To question why MIL bought this...

[Fluffyears]

Turn up to take MIL shopping and she presents this, she has bought this for herself from the charity shop....it's also pretty far from true!

[Fluffyears]

She will you know and it's definitely b) she is actually jealous of any time dp spends with me (we live together) and tries to control all his free time and monopolise it. Everything is always all about her and her needs.

[NoArmaniNoPunani]

She'll tell all her mates you bought it for her.

[RubbishRobotFromTheDawnOfTime]

I get the impression it's b)!

[JustSpeakSense]

She's either

A) got a great sense of humour

b) a self centred narcissist

[FrancesNiadova]

I'll SWOP! (I'll never stop.though!)

[FrancesNiadova]

I'll stop. My MIL bought me a copy of, "Don't marry her, F me." Bless!

[Fluffyears]

Rubbish robot I think I will get that for her Christmas. Just seems an odd thing to be buying yourself. I told my mum and thought she was going to pass our laughing at it. This woman is not quite right. If I wrote out her behaviour it would take weeks.

[RubbishRobotFromTheDawnOfTime]

Sadly not, but they do cutouts to order so you could have one made! At the same time as you're getting an "Notscar" (I coined that, do you like it?) engraved for 'World's Biggest Fantasist' for MIL's next birthday

[Fluffyears]

Do they have a life size Hugh jackman I love him.wife of year is a bit of fun but she bought this fir herself and I imagine is telling people I got her it

[RubbishRobotFromTheDawnOfTime]

The place that sells those also does life-size cardboard cutouts. Like this.

[RubbishRobotFromTheDawnOfTime]

I want one of these. Of course, DH will have to get me one every year. Or I could just buy it myself!

[Fluffyears]

Fairy I need that to counteract this heinous crime!! At least it wasn't one of her church friends home made shite Christmas decorations. Think a lump of badly varnished wood with two baubles glued on top, I actually said 'oh you keep it here'.

[whitecampion]

I actually snorted my wine I laughed so much at this thread!

[Fairyfellowsmasterstroke]

OP - I have a present for you open here

[Thebodynowchillingsothere]

Hilarious

[regularrectangle]

My boyfriend bought me one of these as my gift from his trip to LA when we first got together (it does say worlds best girlfriend).

My face looked like this .

[Fluffyears]

Soppycay it will only happen over my cold corpse! Thankfully my dp is similar. In fact we're not married so she's no-ones official mil!

Rubbish robot reading MN i cannot think why there is a market for this.

[BigRedBall]

Make sure you know how to spell "definitely" correctly before you get sharpie happy.

[RubbishRobotFromTheDawnOfTime]

I'm trying to think why there is a market for something like that. Is it filled with explosive?

[soppycatlovelady]

Fluffyears, we have booked a cruise qnd all we are getting is " I'd loooove to go on a cruise" from MiL. I told her we walked for miles sightseeing and she said "But you can just stay on the boat if you want" I was proud of DH when he told her how nice it was that it would be just the 2 of us unlike many holidays with DC and evev DGC.

[Fluffyears]

Wonder if the original gifter wonders where it is. Or was it a marriage breakup and MIL chucked it along with all the pictures of previous sil/dil

[MrsTerrorPratchett]

I can just imagine the AIBU thread. "AIBU to donate a hideous statuette my awful DIL got me for Mother's Day?"

Could you mould tiny crossed fingers out of gold Fimo?

[Fluffyears]

Fairy I'm getting the sharpie now [evil laugh]!

[Fairyfellowsmasterstroke]

OP- When she's not looking attach a post-it note just above the wording on the tat award with the words "Definately not...."

[Fluffyears]

Ha ha owl yeah I kinda wonder where it can't from and in what circumstances..,,she's now commenting on how much she'd like to go to new york but sighs 'I can't go alone' she knows we have booked up! Eh yeah keep dreaming dear!
