And now onto this week's topic: ILs and money. There will probably be a lot of topics that fall under this, because, well, everyone needs money, it is the #1 cause of divorce, and until I win the Lotto, it will always be a problem. Yes, I deserve it, because I will be oh-so-generous and heck, I'm tired.

Yes, this includes paying for weddings or portions thereof. Like the gefilte fish you had to have on your appetizer tray because it was Poppy's favorite, God rest his soul.

Welcome

Here's a safe place to vent about your in-law pain. I'm choosing topics based on horror stories I've heard and experienced, but feel free to suggest more.

We all for the most part love our in-laws. We just don't always *like* them. So remember: no guilt!

Topic #1: Do your in-laws ever call you by the wrong name? Discuss.
