Friday OT - Am I the A-Hole?

[Al_4_State]

Do the in laws also not like to go to Des Moines because its the "big city" and are afraid of the traffic?

My parents live in BFE rural iowa and for DECADES their address was Rural Route 2, xxxxxxx IA. Everything got delivered fine. Now with 911 address it still works but now you can put the address in maps and actually find it.

They loved visiting DSM when we lived there.

They’re late 60’s/early 70’s. Standard era Boomers

It doesn’t help in this case but I can’t recommend enough having your in-laws live 6,000 miles away. The whole not speaking the same language doesn’t hurt either.

Hell no, you're not the A-Hole here. No one really is actually. Your wife will get over being pissed. Especially when she sees it beneficial for her Mom to receive her own packages. Your MIL is not too old to learn how packages can actually reach her residence. She'll be the better for it. And you'll be relived you don't have to deal with this anymore. Send the package to prove your point.

We use the same logic with my sisters. I love them...right where they're at, in Washington and Texas.

I'd love to. How do you do it?

I think their email is [email protected]

@Aiden Wyatt could you confirm or send this thread to Andy?
