I’m sorry to hear about your intestinal distress which will make you spend most of the visit in the bathroom with a quick in-person “goodbye” right before jumping in the car.
…or…
which means they get to “accidentally” drop little comments then titter in apology
When they do this just stare right at them, with a blank expression. Keep the stare for about 10 seconds until it starts to get uncomfortable for everyone, and then just say “hmm” while maintaining eye contact.

I kinda like this one I might try it! Though in this case I was granted a reprieve because they couldn’t stay as long as expected. 😁

There must have been some lower income children about to receive needed healthcare or perhaps a nutritious meal that your wife’s relatives had to prevent from happening.
No, no; notjing like that. There was one about to not be raped, though.

Pull out a little notebook and write some shit in it, put it back in your pocket, look back at them quickly then continue as if nothing happened.

I like this! If they press you on an explanation for what you’re doing you could say “I have a bet going.” Glance down at the pad, perhaps flip a few pages, moving your pen like you’re counting, then say “It looks like I’m winning!” then smile.
If you don’t mine starting a fight you could even go with “I’m playing MAGA bingo. You could really help me out if you say something predictiably shitty about immigrants or perhaps something laughable about ‘small government’”.
Along with a polite, super quick (“did I imagine it?”) smile

Solid advice. Will apply myself.
