OK ok

So I've seen a few of these before and they proper cracked me up.

I thought of it randomly today and decided to start one.

I promise that you that it is all entirely lighthearted and that I know that not all mil are bad ;)

So go on, ask me or tell me something?

For I am your mil.

My Milngavie mil raised an eyebrow at my scheme background
Never good enough for her posh son, I’m evidently a reprobate

Dear MIL

Sort out your own fucking house move. It has driven me to the brink and put me in an impossible situation - stuck between my family and you and DH. Sort it yourself, I’m done because I cannot win.

Because of you you have one son who is emotionally stunted and another who is an alcoholic racist. I can’t help but think that if you had spent more time parenting and protecting them from abusive FIL and less time drinking gin, I wouldn’t have to be picking up the pieces for them today.

Stop being so passive and woe is me. Get off your arse and bloody do something.

I just want to give you a big hug

I miss you so, so much. More than I ever thought I could miss another human being. You did so much for me and your grandchildren and I hope you know just how loved and appreciated you were. Your final few months were so painful yet you did your best to smile whenever the children were around. You sat up in bed whenever the doctor came, because you didn't want a fuss. You were the most dignified, stoical, good-humoured person I have ever known, and I can only hope to be a tenth of the woman you were.

Mil why didn't you have dh adopted if he was such a mistake instead of continuing to remind him until he told you to fuck off in his mid 30's and we had ds... He then had a light bulb moment on how a dc should be treated and dumped you...

MIL - I’m pleased for you that you lost weight and reached your target with slimming world. You do not need to tell me this every time we meet, it has been 4 years and is boring! Please find a new topic of conversation but don’t let that be migration as I don’t ever want to hear your views on that again. Thank you.

Dear late MIL. If you are really horrible to someone every single time they come to stay and make the visit as uncomfortable and unpleasant as possible, they aren’t going to want to visit. No, it was never ‘like a holiday’.
I’m glad ever single Christmas that I don’t have to spend it with you trying to ruin it.

Where is the 15k you stole from my husband? As in actually stole from his account using a passbook we didnt even know you still had.
Our daughter was 6 weeks old at that point. She's never met you, never will. Guess why?

TotorosFurryBehind · 05/10/2020 23:40

You have caused my kind and gentle husband so much pain that I will be glad when you die.

Vargas · 05/10/2020 23:51

Dear MIL - the emails you send in full Caps lock, with commas as apostrophes absolutely crack us all up. Please keep sending. We also love how you had about 7000 tabs open on your ipad browser because you didn’t know how to close them. You clearly love looking up house prices on your street. Grin

Beryl, we love and miss you so much. You welcomed me into your family and I only knew you for a few short years. In that time you showed me what a lovely sweet kind forward-thinking lady you were, I truly wish that you were still here.

Sadly it's looking like E is going to be joining you soon, I can only pray that you'll be together again when that day comes. As loved parents in law, I couldn't have done better.

Love and miss you loads.
