all, then I'm bitchy.
