My parents and my DH hate each other

[LlamaPjama]

Maybe this should be in WWYD but my parents and my DH have a mutual hatred of each other. I know that they are all grown ups, but they always moan about each other. My DH also gets the arseache if I am asked to do even the slightest thing for my parents. (Even just, I'm at a supermarket and they ask me to grab them some milk) He will go on and on about it.

They both say that its because the other asks too much of me. I have stopped talking about little niggles to both parties. Please help!

Tell them both to stop moaning to you. You don't want to hear it anymore.

I feel your pain. Who’s in the wrong or is the case that it’s six of one, half a dozen of the other? That’ll probably affect my answer.

Yeah, it is definitely a case of 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. It's just that they don't like each other and they moan about each other to me. I have told them not to.

As soon as any of them start to moan about the other, walk away.
'I don't want to hear it' and leave!!!
Do your parents live close by then?
Do you have DC with your DH?

Oh I see. In that case, you have to just take a hard line, ‘I don’t want to hear it, and if you carry on, I will be leaving’ and actually mean it. Don’t give them the audience. It’s not fair on you, and it just causes stress.
My mum hates my husband, which is entirely unwarranted and he doesn’t say a word against her, and I’ve had to take the same line. As soon as she starts, I just leave. I think it’s working... a bit. To be honest, we’re debating going LC as it’s stressing me out so much.

As above and make sure they know you mean.

Why should you be upset by their bickering.
