Sons girlfriends comments

262 replies

OnPurpleHill · 26/12/2022 14:02

My children have came back from the cities they live for Christmas/New Year as they always do. However my sons girlfriend who lives with us, as they’re saving up for a house, keeps making comments about how busy the house is and how she can’t wait till after new year till things are quiet again.

In her defence she’s saying these comments in a joking sort of way, however I’m absolutely furious. Firstly, I don’t get to see my children that often and I cherish Christmas so much more since they’ve moved out and come back for the holidays I don’t like the idea that they’re an inconvenience.

Secondly, it’s not even her house, if anyone doesn’t have a claim to this house it’s her. AIBU?

who is behaving like that? Op??

should be booting her family out to accommodate the sensitivities of her sons gf?

Would that guarantee she won’t be left in a shitty nursing home?

On reflection maybe not…maybe if she moves out and gifts sons gf her house then she may deserve to be given the time of day in her old age. Maybe.

Oh don't be so ridiculous.
Op very clearly has issues with Dil, read between the lines.
You don't have to employ all the hyperbole. It really is as simple as you reap what you see. You don't have to martyr yourself but being 'furious' at such a benign remark is rather telling.

The girl isn't demanding anything or trying to control anything.
She merley made comment.

@MarysGirlChildWasLate4ChristmasDay

maybe op’s issue is a grown adult woman - who is living in her house rent free - making dissatisfied comments.
you are the one prone to a bit of hyperbole too if you look back at your posts

Nice use of premium for a bit of stalking eh?
She made a very mild comment. Your outrage bar is very low.

lol, Op has done a runner again! 🤣🤣 only 2 posts & 11 pages of replies

I know how you feel. Mine lived with me for a time before and after they got married. She did not help in the house. Unfortunately though I've tried to be a good MiL I haven’t seen her for a few years. My son comes with the little one. I obviously don't get invited to their house. Be careful what you say to her. Things change after the ring is on the finger.

Your children have come home for Christmas from the cities where they live...but your son?and his g/f live with you year round. So he wasn't one of the children who came home for Christmas?
I wish people would type sensible posts.

You are the only poster who has struggled to get their head around the scenario

The problem isn’t the OP not typing a “sensible post”

The problem is…. You not being able to grasp very simply and straightforward posts!! 😂 @LoisLane66

That's just begging for the comment "sounds like you're moving out in the new year then."

Neat - love it !
