E's folks' visit

The good:

• A trip to a park for picnic and hiking.
• Free grub.
• Good talks & practical advice (and an offer of a big loan for whatever, perhaps our car? Or maybe fertility treatments. Though we might still tell them it's for the car.)
  

The bad, the ugly:

• when FIL offered me a stack of parenting books. He doesn't get how bad it is.
  
• when MIL excoriated FIL for "almost running out of gas" on said trip when we had at least 40 miles in the tank.
• Enduring temper and incessant rehashing of board games when FIL lost.
