To wish mil would go to bed?

[nothingbyhalves]

Mil staying with us since Wednesday. Hates swearing on tv ( but says bloody in every sentence ) thus after 9 pm we are restricted in tv viewing. We ask her what she wants to watch, board games etc. constant response is "I don't watch tv/play board games etc"

She is currently snoozing in arm chair, but wakes every 5 mins or so. Just wish she would go to bed do we can watch mrs browns boys!!! Aibu?

Have you tried controlled crying?

:o

Yabu to want to watch Mrs Brown's Boys. Utter tripe!

But the rest, YANBU.

Put the swearing programmes on (Mrs Brown's Boys is ideal) and she will go to bed quicker surely??

my mil loves mrs browns boys, i blardy hate it! lets swap

Watch what you want if she's not putting forward any other ideas. Then she'll go to bed in disgust.

Yuk to Mrs Browns Boys. Could you move the tv to your bedroom?

Bins drag I laughed so loud she woke up !!!!!

Sorry bonadrag,

I feel for you.
my dparents are here for a visit and the evenings consis of watching tv. which in reality is me watching and them snoozing and jumping every 10 min to ask me what has happened.
I vacated the living room so they can set up bed (on the sofa in living room). they have to get up first, though.

When we have the same problem we put HIGNFY or Mock the Week on. Last time they spent the first 10 min slagging off UKIP and she went to bed in disgust.

Result.

Sorry OP.

If it doesn't work you could try the MIL Whisperer.

(Runs away in shame)

She is now loudly snoring!!! Can't hear swearing on tv!

Have given up and gone to bed myself!
