I'm your Mil ask me anything

[Milfromhades]

I don't think iabu to rearrange your knicker drawer, just being helpful! Any questions on how to be a good mummy or what amount of sugar is appropriate for a 2 year old?

Just to add I'm afraid none of my friends liked the look of your for their ds either, but not to worry, I've now signed you up for one of those online dating sites.

I believe FiL does have earplugs 😂 and he does not and smile a lot...

This is a great thread.

Former, now-deceased, MIL: will you forgive me for not being good enough for your son? I know we had a fraught relationship whilst your son and I were married but after we divorced and the dust settled I see that you were not the horrible person I thought you were. Not that you were perfect; but neither was I.

I can't say this to you in person because you died a number of years ago.

Thank you.

Why do you phone me to tell me all about Katie and Emma, from the house you clean for, and not bother to ask about your own grandchildren? Why do you change the subject back to how well Katie is doing at school and how good she is at art when i try and tell you what your own granddaughter is doing? Why do I keep expecting anything different from you?

MIL, I see you have resurrected your thread - this is soooo like you, never wanting to let a point drop...

Why did you think ‘when am I getting some granddaughters?’ An acceptable reaction to our pregnancy (of son) announcement shortly after having a stillborn daughter?

Why did you write an email to my husband begging him not to marry me when I was 6 months pregnant with his child on the day of our wedding?

Why do you ignore any time I reach out to you (despite the fact you’ve been an utter cunt to me) and continue to keep this weird distance with your own grandchildren?

Why don’t you give your son any love, or time, or affection despite him being such a lovely guy?

Why can't you hide your favouritism? It's nasty and divisive.

Greetings from the underworld former DiL. Just be aware I am still watching over you and don't scimp on bleaching your smalls. If you hear a disapproving sniff that means your nets could do with a good wash.

Katie and Emma's mummy is so understanding and polite and she gets the most lovely biscuits in especially for me! What a wee gem.

Katie and Emma's mummy appreciates my thread

I like to foster a competitive spirit amongst my grandchildren it makes them work harder to please me and toughens them up. Also sometimes creates amusing drama nearly as good as my soaps.

Why did you write an email to my husband begging him not to marry me when I was 6 months pregnant with his child on the day of our wedding?

I thought a letter might not get there in time.

Why did you hate me on sight and tell my now ex I was a religious freak always running off to pray (totally untrue btw!) yet when I finally cracked and told you to FOAD I immediately became your best buddy?

Right now my DH and 2 DC are at your home. Please don't give them loads of cheap tat as 'presents' to bring back.

Why do you tell people I know vaguely my personal business, despite DH asking you not to?

Well it may be because I admire your sassy spirit or I may be trying to lull you into a false sense of security before I strike. Only time will tell.

Too late!

Are you still alive? I thought you'd done the honourable thing.

You may only know them vaguely, but they know all about you! And they like to stay up to date with your news so it would be wrong of me to disappoint them.

The tough will survive. After the apocalypse it will be mainly rats, cockroaches and Mils.

As a fellow MiL, I have to say you’re a class act. Following this thread for tips.

I would like to know why you always prioritize the eldest grandaughter over her sister, you gave her a deposit for her house and paid for her wedding and you moan she never visits you anymore while her sister visits you everytime she is able to. Also do you realise that you have got three more grandchildren who see you at xmas and once or twice the rest of the year. You made a huge song and dance about having the birth certificates so you could open them accounts but when given three accounts that were already set up you have never used them. I know this as I get the statements from them.

Why do you sit and read the Daily Mail instead of interacting with your grandchildren when you visit? Why do you insist on reading bits out to me despite my telling you how abhorrent I find the paper? Why do you always leave it here so it contaminates my recycling!

This is very therapeutic OP!

Your DiL will be pleased.
