Is it too early to start a 'AIBU to kill my MiL because.....' christmas thread

[whomovedmychocolate]

If I hear one more time 'I'm so sad that you are going to leave me' (to go to prearranged christmas dinner with MY parents when she has decided to come uninvited to our house for three days) I may actually lace her turkey with senna.

However this may not be necessary as DH has gone down with norovirus so he may give his mother a loving gift of the season.

We're not leaving you, you're leaving us (to go back to your own house you gatecrashing irritant)

Surely you can take her?? Your parents would not mind??

How much turkey can one MIL eat??

Maybe she can look after your dh, get her son back to herself for a few hours and you get some much earned hours away.

Is she going to be on her own?

Yes, why on earth don't you take her with you???

I'm hacked off with mine as she invited her and fil on boxing day for tea. I've not really got anything planned to eat then as we're going to my mums for roast beef. I have shit loads of cheese but she doesn't like cheese.

Noooo don't take her, that's what the passive agressive old boot wants. She has it all worked out, that if she just arrives and sits about the place looking sad, you will take her with you, regardless of the fact she isn't invited. Leave her home alone with a sarnie dry bread and water and go without a qualm!

Mine keeps disagreeing with everything I say, just to be obstreperous.

well, i don't know if there is back-story or anything like, but I would take her.
it IS christmas, and I am presuming she is with you as she has no husband/other family to be with?
It does seem quite mean not to take her with you.

My MIL came for christmas eve tea and church and dragged two huge sacks of gifts for my girls and wanted the to open them tonight?! I mean they are under 6 yo!
Anyway she was making such a fuss as me and DH said its not right for them to open them tonight, I have said shes welcome to come over in the morning before going to BIL for her christmas day.

why cant you say no to MILs ? take her with you to your mums so she cant moan

Urgh mils, the curse of the festive season. I will probably be one myself one day but I will try not to be as annoying as mine is.
Why do they always seem intent on taking over?

Oh my parents invited her (via me) but frankly I don't WANT her to come because she's moany and will then spend all day saying 'gosh isn't your parents house small' and 'of course I get to see so much more of the DGC than you do' (to my parents).

She sat all day reading the Daily Fail and complaining about the state of the country apparently. DH did enjoy himself

Right, time to put on the fake bon homie. Had to make the kids go and get her up because they had been waiting an hour to open their presents

Ho ho ho.
