Can't sleep.... I'm in quite a pickle with the in laws... they lied to us (as they have many times), but this time I lovingly called them out on the lie instead of just letting it go.... and now they've stopped talking to me and my wife and we've heard through the grapevine they're awaiting an apology from me... i kinda hope they're holding their breath...

made 3 wasp traps and put em out this morning.

Packed up the tarps from yesterday. Wife got stung again after the fumigation attempt.

I still haven't seen one single wasp. Boy goes in and out more than anyone but he hasn't been stung.

Mosquitoes dont touch the wife but they swarm me even at high noon I need bug spray to be outside. Wonder if there's body chemicals like that but for wasps.

How about taking the kids over in the car and their grandparents can come outside, wear masks, socially distance and talk to the kids for a few minutes through a rolled down window? FWIW,that's what we have done to minimize risk, yet still give my mom some visitation.

Oh... and Dear Abby says: This is your wife's problem to deal with, not yours. But, they owe you an apology.

I did that! a couple times... have you ever eaten a hershey bar in front of a fat kid? that's how they looked at me... "not good enough" was the impression I got...

abby might have a different take on this one...

when my wife and I got married and moved in to our new house, just 3 blocks away from them, my mother in law would come over unannounced and try every door knob around the house before knocking... once we opened the door she'd loudly complain that all the doors were locked... I kindly put out the announcement that - being newlyweds - we just wanted a little heads up before anyone dropped by... we didn't hear from them for 6 months...


when my son was born, my mother in law announced she was moving in with us for a month... I kindly declined several times before finally having to say no, you're not moving in, it will not work, you can not do it... that earned me a few more months of radio silence...


I understand the idea that this is my wife's issue to deal with... when I came along they were close to estranged and had I not attempted to make peace between them it would likely still be that way... no good deed, I suppose...

Start referring to the mother in law loudly as Pushy Unwelcome Broad, that should get you a reprieve for at least 6-8 more months.

I wonder if they are not wasps? Just thinking out loud.

Anyway, I sprayed 3 nests this morning.

Pretty sure this apology is what you’re thinking (...but never gonna say...)

I asked if they were horseflies because I've seen a ton of them recently and they're very aggressive.

But she insists theyre wasps.

I dunno. I still haven't seen a wasp or a nest. And nothing in the traps before i left for work

Opel,

You did not cause the problem. In all honesty lying isn't the real problem. The problem is they were willing to take the chance of killing your daughter for their benefit. You were nice about it.

It's time to have a **** off and die conversation with them. Total honesty is called for. In comparison to your wife and children they mean nothing to you. You should lay out absolute rules. Tell them involvement with their grandchildren is entirely up to their choices. Also they need to know you will never apologize for protecting your daughter and calling out one of their constant lies.

Bottom line, you don't need them in your life. I know my words here are harsh. Truth, it never goes out of style. Sometimes you have to stand or you fall.

Just tell them that when society collapses you're going to eat them first to nourish their grandkids. They can't argue with that.

have you threatened to contact the Turkish Embassy?
J/K

one factor that others haven't considered is how much do the kids love them?
That determines how much compromise will be involved...for you and your wife, to keep them in the kids' lives.

Opel, you shouldn't lose anymore sleep over a toxic and horrid set of in-laws, just not worth it. Move along, sounds like the type that NEVER learns that their "reality" isn't others happens to be. Good riddance. You've done more than your part since you admitted that you tried to help with an already "estranged' relationship they had with your wife. Their loss.
