But who knows...once a baby is in the picture all bets seem to be off and sheer instinct (and fatigue) takes over.

Anyhow, ...My comment got eaten up by the internet. Anyhow, I was saying that it was very interesting that your inlaws are so quiet even without a language barrier. My parents chat with my husband in their broken English. And my inlaws, although do not approve of our marriage, still chatted with me in their own broken English when we visited them in India. Are your inlaws very quiet people even with their own friends and relatives? And with just your husband? It's so very interesting that both your MIL and FIL are quiet people. Have lots of fun in Hawaii! I am so jealous. We always wanted to go to Hawaii for our honeymoon but we haven't reached it yet. Maybe one day.

Haha, it's so bizarre! We all have our flaws, but you and your husband sound like wonderful people, and I'm sure your child will be lovely :)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507531522613335860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808830305872285145.post-85574437015837319722013-09-30T05:03:15.011-07:002013-09-30T05:03:15.011-07:00I think this is all very interesting. Your in-laws...I think this is all very interesting. Your in-laws sound difficult to say the least. I hate awkward silences. Does your husband notice them? Or is he used to the silence? I predict that you both will be a great blend together raising your child. Even if you weren't only children yourselves, you would still have certain qualities and characteristics from the way you were raised, probably both good and bad. Nobody is perfect :) anyway, I hope you are able to enjoy your vacation and that your parents do offer that much needed buffer so the silences aren't so...silent.
