Today, I'm staying with my in-laws. My husband is fighting with his dad, who's fighting with his brother-in-law, who's fighting with his wife. The only ones not fighting are my sister-in-law and her boyfriend, who're getting along great on a squeaky mattress in the room next to mine. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was visiting my in-laws and sharing a room with my husband's 17-year-old sister. Later that night she and her brother of 24 years started fist-fighting over an air mattress and I had to pull them off each other. The brother later berated me with, "You can't handle any pressure!" FML
Today, some of my relatives are staying over. My husband was late from work, so I rang him. Apparently, he remembers the family drama and the screaming matches from last time, so he’s checked himself into a hotel until my circus of an extended family are gone. FML
Today, I’m on a highly undesired family vacation with my sisters and their spouses. One sister can’t stop attacking her husband‘s short comings, and the other is having an anxiety attack her wife is woefully unprepared to deal with. Better you than me, Cuñados. FML
Today, my in-laws moved in. FML
Today, I'm staying with my grandma and her older sister while my parents are away. It's been two hours and so far they've popped vicodins, talked about banging Alex Trebek, and had a farting contest. FML
Today, I had to sleep at my in-laws' house. My in-laws' bedroom is directly above the one we’re sleeping in. For the last 20 minutes, all I can hear is the bed going, “Thud, thud, thud.” FML
Today, I'm staying at my boyfriend's house and things were getting heated when he got a call from one of his mates wanting to play Counter Strike. Next thing I know, I'm laying in bed by myself listening to him rage. FML
Today, after I just bought a house that is pretty good and suits all our needs for space, my in-laws moved in because they ran into financial troubles. Guess who is stuck with all the extra expenditures? FML
Today, like every time I visit the in-laws, my father-in-law is driving me crazy. He gets all holier than thou sometimes, and even my mother-in-law agrees he just talks to hear himself speak. It gets so bad that I resort to cleaning their house to ignore him. At least then he leaves me alone. Starting their dishes in 5. FML
Today, my dad and I got into an argument, and he ended up calling me a son of a bitch. My mom heard and started arguing with him over him calling her a bitch. Three hours later, I'm now staying at my gran's house with my mom and hoping her threats of a divorce weren't for real. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Happy days are here again! I feel sorry that most of your in-laws are fighting.

What started this fighting? Is it the silent treatment fighting or if her hausbsnd sees his dad hes going to punch him?

Just an average family...

Time to get out of there OP and maybe get a motel. You shouldn't have to be put in this stressful environment just because it's your husband's family. That's not fair on you.

They're married, so, it isn't unfair. They are one family.

To be fair, she married him, not his family. I'm all for solidarity and a good relationship with the relatives, but there are different situations, in many families it's impossible to get along.

24 - to also be fair she did willingly take the journey to the in-laws with him as well to be put in that environment. ;)

Or propose a three-some... If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

#6, I agree, the OP can get in some "sexy time" and a hole new series of fights can begin.

Just goes to show ya, marriage isn't always the way! Clearly her sister-in-law is happier with her boyfriend!

Just because she slept with him doesn't necessarily mean she'll leave her husband for him. It's sex, not anything serious.

#39 Who says OPs sister in law is married? It is probably OPs husbands sister, and nowhere in the FML does it say she is married.

Or maybe Op's sister in law was fighting her boyfriend. Op just couldn't hear the muffled screams over the squeaky mattress.

I'm really confused. I think I half get it though... So what are they all fighting about? What's the center point?!

I think its probably safe to assume we know what kind of pie the boyfriend ate that night for Thanksgiving.

Pumpkin?

Isn't it wonderful how holidays bring families together?

Family feuds during holiday season are pretty common I guess, good luck though.
