We are in the middle of preparing a family meal when my MIL, out of the blue, leans over and whispers, 'I don't like the smell of sperm.'
Extremely confused and sure I haven't heard her correctly I say, 'Wha??'
'SPERM!' she whispers louder.
i just shook my head and took in the uncomfortable silence that followed.

Loolah, I just let out a blood curdling scream because of your post

dyzzidi · 20/06/2011 20:44

haha my mil once asked me if her son wanted sex all the time like she does or is he is not that bothered about it like his dad.

I just laughed and said mind your own bloody business. What a freak!

A few years ago my mil got shit faced at our ny eve party, snogged dhs mate then threw up and passed out in the garden.

saffy85 · 20/06/2011 20:50

Shock Grin I swear my pelvic floor nearly gave way!

Erm... yeah a bit weird to randomly share that information with you. Had MIL been at gin bottle?

ENormaSnob · 20/06/2011 20:52

Maybe fil has been wiping his cock on her pillow Shock

iwanttoseethezoo · 20/06/2011 20:54

i don't blame her - nor do I! It makes me gag. But what a strange time to bring it up!

BelleDameSansMerci · 20/06/2011 20:56

At least she didn't comment on the taste... Grin

ENormaSnob I have just splurted coffee all over my screen Grin

LDNmummy · 20/06/2011 21:08

Whatever the case may be, if your MIL actually said that and not spam, she is a legend Grin

Fairycakewithsprinkles · 20/06/2011 21:12

OMG!!!!! I love your MIL - mine only comes out with bitter and twisted comments on everything. Your MIL sounds liek a breath of fresh air if you pardon the pun!

Swap?

madhousewife · 20/06/2011 21:15

Fairy - better the devil you know, as they say!
I might just have to keep mine around for a few laughs on the ole MN board.

I dropped Ds off for babysitting one morning. Let myself in with the key I had been given and told to use on my wedding day and called "Hello" into a seemingly empty house. "Up here" called MIL, "come upstairs" so we did - only to find her totally naked and towelling herself off having just gotten out of the shower!! Shock

Kudos for being so comfortable in her skin but jeeze, I had no idea where to look!

RevoltingPeasant · 20/06/2011 21:32

No mil stories - thankfully - but my DM did try to have The Talk with me in the kitchen once... Whilst a plumber was unblocking the sink. I've never seen a tradesman work so fast particularly after she remarked thoughtfully, 'your father has never liked the feel of condoms'...

PinkSchmoo · 20/06/2011 21:41

This thread has made my day!

Whole bloody house has the squits, changed more beds and nappies than I can count, several with my head down the bog, DH is dying duck and MN delivers this.

I salute you. I may even love you all. Off to bed smiling.

Honeydragon · 20/06/2011 21:45

What the hell kind of conversation was she trying to start??????

Was she after you to say you don't either, so she doesn't feel alone? Can you direct your MiL to Gransnet, so she can start a AIBU about it? Grin

Grabaspoon · 20/06/2011 21:52

What were you cooking?

minkulus · 20/06/2011 21:54

Oh god- the restorative power of mumsnet!
have had a shitty few days but can now take myself off to bed having howled with laughter and choked on my tea.
Thank you madhousewife and your very odd MIL Grin

Serenitysutton · 20/06/2011 22:06

Revolting peasant that is hilarious, the poor bloke! Dhs sperm doesn't smell, is that odd?

ensure · 20/06/2011 22:10

I don't like the smell of leather.
Your MIL and I would not enjoy partaking in a kinky threesome.

budgieshell · 20/06/2011 22:19

Has she or you had hair permed. I hate the smell of perms and sperm for that matter.

Mandy2003 · 20/06/2011 22:26

Wow, 50 or 60 years of nurturing that thought, having it festering away inside her then finally...sitting in YOUR kitchen...the dam finally breaks and - there it is said - it's out in the open and running free!!

Did she look visibly unburdened once she'd shared?

GwendolineMaryLacey · 20/06/2011 22:27

What the actual fuck?? :o :o I would have dug a hole for myself to climb into if MIL said that to me!

Julesnobrain · 20/06/2011 22:55

Are you sure she did not say perm as in hair do.? Maybe she was hinting for a compliment? EG MIL your hair looks nice... Answer thanks I've just had a perm????
