Sound Advice, the trouble with this house is they have jumped in feet first instead of me finding it, its at the end of the road and £50K below market value due to the renovation work it needs.. again no problem, but it would have been nice me making that decision first.
You got inlaws like this?? if not can I have them!
Actually I don't have in-laws. I rather appreciate that fact. That may come across as disrespectful since they both passed away before me and my husband met, but nonetheless, it is one less problem to deal with.
Ok, so it may be too late as far as this house goes, but in the future I'd say try to keep them out of the loop as much as possible, until you absolutely have no choice but to tell them *something*. Telling them they have a grandchild on the child's first birthday probably won't go over well
If the issue is with your wife blabbing, then it may be that the real tricky thing here is not between you and the in-laws, but between you and your wife. Keeping the in-laws out of the loop is a pretty simple and effective solution. Telling your wife not to talk to her parents about the goings-on in her life, that could be much trickier, depending on how good or bad her relationship with her parents is.
