lawns are never easy to dispose of them in..... you inevitably either get a hump or a settling..... now rose beds, that is a different matter.... much more appropriate

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

:rofl:::rofl::rofl: will remember that for the future

The voice of experience? :D I know where to come for advice :sneaky:

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

My MIL is great. My husband's MIL is a negative, vindictive cow but she's 12,000 miles away so do I care? Do I ...... well I do actually but not quite as much as I used to.

I did put the phone down on her recently when she rang to say she had seen the photos of our house and wondered when we would extend the kitchen because it seems to be as small and cramped as it was in the previous pictures :curse:

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

No more photo's for her! Speaking of which, my MIL insists on taking my photo even when I have expressed a deep dislike for it and has taken to doing it when I'm distracted so I can't stop her. Then she sends them to my SIL to show her how much weight I've put on.And the apple didn't fall far from the tree where she's concerned either!!:curse:

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

Guys guys guys, think like Aussies, it's christamas, Barbeque the old bag and serve her to the rellies, you'll save a fortune on steak, do everyone a favour and bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "BITE ME":thumbsup:

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

Not enough meat on her to keep a chipmunk alive :eek:

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

:rofl::rofl: my MIL called us if we would like to come over for Xmas dinner.
But....she also said that if we wouldn't she would go over to family of her for Xmas (with my FIL). So we said, we won't hold you back...please go and have fun :thumbsup: . So we are having a nice Xmas with the 3 of us, just chilling, relaxing, having some nice food and that's it.

PS My MIL is a nice lady, don't worry, a bit headstrong...but so am I ;);)

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

Love this thread!! I don't feel so alone!

Can't just blame my MIL! Both of my parents in law told my hubby he would have to choose between me or them!! He's happily cut out of the will and living on the other side of the world! They didn't even come to say goodbye and of course I dragged him here kicking and screaming!

Can't understand why but the kids do call me the Wicked Witch of West and if I make them tell me they love me they say 'We love you Miss Hanigan!" :thumbsup:

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

:rofl:

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

It was my brother in law who wouldn't come to our leaving do..... so guess what? we left any way.... guess who didn't get a xmas card from him either this year? .... could be becasue he doesn't know where we live though...


as for Barbie ing MIL and serving her to the rels.... I wouldn't like to be held responsible for a mass food poisoning incident....

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

PFFFFF can't just wait until I am
someone's MIL. Who knows what
they'll say about MOI! ;):rofl:

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

I can't understand some countries where men have multiple wifes because that means multiple MIL's:huh:

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

Perish the thought:ohmy:

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

Snap!

My BIL said that the only thing that would make his mother happy would be for my husband to leave me and our kids. He chose to leave with me and our kids. I still feel bad about it, but have to remember that they brought it on themselves. I didn't ask him to choose, they did.

I still feel bad about it though! (But not at Christmas, birthdays, bank holidays, school holidays......)

Ps- I reckon i've got a great mother in law!

happy christmas.

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

My mother-in-law is a big woman. She got run over last week. The driver said he had enough room to get around her,

but he didn't know if he had enough petrol

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

:rofl:

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

don't even start on MIL and towels :eek:
mine is a right bitch, before we moved we banned her from christmas day visits, as she always managed to ruin the day.
she even farts when she walks and doesn't apologise:mad:
merry christmas to all.

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

We have enough towels to keep us going till doomsday, falling out of the ucpboard so you have to hold them in while you close the door........so the Bloke told the MIL he thought a good present for me would be some more towels :blink: and they are a kind of crocket stuff so they don't dry anything anyway :confused: I shall decorate her room with them next year perhaps........
Is she a Queenslander? ;)

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

I also have a great MIL, going for christmas dinner tomorrow.

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

Just had the video on with the MIL, she was pickled and obnoxious and if the kids didnt give the exact right reaction to the presents its all a big bother.

Got the snide comments in the background (she doesnt realise we can still here her), slagging off OZ (especially as its not sunny today) and bemoaning the kids not knowing who she is (they do!).

What a hoot that is, at least with the webcam we can switch it off!

Glad to see we not the only ones who get stick!!

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

Why do we put up with them?

My MIL has told me the following;
1/ you are a plonker!
2/ i have seen better photos than your wedding photos, i would have thrown half of them out
3/ your parents do not have a clue
4/ your cousins are complete twats
5/ i would rather drive an hgv than your mums car
i could go on and on but ....fear of the OH reading this and also feel as if i am being bitchy..........kind of know i am not just trying to get rid of pent up frustration...

[QUOTE=brissydeb;5704353]Why do we put up with them?

I used to then we blew them off for 4 years now they're back and I give as good as I get and I feel great! It soon wipes the smug look off her face:p

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

If my OH was out of the room and I was left with my MIL I would try and make polite conversation and when he walked back in she would burst into tears and tell him I had been picking on her and storm out of the house crying! :confused:

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

What is wrong with some women eh?:ohmy:

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

She just never thought I was good enough for her son! She has also accused me of following her in the car because we happpened to be on the same road!!! :eek: We both lived in the same town and believe me, I've got much better things to do with my time!!

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

She sounds like a right nutcase!

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

That might just be the reason why there are so many evil mother in laws in this world. My theory is that those who have had bad experience with their MILs also turn into horrible MILs when their children get married. Great way for a revenge! :blink::D

Luckily for me and JTL, our mothers both had decent MILs. :)

Mrs JTL

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

:rofl: well, good theory, I'm curious as to anyone else can come up
with some other good theories ;)

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

My OH reckons my MIL's problem is she just can't get along with other women full stop.

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

I strongly suspect that no woman will ever be good enough for my little darling.... I pity any poor girl who takes me on as a MIL... I have potential to be the best worst MIL in the world....

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

:rofl: you're going to use your potential to the fullest are you ;):rofl:

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

depends...

I might like a daughter in law....

on toast;)

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

Well guys how did it go. My MIL behaved brilliantly over xmas and the new year, then.........

SIL called to say she'd ranted at her for 4 hours because we're emigrating.
Neighbour got caught on high street for 40 mins while she ranted at them.
Best friend got a 30 min rant via phone.

Well at least she left us alone;)

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

:ohmy: :ohmy:

can only agree with what you said though :)

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
 

My MIL was brilliant as always.

She did Christmas dinner, Boxing day AND NYE party.

Re: Nightmare MIL thread
