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.

"what would Audrey Hepburn do?" 😂😂😂

I need a t-shirt with that on it. Brilliant!

Paula - the MIL is the carcass!

She was talking about the, presumably, chicken carcass throughout dinner and what to do with it, so when the OP lost it, she shouted at her MIL that she was the carcass. Not the most logical epithet, but surely the funniest under the circs!

This is the funniest thread ever. "YOU are the carcass." Brilliant, it'll go down in mumsnet history. It's the new ultimate insult.

Just your thread title is awful, "to totally lose it at HIS parents house", from this title I am assuming you don't like your OH/DH either?

You may have come across better by saying something more like "to totally lose it at OH's parents house"

You seem very aggressive.

If ever there was an thread just begging for the immortal MN response "Are you on glue?" then this is it!

I love the idea of the in-laws living in a grovel (but can guess what you actually meant, OP).

But I cannot fathom what on earth the carcass could actually be. My guesses include:
Christmas? (MIL wants to sort it out - yes, but Christmas doesn't work with the ensuing insult),
Courtcase? (Big family row? But again You are the court case, nah)
Crackers? (MIL wants to sort them out and she is crackers. Possible.)
A real carcass? (the Christmas turkey? A decaying elephant in the corner of the room? A previous daughter in law under the patio? )

OP - your post has raised a smile among many a poster here so thank you. I hope you take the banter in the light-hearted spirit meant.

And could you enlighten us about the carcass, please?

Damn you op, I hurt from laughing.

Seriously though, I wouldn't ever darken their hovel again. Too much weird.

Thank you OP, this thread has cheered up my Monday morning no end!

So who turned out to be the carcass?

I am WEEPING over 'I am Sparcarcass'!!!

The only advice I would give you is to be firm and don't hold grudges. It seems like you've been bottling it all up and now it's come out in this angry way which is obviously unreasonable purely because they let your daughter out in the snow. Next time you just tell them firmly 'did you not hear me? I said DD is not going out in the snow'. She reports you to social services, of course any normal parents would shout at her/be very angry. Let them know you're not happy at the time and hopefully that will avoid these sudden outbursts! I would apologise for saying the things you said but explain that you were just really sick and tired of them overruling you blah blah blah whatever else they've done, you just went about it the wrong way.

Yes Lozza but the MIL is a carcuss and you can't reason with a carcuss!!

Please come back OP. I need more details about the carcass and the lollies.
DH is wondering why I'm shaking with laughter and tears streeming down my face. I tried to explain but must have lost something in translation as he didn't find it hilarious in spanish.

This is one of those times where you have to say "If someone reports you to social services accusing you of breaking your child's leg, do not go to dinner at their house. It will not end well. Some things just cannot be forgotten over wine and carcass."

What a surprise op hasn't come back!

Soukko that quote is going to turn up as a Facebook meme sometime soon, attributed to Ghandi, probably, maybe.

Sunday roasts eh, bloody nightmare!

It's not the roast that's the problem notenid it's what to do with the carcuss that's the tricky bit!
Firesidechat can I ask what you mean about doing an advanced search for the OP's name? I thought we were all anonymous.

And OP it's such a shame you won't come back and tell us about the carcuss in the hovel and the lollies in the fridge and why DD had no shoes on in the hovel..........Pleeeeeeeease come and tell us about the carcuss.

If anyone needs a new nickname I sugest Spatacarcass, just to remind of all of this thread and to keep the brilliant pun alive!

Nana, if you do an advanced search you can do it for a particular username.

If you go to advanced search you can look up a poster's name and see what else they have written. I only did it with this op to see if they were usually a rational person having a very bad day or something else entirely. I'm none the wiser.

The OP doesn't say her child was barefoot. She said she had no shoes on. That does allow for socks...

I'm so disappointed that the mystery of the carcass has not been revealed.

OP Please come back and explain.

I am Sparcarcuss.

Laughing and laughing and laughing here!!!

Fuck off you old carcass and stop breaking the fridge with your lollies.

Priceless. You couldn't make it up.

This is the funniest thread I have read for ages!

Thanks Thumb was just skimming the thread in work. Have read the thread now - none the wiser really but have laughed til I cried.

What is it that is so funny about the word carcass? Best insult ever!

Merry Carcass

I'm a carcass - get me out of here!
