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?

Why did you tell me exactly how other your other grandchildren are (birthdays mentioned) and then ask how old my daughter was for the second time in two days?

I thought you were getting a bit above yourself to be honest, dont worry I did buy dd a massive bag of plastic tat birthday presents from Nanny.

Why do you keep promising to buy things and then "forgetting"? The DGC are at an age where they are oblivious but I find empty promises irritating. Just don't offer in the first place.

Ps. Loving this thread. I am getting a great insight into your mind MIL.

Dearie me, children are so over indulged these days, when I was a girl just the promise of a nice treat was quite enough.
Still I do take your point so in future maybe it would be best if you could buy the items mentioned and keep them in reserve just in case I do forget. But be aware I shall consider it very rude and ungrateful if I have bought them at some time convenient to myself only to find out you have already given the reserve items. HtH

Why do you leave a massive unflushed turd in my toilet every time you visit, just before you drive off? Why do you drive drunk?

Just a little leaving present for you. As for the driving I did offer to stay the night once but you didnt seem very keen on the idea. So inhospitable.

Oh AND ANOTHER THING... why do you always criticise my parenting and housekeeping and constantly tell me how you cook better for your son even though you don’t believe sell by dates are real and are a ‘government conspiracy to get us to spend more money’ why are you so tight in general? Why won’t you even buy a carton of milk full price yet you constantly tell us how much you have in the bank? Why do you idolise Theresa May? Why did you tell me that gay people should just be happy with what they’ve got ‘non of this getting married nonsense’ and that my gay brother will just grow out of it?

Love this thread! Extremely therapeutic thanks OP Grin

crispysausagerolls · 01/07/2018 09:54

MIL why did you just not show up on our wedding day?

RayneDance · 01/07/2018 09:56

Dear Mil how can you be such a germ fascist all the time, grinding everyone down with the this incessant obsession which you presents morals superiority.

But.. Then slobber all over a shared ice cream with my small dd. Literally sharing your germ ridden slavia with her. Can you explain your dissonance over shoes off in your house due to dirt. But ok with direct bacteria passing through shared licking.

Yawnyprawn · 01/07/2018 10:21

Why do you take endless photos of SiL and yourself with my baby, then put the camera away when I appear?

RayneDance · 01/07/2018 10:23

Yawny that is disgraceful.

Shockers · 01/07/2018 10:23

Why won’t you come and live closer to us? We’d love you to be here and we could help out so much more. You are so isolated where you are, especially now you’re unsteady on your feet.

Yawnyprawn · 01/07/2018 10:27

@RayneDance disgraceful that she does it or disgraceful that it bothers me?

Milfromhades · 01/07/2018 11:14

This was before I found out what a fabulous wedding your DB has planned- and also I will be able to wear a long white dress to it without all the complaints we had at your little do.

I think you'll find my cleaning standards are perfectly normal, don't most people use a bottle of bleach every week? While you seem rather unhealthily focused on germs. Don't you know mothers used to chew food up for their babies pre food processors, this is much the same thing.

I'd like to ask you everything, you tragically died when my husband was 8.

I just want to tell you your son is the best human being I've ever met. His dad did a great job of raising him.

I wish I could meet you and you could see your grandkids.

Milfromhades · 01/07/2018 11:27

Most of my DiLs seem to feel that way but I like my independence.

I know you blame me for your Son going NC with you. Can you not just realise that the day he became a Daddy to the children you will never see, he realised what it is to love your child and he realised you never gave him that love? (This actually became a traumatic time for him when he realised)
Also, he is a completely different man now, one who is not scared of giving an opinion! He is a wonderful Daddy, only because he tries so hard not to be you!

RayneDance · 01/07/2018 13:12

Yawny prawn.

Of course, disgraceful that she does not this, it's horrid!! Really nasty. As if literally your the birthing cow.

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 01/07/2018 13:16

What time shall we arrive?
Oh I dont know, about 2ish. Did I tell you about my hotter shoes

Iwantamarshmallow · 01/07/2018 13:22

Why do u hate me ?

Dearie me I haven't got over the shock of finding out what you did in my bed!
Still hotter shoes are very nice. They're quite dear so I save up for them by buying all your birthday and Christmas gifts off the sale rail in the charity shop.
