Yes, I was thinking of writing all of them. MIL and FIL are very limited in their insight and wisdom, and increasingly so with age. (and I'd have to type it, print it, and mail it for them to be able to read). xH's brothers and their wives are (usually) much more reasonable and sane. I was much closer to them than to MIL and FIL.
Great. Makes a lot of sense. In-laws usually fade away eventually. Sound like you've got some good ones. Don't let them.

It is one of those things they do.
