about 8 years ago my parents gave my IL's an old 4 wheeler to ride my brother-in-law around on (who is now 8 years old).  this 4 wheeler is now about 26 years old so it is nothing spectacular and dosent even have a battery that works. the whole 8 years they have had it it has been in their garage and hasnt been used more than 5 times. we have 2 acres of land and behind our house is nothing but farm land (doesnt have any animals or anything on it it is just used for hay) so i thought that it would be nice to get back from them so that we could ride our 3 year old around.  not to mention my FIL has told my mother more than once that whenever she wanted it back for her grandchildren that she could have it.  so i asked my MIL if we could have it and she said yes. about a week later my husband was going to get it and my MIL text me and said that her husband decided that they were going to keep it and put in a new battery and teach my brother-in-law how to drive it. in the same text she also told me that her husbands parents (who share the same driveway with them) also had a 4 wheeler at their house that my brother-in-law could use anytime he wants to.  now summer is over and my BIL is back in school and is also playing fall ball so he is NEVER home to even use it.

this happened about 2 weeks ago and i am still so mad that i dont think i can even be around my IL's without blowing up on them. am i over reacting here??

then last week my MIL asked if my DD could spend the night with her friday and I said no because we had something planned for early saturday morning and i didnt want to have to drive the extra 20 mins out of my way in the morning to go and get her. (we told her she could stay saturday or something)  friday evening my MIL text my husband asking when we were bringing her over!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WOMAN??? and i know that she got my text where i told her no because then she text my husband saying "nevermind she said no"  

again... am i over reacting?

    Why don't you just ask her why you can't have it back, or ask her if you can at least borrow it for the fall while BIL is busy with school? She probably has no idea that you are this upset. Also, it sounds like it would help if you stopped texting and just called each other.

    I"m still trying to get past interpreting the beginning, your parents gave your husband's parents an ATV when their baby was a baby to ride him around on? Huh? Ditto pp I don't think little kids/toddlers should be on those things personally but to the point of your issue w/ ILs, I think you're overreacting that you want to blow up over a 4 wheeler & can't talk to the ILs b/c of it. Have your H talk to them or get over it.
