To think that 7am on a work morning is not the time to "call in"

I actually get on quite well with my FIL but sometimes he is a complete fucking cockwomble.

They live about a mile down the road and him and DH work together in the family business. Occasionally he forgets it's 2017 and he can call DH to find out what he's planning to do that day, although today that wasn't necessary as they already knew what everyone was doing.

So why does he stride into my just mopped kitchen unannounced letting all the fucking dogs in, move all my cushions out of the window seat to accommodate his arse at 7 o fucking clock in the morning when he knows we're both busy getting shit together before work, I'm usually in various states of undress and at just under 38 weeks pregnant, not in the best of spirits.

And then the fucker says "what have you got there, a coffee?" Yes, yes I fucking have and I'm not offering you one, I'm sure you've got your own hot beverage making facilities at your own fucking house, off back to which you can fuck.

Argh. I feel sorry for my MIL on days like today. I'm in a bad mood now.

I would have made him a coffee!

Sometimes I think I don't belong on mumsnet

Impressed with 7am floor mopping, and even more so at 38 weeks pregnant (are you nesting?)
Not impressed with FIL - lock the door!

This is so unbelievably inconsiderate. You need to learn the word "no", though. Next time he comes around at ridiculous o'clock, just say that you're busy getting ready for work, and no he can't come in. Boundaries, woman!

I do feel your pain, though. I was woken at 6am by a text from PIL telling us they are on a coach to Cherbourg on holiday. Angry I am considering "accidentally" pocket dialling them after midnight in revenge.

AyUpMiDuck · 08/09/2017 10:32

i quite agree about various states of undress!
Start now - no need to wait till the baby arrives.
Talk about your bladder and your swelling breasts.
Meanwhile..... give him a job to do-:
"ooh i'm glad you popped in- can you take care of the puppies and mop the floor? I'm dying for a pee and I have to take a shower " Then disappear to the bathroom for an hour.

Your DH has to have a word with his father.

"Get the fuck out of my house."

That would be all I could manage. Appalling.

SlothMama · 08/09/2017 10:39

I wouldn't have made him a coffee either, cheeky bugger. My FIL will turn up at my SIL house all the time and expect a drink and food. Has been known to turn up when she's trying to feed or get the kids into bed! Luckily we live too far for him to just turn up!

My FIL let himself in once at 7:30 (he rang the doorbell and then came straight in). I was stood at the top of the stairs completely starkers. He always waits a bit now but I wish he would let us answer the door if he knows we're in instead of using the key. It's so annoying!

(My family always wait to be let in but only because they can never find the key...)

Arable, although putting him through a bunning spreader is an option. 💅🏻

Set the puppies on him op. Death by puppy licking.

Boatmistress17 · 08/09/2017 11:29

OK so you aren't a troll!!
Gorgeous puppy!!

CleopatraCatLover · 08/09/2017 12:47

Aaahhhh, adorable Smile (the puppy obvs, not FIL, who needs culling)

Frillyhorseyknickers · 08/09/2017 14:34

The puppies are gorgeous. If I wasn't about to give birth, I would definitely keep more than one. 😬

PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!

Anniegetyourgun · 08/09/2017 14:39

I WANT THAT PUPPY

RebeccaWrongDaily · 08/09/2017 15:08

HOW MANY BABYDOGS YOU GOT IN TOTAL?

MrsTerryPratchett · 08/09/2017 15:13

Is it so hard to post a picture of a pile of puppies, not just one. If you can mop a floor at 7am you can manage that

A big pile of puppies. Preferably asleep. Or yawning.

And make FIL into dog food. Organic, free-range puppy chow.

sparechange · 08/09/2017 16:59

mrsT
I agree
I'm calling GF/Troll/PBP until we get a pile of puppies

redsquirrel2 · 09/09/2017 00:21

7 o fucking clock and off back to which you can fuck OP you are a comedy genius. Are you Mrs Malcolm Tucker? Next time, tell FIL to fuck the fuck off!

DeadDoorpost · 09/09/2017 00:42

PUPPY 😍😍 was feeling down but now I'm not he is adorable

kateandme · 09/09/2017 07:46

puppies for sale? oh how adorable.
the best bit is when the farmers comes in demanding/expecting breakfast to be cooked by those "just bloody standing around the kitchen talking whilst we work"! oh my.

LloydColeandtheCoconuts · 09/09/2017 08:20

I want a puppy!
