What is with in-laws? I swear I can't win!

My husband is on the phone with his mother and I can make out the convo, since I hear his end, and she has now asked:

How the new guy at Josh's work was
How the cats are
How work is going for Josh
How selling his car is going
What car Josh would want next
HOW IS OUR NEW MATTRESS...

and then, how is Sarah??

In that order.. I'm so glad I fit right in after the mattress.. When he got to the mattress, I yelled out "THE MATTRESS IS GREAT, I'M FINE THANKS"

Ughhh!

    Be grateful she's not like my mother-in-law. She has this knack of asking the most personal and inappropriate questions. I sit silently at the phone with my jaw hanging and she asks again as if I'm a dolt because I haven't answered her. If I answered her with my first response she'd be burnt to a crisp.

    She's so oblivious she doesn't realize that sometimes I purposely pretend to mis-understand her questions so I can side-step them. Or, I pause so I can find a way to answer what she means rather than what she ACTUALLY ASKED. Her thinking is so messy that she doesn't even realize how poorly she phrases her questions. She makes statements as if they are questions and so I have to dissect the false parts out of them for her so that I can even answer. It makes me so angry that I avoid speaking to her on the phone.

    She also has the most ugly tone of voice you ever heard. :p

    Can you tell how much she annoys me? :D hehehe

    yeah, my poor wife.

    first time my parents ever met her parents was when all of us got together to talk about the wedding.

    my mom says. .. "so what color of dress are you going to wear"

    her mom thought we might have had sex, her dad still believed she was a virgin.
    mean people suck!
    but nice people sw****w

    Whatever possessed her to ask such a ridiculous question? Brides ALWAYS wear white in their first wedding. No matter what. What did your wife say?

    And yet you've placed it in this thread so it's not entirely floating in air is it?

    No wonder you rank low on your mother in-law's list, you act like a jerk by blurting out things while she's on the phone with her son. Give respect to get it.

    Well, only if you think a woman is a bitch if she complains about people who are unpleasant to deal with. Do you think women who find some people annoying are bitches? When men complain about people they find annoying do you have a similar label?

    Wow, you don't know me, stop judging me.. you have a lot of nerve. Don't respond to a thread if you are just going to cut me down. Talk about respect. The post was made in jest..

    Men don't look that deep into insignificant things like if they are better than a mattress.

    You asked "What's with In-laws"....and based on the information you posted, I concluded that you are a bitch. Provide more information if you feel like that is inaccurate.

    Well, perhaps you should. I think most people ARE more significant than a mattress, but if you want to claim your right to be less important who am I to interfere?

    Now I must depart for the airport. My dear spouse needs a ride home. :)

    No need for that kind of name calling. Not funny at all IMO.

    we played it off. we said "she's going to be wearing a burnt orange wedding dress of course" burnt orange is our team colors for the texas longhorns.

    what possesed my mom to say something like that... ... ... ... ... i would say..... she isnt right in the head sometimes. thus my poor wife having to deal with the inlaws. but i gave her plenty of advance warning.

    her family is crazy too, we just happen to live closer to mine.
