To go NC with PIL due to their opinions on renting?

DH and I rent. Although we both have jobs we can't afford to buy a house as the prices are ridiculously expensive in our area. We have 2 DC's at local primary and teen DC at local secondary so we are tied to the area we are currently in.

DH's parents think that renting is for poor people, a waste of money, stupid, embarassing to admit to (they've mentioned that THEY'RE embarrassed to have DC who rent!!!) etc.

Every time we see them they make at least 4 or 5 comments about this, stuff like "you should really have bought a house by now" ad infinitum. And general comments about renting being for the common and low down. DH has mentioned to them before that we would rather they left the topic alone, for the reasons explained above. Their response was that SIL has her own house, why can't we?

AIBU to suggest to DH that we just go NC? It fucks me right off sometimes.

Are you seriously suggesting going NC with his parents over something so trivial?

Is there something you've missed out or was that meant to be a joke?

Perhaps just tell them - we are fed up of you bringing this up every time. If you keep doing it, we will stop coming round.
