In-Laws

[Annabel]

I know we have had a 'heated debate' about our in laws on here, and the general consensus is we flipping cant stand em (although there are a few people here who are saints :innocent: and get on with their in laws)

Anyhow I cant stick mine and havent spoken to them since a great big falling out over 2 years ago.

I am a great believer in letting karma do its thing and I always said that although my hubbies bro and sis have it really cushy now, it wont last...

Lo and behold, Hubbies bro, who hates his own mother in law and hasnt spoken to her since he got married, has now got a new lodger...yep, the old crow herself has landed herself upon him, his wife and their two small kids (one of whom is only 6 months old).

I have to tell you this woman is about as sour as it gets, when we first went to meet her I took her a very expensive plant that I had bought in M&S, as I handed it to her she said 'and where do you think I am going to put this then?' as if I had given her a put full of sh*te to display in her manky old hovelhouse.

she upset my mother in law as well by being even more shrewish than she is, she gave her a tongue lashing once that my MIL took great umbrage at, and that was that!

So I am enjoying a large dollop of schadenfreude right now, at the thought of my Bro In Law, who is the most arrogant ignorant lowlife, having to put up with HIS MIL and her sharp tongue, beady eyes and b*tchy spiteful ways under his roof indefinitely :lol:

I bet his sex life will go right down the swanny :devil: :thedevil: :clap2: :lol:

[Sparrow]

:thumbs: serves him right :lol:

[er 59]

Isnt it great when karma works :lol: the thought of living with my in laws is enough to send me running for the hills screaming

[sp54]

Hurrah!!! :lol: :thumbs:

I actually really liked my parents in law - they were a lovely down to earth couple, but sadly no longer with us and I miss them :(

BUT, I ain't no saint, and hubby's 2 brothers and their wives are the most unlikeable foursome you could ever have the bad luck to be related to. :angry: We are not good enough for their stuck up ways, but the eldest has recently been in touch with us after a few years and wants a bit of a get together :badmood: Hubby is nicer than me :lol: and says we should, but I would rather pull out my own teeth :rolleyes: .

Looks like I may have to bite my tongue [ minus my teeth] and do the right thing, but they are horrid and the very thought makes me feel ill :angry:

Annabel, that is justice indeedy :D :thumbs: :lol:

[Annabel]

I cant stop smirking about it, as if you knew how odious my hubbies bro is, how sanctimonious, arrogant and bullying he is, how nasty he has been to my hubby - welll he has his comeuppance now cos that old bag of a MIL he has got is not going to let him have an inch.

It is almost worth making up with him so I can get to witness it... :thedevil:

eeh I am so evil, but I dont care!!!!! :thedevil: :thedevil:

mean people of the world, watch your backs, karma never fails :mexwave:

[coppernob]

I'm lucky in that my OH dosen't come with in laws! Glad karma is on your side, CN

[mazza]

Ooooh lovely!!! Isn't it great when karma works finally??!!! I know I still have a wry smirk when I think about how karma has worked on my NFH :innocent: :whistle: ;)

I wonder why she has descended upon them then???Was she chucked out of her house or something?? Oops, i am being nosey now!!

Yes, definitely make up and invite yerself round to see it in its full glory!! It's gotta be worth it :lol:

[tortoise]

I used to have a problem with Mr T's Mum and her partner, but now we get on fine. They have been brilliant with the wedding planning.

We didn't get on as Mr T was 16 when I got pregnant with LT. I can understand how she must of felt about me!

It's my family who are the problem now!!

[Omega]

I'm also lucky as I got on with my Ex's parents really well; his mum (who passed away 14 months ago) and me used to be like sisters, sounds strange but she was always coming to stay and we'd go shopping; (well it took my mind off my horrible ex husband :lol:)

I also get on with my new hubby's mum (I lost dad-in-law in September last year). In fact she is like another mother to me and I do all her organising, paperwork etc :rolleyes:

So do not know what it is like to have horrible in-laws; apart from the fact I hate my brothers wife, haven't spoken to her for 6 years and my hubby's brother-in-law who is a nasty piece of work and is only nice to people who have money and who can offer him something in return for his friendship - as long as its free :angry:

[Eeyore]

What goes around comes around :lol:

As for in-laws do not get me started, my MIL has hounded us before Christmas about us coming to their house get the presents (which were all sh** as usual!), after many begging, pleading, crying, abusive calls, they came through to ours unannounced, but we were out, so they took up to my mams - she can't stand them either and kept them at the door!

We got a call Christmas Day (never have before) and New Years Eve from 12.18am until 2am the MIL hounded us with calls, we were in bed trying to sleep so I turned the phone off. She never phones at New Year - I hope she's not thinking New Year let's build bridges!!!

She rang New Years Day, we were busy, then rang yesterday, Mr Eeyore picked up the phone and it was the same old cr*p as always, she waffled about her and "the family", going on about all the presents they all got, all exaggerated talk as usual (my 18 year old BIL with no training is a top chef - for that read works in a kitchen, and another BIL is a bar manager - for that read works behind the bar!!!), she even waffled on about the neighbours cat, then it was the usual "how's Eeyore, dogs alright? her mam alright?".

Then Mr Eeyore asked her not to buy me clothes anymore (she buys cr*p I hate and would never wear, this year it was a black camisole and 3/4 length PJ bottoms - gross), course she asks why as she cannot accept anything, Mr Eeyore hedges round and fibs to try and spare her feelings (he doesn't want to say I hate them) and says they don't fit, she grabs the wrong end of the stick and now thinks I'm pregnant!!!! :lol: She's hoping - and I'm not! She nags Mr Eeyore telling him is there something he wants to tell her, and she'll find out, it ends up in blazing row when he tells her to just drop it as she's then insinuation have I left him (cos my name wasn't on the Christmas card Mr Eeyore gave her) - and she will find out the truth - there is nothing to tell - I hate the cr*p you buy me you old bag :angry:

Everytime she phones I feel physically sick

[StoneHenge]

It sends shudders down my spine thinking I might get landed with the in-laws some day. However, as they were both happy to dump their parents in a home, then they should expect the same thing.

