I feel the same way, tho I can talk to my fil and mil. Poor DH is in the military and I got all the fuzzies since he's been gone and now our calls and letters usually start out with something about the chickens. LOL But I think my mil has it worse....her family has never been around anything but dogs or cats and her facebook status is usually something about the chickens..I think they are now wondering what kind of crazy person is taking care of their relative..lol
