How to deal with horrible inlaws?
I just got married few months ago. The inlaws are from hell.
They are 'pick and choose' religious, which means they will implement their beliefs when they decide, usually(it seems) whenever they talk to myself/wife.
My wife is like a softie and a punching bag for her parents/siblings. I have told my wife if she doesn't want to do anything with them, just stick up for yourself and say NO. She gets bombarded with texts and calls stating she is selfish, controlled, dumb and many other names.
On the weekends, we sometimes have a bbq and drink a few beer. Because the inlaws saw in the recylcing bin a few beer cans, we are all alcoholics and that I am influencing her into 'sin'. That drinking beer is causing my wife to not act her old self. They stated if we dont stop having beer on the weekends they demand to see all our financial information, pay stubs and go to AA. We buy one 15 pack of beer and it lasts 4-5 weeks. My wife had a small bruise on her leg and apparently I beat her up according to my inlaws due to drinking, this then spreads like wildfire and the lies grow from there. I have been called all names in the book for doing nothing, just living a married life.
Occasionally there will be a random knock on the door to see if we are drinking on the weekends.
This family believes in government freebies. Trying to get into the 'disabled' category when there is nothing wrong with them.
I have told them they are being intrusive and it is pissing me off, yet it only ends in argument. Any advice? lol
