Flippin MIL!!!

Yep wife and MIL have had their fair share of arguments. I can see this one heading this way. Happened like this last summer.

To be fair, MIL is normally OK just mildly irritating. But at times like this she does prove that she really is the most selfish person in the world.

I remember last summer. Wife was really ill, had just had baby. I'd just started a gig 90 mins drive away and they wanted me to do 12 hour shifts. So coming home every night wasnt really possible (although I did so this some nights).

Luckily, MIL at the time offered to stay over a few nights a week to help at first. Then she had one of her moods, decided she was being taken advantage of and decided she wasnt coming after all.

Nealy had to bin the gig. Ended up driving home most nights making it 15-16 hour day. Will probably never forgive MIL for that one and the upset she caused. Mrs could hardly walk up stairs and MIL left her alone like that for 2-3 weeks all day just to prove a point.

Ended up in big argument. Shes ok then for a few months and then slips back into her old ways like now.

Errrr. You were the one that left your missus on her own, not your MIL.

True. But only after MIL had offered to help out in this way. Otherwise I wouldnt have taken the gig.

Ideal world of course I'd have stayed home and not done the gig but its not an ideal world is it? Most of us have to work to pay the mortgage.

And like I said, MIL is very good at spending my money when it suits her.

What weird people you all are, interacting with in laws. Occasionally putting up with one's own relatives should be more than enough punishment for anyone.

Tell me about it. Not saying my own father is faultless mind - he can be extremely hard work. A weekend away with him is enough for me.

Just tell her exactly what you think. The MIL ain't been round since I did.

Tempting I must admit. But got to think of the bigger picture and think of the mrs.

Personally, I think the woman is the most immature, childish, and selfish person I've ever met. Its always all about what she wants and how she thinks her kids should treat her. Basically, they've all got to run around and do exactly what she says.

Wife falls for it most of the time but then does explode from time to time. I do like it when that happens mind.

I don't talk to my folks.
I tolerate my In-Laws. This can all change of course.

You have my sympathies PC, but you are not alone.

How did you take her? Doggy-style? Just for 10 mins?
Maybe that's what put her in a mood?

Would Mitch ?

Of course, all women turn into their mother......

My mum is exactly like that. Wants her children to run around her and basically wants my wife to do all the chores around the house. Its resulted in a fair few bust ups. Its pretty annoying.
