to want to insert my FIL's head up the arse of the chicken I have been stuffing since 9am this morning?

[filthymindedvixen]

The parent-in-laws are supposed to be coming for lunch on their way back from a week's holiday. I have been working all week, so spent last night getting the house up to MIL standards...

I have been up since8am making a lovely lunch ,as we don't often see them and making a beautiful cake.

They have just rung to say ''Father-in-law is feeling a bit coldy so we're just bobbing in for a cuppa, please don't go to any bother, we won't be staying for lunch...''

Mind you, FIL's head is too fat to fit up arse of a chicken. It would require excessive force, mmmwah ha ha.

How v annoying.

Oh well, on the bright side you can enjoy your lovely clean house and cake and lunch in peace with no IL's once they've gone, silver linings and all that...?

ooh yes , ILs are like crabsticks, they start to smell pretty fast. Have a lovely day to yourselves

I have to say if it were me I would be overjoyed to have yummy lunch and cake without them

could you not summon up required excessive force - think you ought to try???

have a nice dinner!

and no of course you arent being unreasonable - this is a brilliant thread title!

BIL does this kind of thing from time to time. Phones up the day before long-arranged meetings and 'downsizes' them because he doesn't want to be any bother.

He genuinely thinks he's being kind!

So they're just poppoing in for long enough to leave FILs coldy germs, and then buggering off without eating the lunch? Pah!

Not unreasonable.

Not at all unreasonable - but as they are PIL , why isn't DH/DP doing the preparation work? Perhaps he should stuff the chicken

I would be pleased, but I would also make sure they see all the hard work you have put in when they "bob" in for their cuppa

well, we invited friends over to help eat the mountain of food - and had a lovely day in the end...
dh wasn't rushing around doing all the prep because he doesn't understand that our house is a slum and we will be judged!
(PIL is not dh's father, and all his kids live in huge posh houses and are not scruffy underacheiving slackers like dh and I )

har!

Must be a big chicken - you've been stuffing if for hours

o

glad you had a good day
