Aibu to not want to be referred to as the 'flat pack family' by my husbands parents??

[Mojavewonderer]

As the subject matter says really.

[JumpingJackSprat]

What does that mean?

[WorraLiberty]

Well the subject matter doesn't say very much to be honest

[lecce]

More info needed. Is it full-on snobbery or do they think they're being funny? Sounds annoying, but need to know more to judge fully.

[GladbagsGold]

Are they the Chippendales then?

[CaptainSweatPants]

Well if everything is flat packed then if the cap fits...

[Pink01]

Are you all ineptly screwed together, wobbly, and have pieces missing?

[MisselthwaiteManor]

Explain?

[Sirzy]

In what context?

[thatstoast]

Are you Swedish?

[KellyHopter]

Step children?
Ikea habit?
No, subject matter doesn't actually say it all.

[Dackyduddles]

My ils refer to other side as The Numpties. Or Clampetts.

Flat pack sounds positively lush in comparison

[Fairylea]

Feed them meatballs and gravy every time they visit :)

[Gobbolinothewitchscat]

What does it mean?

[LadyFlumpalot]

As in you met in Ikea? Or, do you come with badly written instructions and the wrong size Allan Key?

[Ifcatshadthumbs]

Eh?

[AtYourCervix]

Cheap? Common? Swedish?

[ShakeAndVac]

[PelvicFloorClenchReminder]

Do your pre-drilled holes have a habit of being in the wrong places?

[ShadowSummer]

I don't get what "flat pack family" means

[gordyslovesheep]

are you flimsy and difficult to assemble?

[DeathByTray]

Intrigued.

Tell me more.

[MooncupGoddess]

Did your husband's family inherit all their furniture?

[Awomansworth]

Everything you own furniture wise came flat packed?

[dreamingbohemian]

Are you sure they're not saying flap-jack family? Maybe they just think you're yummy

[OldMacEIEIO]

Spend ages screwing till you are sore, then find three bits left over
