Watch 'Monster-in-law'. Can't remember what channel its on but its a reality program where they send someone in to sort out the bad in-laws. Theres some nasty sods on this...
One program the MIL hated the SIL to be. Turned up with stated objections of stopping the marriage. Walked into house, dropped bags and said to him - 'Take them upstairs loser!!'. Nice one.
I watch this to cheer myself up that although mildly annoying, my MIL aint that bad !!!!!

But the point is whereas I can put up with her occasionally, it gets a bit much all the time...Originally posted by psychocandy View PostTell me about it. At least then I can come home and not see her sitting on the sofa with beer in one hand and tv remote (never to be released while shes there!) in the other.....
And Mrs used to let her have our bed when she visited and we had the spare one until I kicked off about that one !!!!!

Works both ways though when you have a couple of kids who can be packed off to stay with their granny for a week or two, to give you some peace and quiet

Perhaps the holiday is just there to make work seem more appealing

Waste of money. Worst bit is putting up with family.
MIL this year turned up Xmas Eve, went home day after Boxing Day. Stupidly wife invited her up for New Years Eve as well, so shes still here. Showing no signs of going so I think 'come up New Years Eve' seems to have been translated as 'stay the weekend' in her head.
Wouldnt mind if she had no-one else but wife has got 3 brothers/sisters who MIL aint seen at all over Xmas. They just lay low and dont invite her up.
Last year was worse. She turned up week before Xmas, went home almost three weeks later !!!!
Take a laptop into the kitchen and masturbate over a p0rn site.
When MIL comes in to make some tea, she won’t hang around for long