Karma is wonderful isn't it?

Mine have been making a real effort of late, but I don't trust them one bit. I have no intentions of forgiving them for taking hubby's ex's side on things and they seem to forget that I don't. Plus they think the sun shines out of their other's son's backside and I can't bare that either.

Still, justice is done annabel. I'd love to see the tension in that house right now!!!!

I dread mine ringing too Eeyore, because all they ever talk about is themselves and how great they are.

[Annabel]

Now Mr Hubby Annabel is enjoying this as much as I am , this morning he says to me, 'Did I tell you that my B**t**dBro's MIL had to have a knee operation and is currently HOUSEBOUND, she needs help to get to the loo and with washing herself' :lol:

She sold her house apparently as she couldnt manage its upkeep - well I could have told her that 4 years ago when we first visited her, the house was a stinky hovel!

We are taking way too much delight in this, arent we smirk smirk :hihi:

I will burn in hell for being such a meanie, but hey, at least it will be warm! :thumbs:

[Crazy Dog]

I should take up Karma. My 'MIL' (in quotes because she's really an outlaw in more ways than one) detests me.

[Eeyores mam]

I had a step MIL from hell.
Having persuaded my darling daughter at the tender age of 6 to get dressed up nicely in a long dress instead of heavy rock gear the b*tch said on seeing her " I don`t like little girls in long dresses" How I kept my hands off her I`ll never know but revenge was sweet. My husband always had to foot the bill when we visited as they would pick somewhere to have a meal and the next time we visited I had in tow an Adam Ant T shirt, jeans and bullet belt with long crimped hair child with attitude and the MIL had booked us in with the county set at a very posh hotel. We fitted in like the proverbial sore thumb among the tweeds and shooting sticks. The meal was cr*p as well

[Annabel]

:lol: :hihi: @Eeyores Mam, I can see where Eeyore gets it from! excellent :thumbs:

It was Xmas and we were all having a most wonderful time at the MILS house (yes I am being sarcastic) my MILs sister was there and said to my daughter, who was about 5 years old very menacingly, 'you had better not misbehave while I am here because I do not stand for it' she had cornered my daughter and one of her cousins in the hallway thinking no one else could hear her, bad luck for her as I was in the loo upstairs and heard her, came downstairs very quietly, tapped her on the shoulder, and said 'who the f*** do you think you are talking to, old woman?' she nearly collapsed from shock, the evil old b*tch. (she never spoke to me after that incident, btw, or looked me in the eye, f*****g old cow)

later on that same day we were treated to one of her grandchildren throwing a mega tantrum, she tried to intervene and the little brat smacked her in the face with her drinking cup and gave her a bl**dy nose.

Karma once again *gives a satisfied sigh, and big smirk* :thumbs:

I hate in-laws!

Says it all :angry:

[Omega]

:lol: @ eeyores mam :thumbs:

I&#39;m a step-mother-in-law too :blush: but I&#39;m nice ;) my step-son-in-law is 6ft 5ins tall & I&#39;m 5ft 5 ins so I don&#39;t argue with him :hihi: he&#39;s lovely&#33;

[tortoise]

After reading Eeyores Mam&#39;s reply, I think Eeyore and I are related somehow&#33;&#33;

I had an Adam Ant T-shirt, which had to be prised off me when my Mother wanted to put me in a white communion dress&#33; Also love Duran Duran too&#33;&#33;

I do feel for you all with your in-laws. As I said mine are fine apart from Step MIL who thankfully we don&#39;t see. She used to make herself puke up when we "upset" her. At their wedding (to Mr T&#39;s Dad) I wasn&#39;t in the family or friends photos :P

She was a b*tch of the highest degree&#33;

Mind you my Mother isn&#39;t much better, so Mr T has a MIL from hell&#33; :(

[Planet 24]

My in-laws have both gone to the hovel on the hill 20 years ago and I fully remember standing at the graveside with Mr. P looking at me and remembering me having said - &#39;it will be the happiest day of my life when they put that old cow in the ground&#39;.


She was abusive to me, her son and both of my boys. Her own family washed their hands of her.

She once locked a teenage Mr. P in his room saying &#39;youre hair is going white - dye it or Im not letting you out - I dont want to be seen with an old man&#39;.
It dented his confidence for life.

She was an absolute ogre who would verbally rape you at any given chance.

When she was dying I held her hand ...her son (Mr. P) went to a football match that says it all really.

Love Muk xxxxxxx

[mazza]

Crumbs, karma really is working its mysterious work on your in-laws Annabel.

I must say that caring for anyone is the most gruelling, difficult and often thankless task (of course it can be highly rewarding too, but it is never the less 24/7 pure graft) so they really are up against it...I wouldn&#39;t wish it on anyone...but in your Bro in law&#39;s case, I&#39;d make an exception ;) .

[Noise Stopper]

And the difference between outlaws and In-laws?






Outlaws are wanted by some one&#33; :hihi:

I have to admit I like my MiL, Italian and feeds me every time I heave into view, pure cupboard love&#33;&#33;

It just needs a shove in the right direction sometimes ;)

[Domestic Goddess]

My in laws are ok. We don&#39;t have much in common and neither of them will live with me when they get old - noooooo way&#33;&#33;
