Although my FI has also said that he thinks it's completely unnecessary and roled his eyes at me, lol.

HAHA! MEN!!!
If I really want it I will get it

Often, consequences of bad business decisions are not considered here......hopefully they'll notice the negative impact and adjust, but I wouldn't hold my breath.......
