Cant believe 1st post on MN is an AIBU but here we go.

Me and DP fell out with MIL last week which is a regular occurance. I asked her to return travel cot as need to put DD2 in it has DD1 still in cot and DD2 now getting to bid for moses basket. Of course she couldnt be bothered to send it herself so sent my lovely SIL and partner over with it. DP went out to collect travel cot and argument broke out which ended in him calling SIL a bitch and her fiance attacking him (trying to throw him down stairs, strangle him and finally throwing him on ground breaking two of his ribs). DP phoned MIL straight away who immediately said it must have been DP's fault and to grow up. The police were phoned but told us we could not press charges as SIL and partner claim DP threw 1st punch. After police been MIL starts sending me texts going on about how it was all my fault (I was indoors throughtout whole argument and attack) and now claims that she will have our children as we are poor parents. Now she's sending texts about grandparents rights. Surely she cannot just expect to see my children after taken the side of that pyscho over her own son!!! I am so (angry) but have no idea how to get own back without getting arrested!!!

Incidentally the orginal argument with her started cos she texted DP to tell him she is ashamed of him as he is going to be a stay at home dad as of July whilst I work.

Sorry for the long rant but just needed to get it off chest as thought I might combust. Please can some1 tell me they have a MIL that is worse than mine as it would make me fell a lot better.

allgonebellyup · 25/06/2007 14:06

Why did they all have a fight over a cot anyway? Who actually punches someone in the street, unless v v drunk or basically with IQ under 90 ?

Tutter · 25/06/2007 14:07

load of bolleaux

far too much mn lingo for this not to be a regular

mytwopenceworth · 25/06/2007 14:07

Or maybe she's on the phone to jeremy Kyle!!

Seriously, I was all up for posting actual advice for her after I read her opener. Then I read on and thought, ooooooooo get her!!

cornsilk · 25/06/2007 14:08

Why did the MIL have the cot anyway? And why was it her responsibility to return it?

paulaplumpbottom · 25/06/2007 14:10

OrmIrian · 25/06/2007 14:10

OrmIrian · 25/06/2007 14:16

Because I couldn't be bothered to type mytwopenceworth.....and then I got the abbreviation wrong..

muppetgirl · 25/06/2007 14:19

I think the abbreviated names are acronyms
God help you all.

Did custy not have a mn "stalker" a while back? A bit suspicious after the nasty thread of the other day imo.

elesbells · 25/06/2007 14:36

BreeVanDerCamp · 25/06/2007 18:10

I am laughing my head off here.

Custy gives some advice the last line of which made me snort. I posted a reply for Custy that she made me snort and now we are accused of being snotty cows.

Chavtastic....totally chavtastic.

MrsFish · 25/06/2007 18:15
