My mil blocked my drive on my wedding day whilst wearing a white flowing dress with a car full of uninvited family members?
Does this cover it? Parking, weddings and mil? All my favourites in one great thread!
Need to know what happens next!

Not in my space you won't. I'll get NAR and FONAR to deal with you.

Sickofthesnow · 28/02/2015 15:56

Jeremy Kyle would be really interested in these shenanigans!

Does MIL have a job?

BallsforEarrings · 28/02/2015 15:59

I hope she doesn't hire a cleaner especially since she hasn't got a job!

Tobyjugg · 28/02/2015 16:05

(a) I'm a bloke and (b) I've not been on MN that long, but shouldn't there be a goat somewhere about this thread?

chinstrappenguin · 28/02/2015 16:11

The goat is at home watching the 50 inch flat screen tv eating a takeaway.

ToastMakesMeHappy · 28/02/2015 16:14

If she does hire a cleaner will in be on the contract to dust the vases of decorative twigs around the house?

BallsforEarrings · 28/02/2015 16:21

Will her husband mind her hiring a cleaner though?

MrsDumbledore · 28/02/2015 16:25

These uninvited family members in the car -YABU if you didn't invite plus ones... and children. .... and siblings. .. and you need to make sure they all get a free bar, canapés and party bags.
Oh, but YABU if you are spending more than £500 on your wedding. . You probably use a chicken for less than 4 family meals too Angry

Tobyjugg · 28/02/2015 16:35

Is it OK if we have a lavatory brush just to clean up after the goat?

BallsforEarrings · 28/02/2015 16:40

Tobyjugg only if you have a proper discussion about it with OH first and agree upon how to go forward! MIL may not approve though!

Royalsighness · 28/02/2015 16:54

How often does MIL wash though? Is it 2 times a day or is she a minger that only does it once?

It may be worth mentioning to her that her lack of washing is making people dislike her and actually, all though she can't smell herself, she makes you boak

Royalsighness · 28/02/2015 16:58

I popped into MIL breifly last weekend for a quick roast dinner and to collect mine and DH ironing and she hadn't brushed the cats teeth.

AIBU to stop sending DCs there of a weekend based on such poor hygiene?

Sister77 · 28/02/2015 17:26

She wears her shoes in the house!

You should go no contact. And if dp doesn't agree he is EA. LTB.

MrsDumbledore · 28/02/2015 17:41

Btw not getting the goat references, so if anyone would post a link or point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful!

Tobyjugg · 28/02/2015 17:48

MrsDumbledore I don't get them either. It's just that I've noticed odd references to goats scattered widely thoroughout MN threads for no apparent reason.

AdoraBell · 28/02/2015 17:58

Tobbyjug and MrsDumbledore apparently someone, somewhere, used the perfectly inocuos term "it really gets my goat" in relationship To something on some or other thread and it just exploded Shock is now all over MN, you literally can't avoid it.

Sirzy · 28/02/2015 18:01

Did she park in a parent and child space?

Tobyjugg · 28/02/2015 18:02

Thank you AdoraBell My regards to Mr von Lipwig

KneesOfTheBee · 28/02/2015 18:02

If it isn't all on Facebook - it didn't happen.

Claybury · 28/02/2015 18:17

The DNDN 's teenage son was watching the whole thing out of the window while smoking a joint with his GF. Should I get the local police to come and chat to him about drugs ? Should I tell GF's mum she stayed over last night - she's 15 and he's 18.

AdoraBell · 28/02/2015 18:18

Thanks Tobyjugg he will be pleased that someone has remembered himGrin

Puzzledandpissedoff · 28/02/2015 18:23

I'm a bit worried about all this time MIL seems to be spending with the kids ... I do hope this isn't in term time??

Sister77 · 28/02/2015 19:09

Btw mil is a headteacher who won't authorise holidays for her own dgc! She won't park on her own drive and has put penguin bollards in place to make sure no one else does!

Bet she didn't look like she gave a shit either.
