82y old MIL expects me or DH to put in her suppositories when she comes for xmas?

[tiredpooky]

she is constipated last few days and wont even try to put them in herself. (Always been a helpless lady last 20y i've known her, expects others to 'do' for her)
I mean I am right arent I? Totally inappropriate and gross. DH says he wont and I have never got on with the lady...
{makes wretching sound}
she knows she can get the district nurse, but we get the impression that as she is coming here anyway, we might as well do it for her........
has she no shame?

I have a feeling that suddenly a lot of people are feeling happier with their own in laws.

n.b. I have never taken on an emoti-art project more challenging than the attempted insertion of a Christmas suppository into a Mother-In-Law. Please accept my apologies for its obvious failings.

Awesome.

here's your superhero cape

with great power comes great responsibility.

Wow talc, respect.

And don't forget OP if you do it for her its blunt end first! Good luck

Penny - does that mean there is a sharp end?

Whatever for?

@ talc - when are you opening your emoti-art gallery?

One end is usually pointier than the other end.

Lye on left side, Insert blunt end first. The bowel can grip it better.

they are bullet shaped - for better butt-resistance

No way. Tell her she will be better off in an old people's home next year!

Seriously, she cannot expect you to put something up her bum.

How long is she staying? Why does she expect you or dh to do it? What has dh said and what has he said about this? Surely he doesn't expect you to do it?

actually its insane expecting someone who is not a nurse to push something up your bum. tell her to
a) do it herself
b) take lactulose
c) do not come

Yes I find it a bit odd that she wants someone untrained rootling around their nipsy...is that it? Have I got it fully up? Surely that's goong to be more uncomfortable than just slinging it up your own a-hole?

For goodness sake suppositories are all the rage on the continent , get her squiffy on baileys , hand her the object and point her to the nearest loo , whilst shrugging gailically (sp) .
They really arnt very big , its not as though you are coming at her with a length of hose and a jug of soapy water , although maybe if you did she might suddenly decide to have a go herself .

get a really long and pointy fake nail job the day before she is to arrive

Ok. Someone explain the emoti art thing. All I see is a lot of lines.

demented - there's a woman on the left with her bum sticking out, a woman on the right with hand outstretched holding suppository about to insert it in the other woman

Talc

Thakyou

And I thought I'd heard it all!

And OP is??????

Am starting to think it's one of those threads. ..

What about one of those gun things you use to put filler in around the bath? Put one on end and up it goes pow! Lol

Talc, your genius continues to astonish me

I think MNHQ needs a subsection: Christmas classic threads. My favourites have been the family who did the slap bum dance and one where the dw wanted to leave her dh due to an unreasonable dsd and dog
