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...

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

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!

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!!! 
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
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!

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
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
