To think my MIL is rude

[MrsMumm]

Hiya, so I have recently come to the conclusion that my MIL is very rude. This is due to the fact that she ruined Christmas last year by dropping the turkey and blaming it on me. Then in March, it was my birthday, which she claimed to forget, and didn't turn up to the event. I was clearly upset that my husbands mother basically didn't give a damn about me. Now the latest event has put the nail in the coffin. My father in law, who she divorced about 2 years ago, recently had a heart attack while she was on holiday. She found out about it and was very upset on the phone, or so we thought. The next day she rang saying she had extended her holiday a further two weeks. My HIL was livid. How could a woman he's been with for 50 years turn her back on him like that. What should I do?

Deffo fowl play

Turkey gets dropped you take off the bits that hit the floor, cut up the rest, serve it and get on with it.... It's usually a bloody big bird... how does it ruin Christmas??

MIL is a 74 year old remainer

Well she’s doing something right then.

This! ☝🏻

They're divorced and their children are adults. They have no obligation or need to see each other at all.

They're also imaginary.

Good to see that nobody actually believes this tripe!

@NoSauce I would have believed it, but sadly the tripe was irrevocably ruined when it was dropped from a 23rd storey window by my next door neighbour's 83-year-old mobile remainer great-aunt. Does anyone have a spare?

Is a spare Christmas Turkey like a stunt pineapple only imaginary?

op sounds half pissed !

This should be moved to Classics

Just IMAGINE being so unaware of the 3 second rule that you bin an entire cooked turkey, do a CF ask of your loaded mates if you can use THEIR spare turkey, and then make the whole family wait til tomorrow for Spare Turkey and Reheated veg and stuffing and chipolatas and everything.

@MrsMumm

was told that dh means darling husband. Don't know any others

come on mrsmumm this is a crock of crap isn't it ? might as well admit it, we worked it out ages ago. still it's been good for a laugh.

Wonder should I double buy everything this Christmas in case of such a nearby emergency? Of course, being a good neighbour, I'd want to provide it fully cooked. That means a new , bigger oven. But it's worth it to be prepared.

I would have just picked the turkey up off the floor and carried on eating it.

Hm, should have realized it was a hoax. Sounds very like the duck scene in Oliver Stone's movie about The Doors ...

the duck scene maybe that's what really ruined christmas - the ensuing punch up and lopping turkey pieces at mil

What’s mobile for 74? Most 74 year olds can walk.

Oh dear, what an appalling attempt at trolling. 1/10. Don’t you have homework or revision to be doing?

Trolls these days just don’t put any effort in, you used to get a better class of troll. Sigh.

Where you all went wrong is when you formed a chain of turkey tossers from kitchen to dining room. With that sort of caper, you need to make sure you've got everyone wearing oven gloves, including MIL.

Why were you making a 74 yr old Remainer lift a turkey?

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Visions of this

Turkey’s not even a member of the EU.
