You get to choose your friends.  Inlaws……..…you're stuck with whoever comes along with the marriage.

They’re substantially older than I am.  My wife’s parents had a “late” child.  So her father, sisters and bro-in-laws are all about 15-20 years older.  Well, dad is even older than that(obviously).  So...   not to sound grim or anything, but they’ll....not be holding their same positions in time.   So good, bad, idk.  But I learned a few things and we had a great time. Had oysters that I brought up along the way and ate well.    They really enjoy when we come up to hang for a bit when it isn’t a holiday or anything. We also found a property or two that looks enticing.

It’s kinda sad. My wife is the only one in the family that went to college and made something of herself. So they think she is “rich”. Don’t get me wrong, they’re proud of her/us. But I’m also seeing we live in the hectic world and they aren’t and have more land. To each their own. I’ll find that happy medium of being able to afford what’s important and having seclusion.
