My father in law is a roofer, he keeps telling us that we will need a new roof in the next couple of years. Him and his friend are outside doing roofing and siding estimates for our house. We are trying to refrain from doing any big remodeling until I'm finished with school and I am a nurse.
We don't even know how long we will stay in this house, we know we will do the roof, but the siding is just a luxury right now. We were also planning on redoing the floor in our kitchen and putting Ikea cabinets in Because ours our horrible and almost non functioning.
Add this stress to my accident yesterday, and the fact that I failed a microbiology exam today and I AM STRESSED to the MAX!! Oh yeah and when BIL moved out, he left dirty sheets on the bed with dirty clothes, so now I'm washing those so that FIL has a place to sleep tonight!

Oh hon, I'm sorry. Can you look at FIL and say "yah, siding would be a great Christmas present, otherwise, it's a need and not a want until after graduation?"
Oh and if BIL is FIL's son, I'd tell him he's welcome to help with the laundry that was left
Seriously? Is that just a thing with them? Little boys should get gifts from grandparents.
I'm not saying its right, but my mom's dad never gave me birthday or Christmas gifts growing up and I turned out fine. Hahaha.
Hah, good point. I'm not saying they necessarily need stuff, but I imagine the kind of people who don't give gifts to their grandchildren aren't the most forthcoming with affection, either.
kwpn, drinking with you for the exact same reason. Though if I drank every time I got annoyed at my IL's, I'd have needed a liver transplant years ago. I've never seen anyone treat someone so poorly as my MIL has treated me.
Holy crap, nothing for those adorable children? Our parents (both sides) can't wait for me to get pregnant as they already talk about all the spoiling they will do. Glad your parents are the proper sort of grandparents
