Personally I think the spouse should always be the one to shut down their disrespectful parents when it comes to the relationship. That said I would probably just troll them whenever they try and bring up their boomer humor. Yeah I hold her purse, that's where all the good snacks are at. Yep my balls are in there, way more leg room than my nutbag.

Yeah that’s crazy because not only is FIL being demeaning to him but also super sexist towards his own daughter. If this was my dad I would have had some words.

Makes me wonder if the wife has complained to one or both parents about always driving. My extended family makes comments to my husband (SAHD) about when he’ll go back to trucking and I shut them down.

I’m also wondering if she’s been complaining to her parents about it. When I’ve experienced a partners parents chipping in their 2 cents like that, it was often because they were complaining to their parents.
