Think I offended the MIL

You know how sometimes you just forget that other people don't hang out on here and think the same things, on occasion?

I am going to get myself in trouble Grin

We are going on a self-catering holiday soon with lots of the in-laws (don't ask, it was not my idea) MIL rang me this week to tell me her latest plan. Apparently, when we get there, all the women are going to go to the supermarket to stock up for the week.

I said Bloody hell, where are we going on holiday, to the 1950's?

Ooops. And I will have no internet while we are there and she will drive me bonkers. If anyone else has some verbal diarrhoea stories to share then please do.

JojoCK, the student accommodation sounds like a great idea for a holiday! Do you mind me asking where it is?

It's a week, somewhere sort of isolated ish, ie near a small village. It could be worse, one of the ILs was campaigning for a remote Scottish island Shock but luckily we found something marginally less dreadful.

It's going to be a long week.

Maybe you could suggest the men iron all the creased clothes the suitcases while you are out? Grin

How long is the trip? I'm sure it'll be okay.

Another antisocial person here- we have booked holiday accommodation for August that has 4 bedrooms, and we only need two. (Really good value student accommodation that is let out for the summer). DSD has been coached to tell all extended family that we only have two bedrooms as BIL and DH's aunt are apparently coming on holiday to the same destination at the same time as us-joy! I will have a nervous breakdown if they stay with us! You are a saint op.

I may have to take notes and report back Grin
We don't go until the Whit holidays.

She is really looking forward to it

I must be antisocial too then. Holidays are stressful enough without adding extended family into the mix

She is not that bad as MILs go, I just don't want to go on holiday with her really. I don't want to go on holiday with anyone who doesn't live in my house.

I wouldn't put up with that either
