Not only has she come to stay at my house while we are on holiday, she has.......

bloody cleaned from top to bottom,

Walked the dogs

Kept DD2 company.

Watered my garden

Bought fresh bread and milk for our return

Cleaned my bathroom

Ironed my pants.
Shock

What a fucking liberty. How very dare she?

And how on earth do I thank her?

You need to nip that in the bud and go NC.

MrsChopper · 13/07/2017 21:27

That's outrageous!

Ypu must punish such begaviour with a bottle of her favourite tipple and some flowers. That'll teach her!

Ollycat · 13/07/2017 21:27

Tell her to respect your boundaries and if not go NC

But has she subjected your knickers to a sufficiently high temperature to melt the elastic?

Imagine the scenes

NukaColaGirl · 13/07/2017 21:30

Call 101 and have it logged.

Psychotic behaviour.

skippy85 · 13/07/2017 21:31

Omg 😱
How dare she! Think lessons need to be taught! Suitable punishment would be a meal cooked for her and some flowers maybe!
Then send her to me...she can take the liberty at mine if she wants. I need a MIL like her!

PenguinOfDoom · 13/07/2017 21:31

Ironed your actual pants? Shock Go NC immediately!

MayhemandMadness01 · 13/07/2017 21:32

She's not your problem, she is your DH's problem. Let him deal with her.

PumpkinSpiceEverything · 13/07/2017 21:32

Shocking behaviour. My heart goes out to you.

I'd send HER on a holiday Grin

It's a cover up for her master plan.

ethelfleda · 13/07/2017 21:33

What a witch. I would be extremely offended as this clearly means she thinks you aren't capable of ironing your own pants.

SpottedGingham · 13/07/2017 21:33

Send her over here? Grin

BarbarianMum · 13/07/2017 21:36

Only your pants? My mum irons dh's pants and socks.

KatyBerry · 13/07/2017 21:36

you think you have it bad. my elderly ma made me carry her a copy of the Daily Mail around a hospital, in front of NHS staff :-(

Nocabbageinmyeye · 13/07/2017 21:36

Call 101, then LTB, go nc and then take yourself off on a spa day. That's about right isn't it?

Pants, uniforms, t shirts, everything Grin

And she kept (autistic, difficult, stroppy, teenager) DD2 company all week. And they had a proper good time.
