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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

Maybe it's time for you to go and fight with your sister-in-law and her boyfriend? At least you will get some sleep then

I feel like I need to make a chart to fully understand who's fighting with who

How does your sister-in-law have a boyfriend? Shouldn't she be married to your brother? Unless you are calling her your sister-in-law because she's the sister of your sibling's spouse.

Sister-in-law as in her husband's sister.

She's a sister-in-law because she is the OP's husband's sister.

What about the mother-in-law?

It's not always true that kids who come from families that fight also start fights with their future spouses/kids. A lot of people I know who came from those backgrounds deliberately don't fight like that with their partners because they know how much they hated it as kids when their parents fought. That said, it's important in relationships to be able to deal with conflict calmly and productively. If I had a boyfriend who thought the only way to settle a disagreement was with a screaming row, I'd be terrified to ever disagree! And I'd agree that I wouldn't want to be around his family all the time if all they do is fight. It's emotionally exhausting even if you're not directly involved in the fights.
