My in-laws can never take no for an answer..If you tell them no about ANYTHING,they have to ask several more times or discuss your answer with you until you're blue in the face.I'm so sick of it!!

WOW: I came back to this question some time later and all you guys can do is point out my typo! I thought it would be obvious that I meant to spell"some".My finger slipped and I didn't realize it until later...EXCUSE ME!!

I think you guys are retarded. He doesn't mean "dumb" people. He knows how to spell. It's a typo, see how the s key is oh-so-close to the d key? He meant "some."
and give him a break and answer his question.
I don't know bro, but don't lose your cool over it. Some people are stubborn and ignorant. It's a crazy world out there.

Dome is supposed to be some! Look at the way the question and the word is written, and that would be obvious. For all of the people calling her dumb, if you had any real intelligence you would have known what it was supposed to be. You should have put some effort into your answer, too. Just remember, everyone makes a typo once in a while... So relax people!
Anyway, to answer your question, people that keep asking you to discuss your "no" answer, and keep asking you about it are just being pushy based on the hopes that you'll give in. If it ever works, you'll only encourage them, but it's likely this tactic has worked for them long since before you came. There's nothing you can do to change them... but you can refuse to discuss your "no" answer any further, and stick to not discussing it after you say that, too. If they still try to get you to talk, you could say something easy like, "Sorry, I'm done talking about it.".
The best tactic I can think of is to avoid contact with these unpleasant people as much as possible. Your husband can talk to them if he wants, but YOU don't have to.
If they're making the same requests over and over again still, let them know what types of requests will not be granted, such as perhaps requests for money. If they ask again later, remind them of what you said last time (no, don't ask again), and tell them that nothing has changed since the last time they asked.

Besides the fact that you misspelled dumb, or do you mean some . . . you should look at how your in-laws view you. Maybe they feel you aren't making good decisions. Also, some people won't take no for an answer because they simply don't want to. Stubborn, maybe. But in order to get anywhere with anyone you need to understand their viewpoint. Why not ask they why they do that. May be an interesting conversation. But honestly, you sound like you've already made up your mind about them and don't like them anyway. HUM, give it some thought. They may have some good ideas and if they are older than you . . . more experience!

That reminds me of a dealship I wnet to last year in May when I went there because I got this stupid thing in mail that said I won either $10,000 or some stupid $20 dinner gift certificate. I knew I probably just got that measly, pointless, waste of time $20 dinner certificate, so I had to be sure, sometimes you just never know. I obviously just got the dumb $20 dinner certificate just like I thought.l
I was just there to claim that dumb dinner certificate from that online dinner certificate company called "Dining Dough", and they just kept hasseling me big time for over an hour asking me literally over a dozen times to buy a car. I had to tell them no over a dozen times.
But to answer your question about your inlaws, I don't know.
All I know is that this damn dealership just woundn't take no for an answer. They even got the freakin' GM of the place to try to have buy a car!

Some people just feel that they shoud egg on the situation and refuse to give up until they get what they want. Unfortunately for you, they will probably never change. I would just try to avoid those situations if at all possible which will be hard since they are your in-laws. Good luck.

I haven't a clue who or what dome people are,but,I would take control back and say NO and then say no more about it.You give them power when you allow them to try to converse with you about it.They sound extremely childish.Also your Spouse should not allow them to continue acting like spoiled brats...

They are probably used to getting their own way. Ask your spouse to stand up to them since they are their parent. If your spouse doesn't, then whenever they ask a question for the second time, calmly say "I've already given you an answer to that question." and walk away.

Tell them the way its going to be and stick by what you say and dont give in. And to really piss them off dont give them a chance for an answer.

Simple they want you to change your mind and hope if they nag you enough it will work. Try not letting them get to you. Just stick to what you said in the first place and eventually they will realize nagging doesn't work and they'll give up...

That's the way some people are. Unfortunately not much you can do about it, say no once, and tell them you're not talking about it again whether they like it or not.
