Just a little vent. A "vent-ie", if you will.

  I think you're being a little whiney.  I'm sure they do things to help you guys out.  It's twice a year according to you, and sounds like you personally don't have to do anything...  That's what family does, help each other out.  No biggie.  If this is your biggest annoyance in life, count yourself lucky.

  I am lucky, I know I am. And yes, it's not a big deal - I was just hoping to get some support and inputs from the ladies on here, and I did.

  BTW, telling someone that they are being a little whiney usually isn't helpful or problem-solving oriented, and neither is assuming what my ILs do or don't do to help us out. Just sayin'.
  

  Not trying to be nasty, just hoping to bring you a little perspective.  When it's something that's not even inconvenienceing you, but your husband (and he seems just fine with it).  A lot of people live daily through things that truly inconvenience them or have real tragedies in their lives, this is just a little... well, silly.  But, to each their own, glad you have no real troubles in your life.  Good luck though if something this insignifigant really annoys / angers you as you've said above.  Hopefully nothing comes along that is truly a tragedy or real inconvenience.

  I'm well aware of that. And I feel badly for them, and post on here (and support in real life as well) as often as I can, with support and suggestions and ideas. All I wanted to do in this post was vent - just a little. It wasn't a big deal, I never said it was. All I wanted was the support, which I got.
  

  I actually cope quite well in real life to real issues if they're known and discussed. And if a tragedy occurs, I'll deal.

  I "read" some snarkiness in the last two sentences, but this being the internet, I'm choosing to interpret that comment as sincere and not mean-spirited. I hope I'm right.

  If it bugs you to the point where you have to vent about it, then tell them you don't want to do it anymore.  

  It may sound like you're being selfish to them, but really, it's your life and if you don't want to take care of someone else's animal then you do not have to.  You are not obligated to do this at all.  Say no if it bothers you this much, and you'll enjoy the reduction in stress from your life.
