My MIL has a bit of a mouth on her, and yesterday, shouted at our neighbour who accused her of driving too fast into our close as she was putting her kids in the car. MIL shouldn't have said what she did so I went round to try and smooth things over as MIL was really upset.
I spoke to the neighbour and pointed out that MIL was so upset and that she would never hurt a child, but the woman was still very angry about it as it was in front of her children and she was on her own drive. I said I didn't want to argue and she said she didn't care as she had called the police! Wtf! I told her if she did that I'd tell them she didn't supervise her kids properly as I've seen them run out into the road.
I thought she was bluffing but there was a police car there just now! AIBU to think it's a waste of police time if she's just having a moan about my MIL?

I said the more I read the less I believe then bam came the 1 Million pound houses Grin if that is {cough} true then private CCTV would be the norm. At least is is in my squillion pound council house mansion.

JerseySpud · 28/03/2014 19:35

Yeah million pound houses, thats sold it for me.

Sigh

It just goes downhill from here on out

peppapigmustdie · 28/03/2014 19:35

Strike out fail

Floggingmolly · 28/03/2014 19:35

Your neighbours are all "nice" because they are doctors or own their own businesses? Hmm. Your MIL is a ratbag fom hell, with your encouragement , so your neighbours sadly can't say the same about you, despite your business owning credentials.
But it doesn't matter, because this is a windup, isn't it?
Nobody quite as thick and proud of it as you sound.

Stropzilla · 28/03/2014 19:36

Oh yes tell us about the million pound houses! Everyone knows house owners are just better than those who rent.

eightandthreequarters · 28/03/2014 19:37

Wow, I love this thread! OP is rude and defends her horrible, foul-mouthed, speeding MIL after MIL nearly kills the neighbour's children. But all that's okay cuz OP owns her own million-pound home, and the neighbours only rent. Grin

I assume this is a wind-up, but some people truly are thick as two short planks, and OP could be one of 'em.

MagnaCharge · 28/03/2014 19:37

I am so glad this is a wind up. Because honestly if a neighbours MIL had done that to me and the tjing with the note about the car. I would not only have phoned the police but it would Have triggered my anxiety and I would actually be quite ill.

Jolleigh · 28/03/2014 19:37

Ah well, the OP has a million pound house. That obviously means she can't be scum. Hmm

You should be seriously ashamed of yourself and so should your MIL. Every time you come back you somehow make the situation more disgusting.

I hope the landlord does contact your neighbour. She'll be able to tell him what happened, give him a crime number and a copy of the CCTV. You'll look a right twat.

WhoDaresWins · 28/03/2014 19:37

Has your MIL been in trouble before? Presumably this is not the first time she's lost her rag like that?

Pleasejustgo · 28/03/2014 19:38

Nouveau Riche ghetto then. You miss my point OP.

shakinstevenslovechild · 28/03/2014 19:38

House owners are better than those who rent.

I sometimes go and press my nose against the windows of homeowners so I can see how the other half live

peppapigmustdie · 28/03/2014 19:39

And if as you say they don't do much then it is highly doubtful they could rent in your million pound cul due sac. Have you not heard of the bedroom tax and benefit cap? I

Suzyjane1 · 28/03/2014 19:39

Vicky Pollard ?

BOFtastic · 28/03/2014 19:39

Hahaaaaaaaa Grin. No way is this real. No way.

Stropzilla · 28/03/2014 19:39

I'd rent too if it was a million pound house! It would probably be much nicer than where I am!

peppapigmustdie · 28/03/2014 19:41

magna I know what you mean, sometimes it is relief that a thread is so clearly made up so no one has had to actually go through the supposed situation.

Pleasejustgo · 28/03/2014 19:42

It's a ghetto they're probably all drug dealers so it may look like they don't do much! Would explain the CCTV to some degree I suppose.

Onesieone · 28/03/2014 19:42

Seriously? A lovely lady? Hmmm I question your judgement.

OnIlkelyMoorBahtat · 28/03/2014 19:43

You both sound like complete scum.

Jinty64 · 28/03/2014 19:44

You would think it was Friday night - oh wait a minute, it is!

hiddenhome · 28/03/2014 19:45

Ha, ha, million pound houses eh?

Are you fur coat and sandshoes lottery winners OP?

MammaTJ · 28/03/2014 19:45

I have been your neighbour! I live on an estate where children play quite happily and safely in the street. There are speed bumps down the main road though it, so it keeps the estate fairly safe.

There are idiots who don't care about their suspensions though and is they swing in to my cul-de-sac very fast, then I tell them about themselves.

Quite frankly, if someone gave me abuse for doing so, I would ring the police too.

LaurieFairyCake · 28/03/2014 19:47

Oh yeah, you're clearly the type to own a million pound house. Hmm

There is no way that a scrotey little scumbag like you and yours has money

Famzilla · 28/03/2014 19:47

What the actual fuck?

Don't worry. With a bit of luck your neighbour will see sense and move house. You and your MIL sound like absolute scum. A grown woman making sexist misogynistic remarks to another in front of her children, vile.

Pleasejustgo · 28/03/2014 19:48

Drugs and the MIL has found the stash
