To think she's batshit?!

[Ohnospaghettioh]

Mil refuses to come on days out with me and my children, including refusing to come to his birthday meal because she says she's not well and it would be too much for her. She recently refused my invitation to come along to Santa's grotto with us as it would be too much to wait in a queue.
Then yesterday she sent me a message and some professional photos to show that she had taken her PARROT to see Santa at a grotto! She had actually gone to a kids Christmas grotto and paid for her parrot to meet Santa and sit on his shoulder, and then paid for the photos aibu to want to make this bird into a pie so she spends time with my kids instead?!

Stop inviting her. Invite the parrot.

Photo or it didn’t happen

😂😂😂

Brilliant!

I think your MIL is avian you on.

Parrots are quite clever. It probably enjoyed the outing.

This is why I love forums.

She's not batshit, she's birdshit.

What? Have I stepped into a parallel universe? 🤪

This is the content I'm here for.

Maybe it was pining for the fjords and she wanted to cheer it up

This needs to go in classics

Oh please tell me you're kidding.

Let's see the photo OP

I really want to see the pic of the parrot visiting santa!

Our shopping centre has just had its annual bring your dog to see santa day last Sunday. Not sure if the local owl man went or not!

Nutty as a Christmas fruitcake 😆

I would love to see a photo

This needs to go in classics

Why? It's genuinely not that funny.

It’s not that funny. Are you joking? The OP’s MIL couldn’t be arsed to take her DGC to see Santa BUT TOOK HER PARROT.

hilarious love this

Where's the OP?

Best post I've ever read! Yes, she is mental.

I'd love to see the photos of parrot on Santa's shoulder.

This. Is. Amazing.

Absolutely howling here jesus the poor woman is indeed batshit.
Or she very passive aggressive stop inviting her OP she clearly not interested.
As a person who hates birds I would have lost it if I had to queue with her poor Santa 🎅
