Are you serious?

Quote From: dixiegurl5

I am so frustrated with my mother in law. God love her (she helps watch my boys whenever i need her) but she has an addiction to yard sales and whatnot. Every weekend she is out bright and early to get the bargains. The problem? The woman has so much stuff that every room in her house is filled to the ceiling. She get something and bring it home and say "i dont know what i am going to do with this,but it was only 25 cents. Now dont get me wrong, i like to go every now and again but she is out there every weekend picking up boxes and boxes of things that she just doesnt need. My poor father in law is just as bad. He goes to the landfill and comes back with more that he took. They take my children with them sometimes and come back with loads of toys that they dont need so i make them keep the toys at grandma's lol. God forbid the day when something happens to them (hey its gonna happen to all of us one day) My husband and i are going to have a chore on our hands, I really shouldnt complain, It is something they enjoy and it makes them happy so i just keep my opinions to myself and let em go at it! :)
your in-laws are loving and involved grand parents & by the grace of God they're still here with you all to enjoy the kids but yet you'll still complain about something that makes them happy as being a "problem".  I just cannot belive how self centered & self serving people are.  I mean your concern for when they leave this earth isn't how much you'll miss them (or even concern for your children) but the "chore on our hands".  And you know I don't think you do keep your opinions to yourself I mean it's here on a message board for all the world to see.  With all that's gone on in the world I can't believe people are this self absorbed & ungrateful.
