re: How do y'all marry people and hate their parents?

Guy that runs Texas for spirits has always told me that the holidays were the biggest for sales, because people were sick of their inlaws. The amount of volume on Christmas eve was epic.

I'm not sure the guy you replied to understands just how destructive 6-8 days a year (in person) can be. It's never just the visits with women, it's the texts that go on between visits, the crap the family feeds into the head of the wife, which you deal with later. Repeat after me, women don't understand or even largely *ask* for boundaries with their moms. Boundaries with friends? lulz.
