AIBU to go out into the garden and hide for the rest of the day?

[richpersoninapoorpersonsbody]

Things are not going well here!! I had a vision of a lovely family Christmas where I would drink copious amounts of alcohol to get through Mil stay however someone somewhere has decided otherwise
My lovely Dh has the flu and my 1yr old has a very high temp and a sickness bug, Mil and her partner have arrived early and she has done nothing but complain that this could be her last Xmas day (no idea why she is healthy) and how it is now ruined. She has cried about having to drive to us, moaned about my Dds lack of interest in her and thrown a strop about the drinks on offer. She is currently sat in our spare room on the phone to her dsis complaing very loudly that we have ruined Christmas for her!
So I've phoned my dad and begged him to come down early and I'm thinking of hiding in Dd's playhouse till he gets here - unless anyone can come up with another plan?

Wow you know not to invite her again ...so it is in effect the last one ...tell her that!

Tell her to F off home?

Gosh what an bitch I'd send her home saying DH is I'll and so is DD it be best she 'save' herself. That way your family can have a quite restful day.

Walk in with a cup of tea, take phone from her hand and hang up call and say loudly now this needs to stop we are all trying to have a nice day even though there are POORLY PEOPLE in the house. What's making you think you won't see another Christmas? That is upsetting DD please shut up.

Or just say right, bye then you don't want to be here and we are all unwell see you in New Year.

Your DH spoiled his own mother's Christmas by getting 'flu? What a thoughtless bastard! Make plans to leave him immediately. And he can take that germ-ridden baby with him.

Suggest next time she starts on about "this could be my last Christmas" mutter just loud enough to be heard, "one can only hope". And then swear blind you said something completely different. At least you have the power to decide it's going to be her last Christmas day at your place, hold onto that thought.

Tell her that it will be her last Christmas, nay, last 24 hours if she does not lighten up.
Have a lovely Christmas once she has gone home soon.

What a silly cow she is!

I cannot understand why people like that go on about Xmas being ruined when it is not anyone's fault.

Jesus! (Every pun intended)

What a cow.

Dear MIL, if you carry on like this it WILL be your last Xmas, well your last one here anyway.

I just laughed loud enough at Anniegetyourgun's "one can only hope" comment for the kids to ask me what what up.

If you are the confrontational type (like I am) or are onto your 2nd bottle of bubbly (like I am) I would say straight to her, "Do you think anyone in this house wanted to be sick on Christmas Day? Why don't you help me with XXX and stop complaining?"

Thank you all I'm currently curled up on the sofa with dd whilst my lovey but slightly senil god mother is telling her all about her constipation Dh has agreed this is a last time thing and is back up in bed. Aibu makes me realise someone somewhere is worse of then I am.

Off not of!
