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"

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 . 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

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!"

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

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......)

don't even start on MIL and towels
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
merry christmas to all.

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 and they are a kind of crocket stuff so they don't dry anything anyway I shall decorate her room with them next year perhaps........
