to have lost it and gone ape shit at his parents house?

[DryGob]

His parents are the two most annoying people in the world. Yesterday we were there at their house. His mother constantly went on and on about sorting the carcass out, his father was attention seeking, coughing and spluttering good everywhere while we were trying to eat, the pair of them kept coming out with ridiculous stories that made them sound like twats, going on about how much money and jewellery they had and how spoilt she was by insisting that FIL and DH buy her new jewellery every Christmas and then to top it off - his father let DD outside after I'd specifically said she wasn't to go out but he opened the door in a cocky manner and let her out in the snow with no shoes on!!!! So I lost it, told MIL that she was the carcass, asked if they were so rich why is their house a disgusting grovel and told them that if they undermine me with dd again they'll be banned from unsupervised contact. Now, nobody (including dh) is talking to me.

[SurlyCue]

You took your child to a "disgusting grovel" and let her run around in bare feet despite having a chest infection?

[MrEverything]

I'm not surprised nobody is talking to you. I'd be devastated if you called me a carcass. :( :( :( :(

[HicDraconis]

Liney!😂😂😂

[SnowBodyforrrrm]

You ARE the weakest carcass. Goodbye!

[DuchessDaisy]

OP seriously, they do sound annoying, avoid family dinners at theirs? It will blow over I'm sure. At least you won't be doing Christmas there....

Sounds like MIL reporting you to SS is the major issue tbh.

Liney

[BumpTheElephant]

WTF?? Op, You all sound very unreasonable but I'm laughing my head off at calling your mil a carcass. Reminds me of my mother, she isn't very nice and used to say "move your carcass" instead of "excuse me", only in the house though. She meant it rudely but it used to crack me up everytime.

[Olddear]

I'm sore laughing at this!! 'You're the carcass!' What does that even mean???

[BumpTheElephant]

at weakest carcass!

[MTWTFSS]

((hugs)) DryGob I have horrible in-laws as well. I just choose to not see them. DH sees them about once a year but I refuse to go.

[Finallyonboard]

If someone had put my DD outside against my wishes I would have got her & myself ready and left. There isn't any point arguing, it's easier to walk away.

As a side, I literally adore my MIL, she's actually in my top 5 favourite people! I would really struggle to tolerate your PIL, they sound awful.

[SarfEast1cated]

Is "sorting the carcass out" a euphamism? Not sure why it upset you so much. Not sure how you can break a fridge with a lolly. But really they sound pretty awful (SS???) so maybe try to keep away in future!

[ThenLaterWhenItGotDark]

I think the dd ran like bloody hell barefoot into the snow to get out of the madhouse. She's probably still running.

Liney!

PMSL @ weakest carcass!

[EnglishWeddingGuest]

Pmsl - this is the best thread EVER

[EnglishWeddingGuest]

Spartacarcass - hahhahahahahahahahahahahhHahH

[TheoriginalLEM]

maybe the carcass was human and that was why it was so tense at chez in laws.

Either that or it was a dead wasp.....

[PaulAnkaTheDog]

So confused right now...

[SilentlyScreamingAgain]

1. Try and convince them it was all a dream.
   

1. Tell them you started on the gin at breakfast and ask for money for rehab. Maybe she could sell the bling?
   

1. Claim to have been abducted by aliens. Mention an anal probe, no one keeps asking questions after an anal probe has been mentioned.
   

1. Just pretend to be sorry and never visit again.
   

Good luck with Christmas.

[RoseWithoutAThorn]

No bloody wonder no-one is talking to you. Can I get this right? You are not going to "allow" unsupervised contact? Does your child's father have an opinion on this?

[Wallabyone]

This thread is odd Merr y

YANBU re: FIL letting DD with a chest infection out into the snow with no shoes on.

YABU re: carcass and "grovel" (hovel?) comments.

If I told MIL she was a carcass & her house was a disgusting hovel, I doubt very much DH would be talking to me either!

[Error404usernamenotfound]

OP, you have some sympathy from me, although I think YABU to shout at them. Your ILs sound just like my exP's parents; his mum would go on about something daft, like there being a crease in the tablecloth (seriously, that was once the sole topic of conversation for an entire meal), while his dad would undermine everything anyone said and refuse to accept any other point of view other than his own. I nearly went insane trying to be polite for entire weekends, there was just something intensely irritating about them.

However, if your DD has a chest infection, and your IL's house is dirty, then don't take her round. If your MIL had made appalling and wholly unfounded accusations about you to SS then perhaps you need to seriously consider how much time you want to be spending with them anyway.

LOL at 'Sparcarcass', btw

[mintoil]

So, erm, well. No, never mind.
