We are going to stay with DP's sister tomorrow. MIL gets wind of this tonight and dosen't think it's 'appropriate'. 'oh, I don't think thats right' blah blah blah. Then an hour or so later, a text asking how long we are staying for, then one to remind us how poorly off SIL's family is (never any concern for our finances which are diabolical to put it mildly, and we were intending to take them shopping anyhow ). She's not even in the country. DS hasn't even met his cousin yet, let alone his aunty and various other members of he family. She has stopped us going to stay every time so far, and now she hasn't got as much of a hold on it as normal. DP wanted to stay on down there untill she was back from hols, as a surprise. But I really get the feeling she wouldn't be happy about it.

There rant over. Sorry everyone. It's that bloody broken record again ain't it?

She's mental, isn't she, Flossam?!

How are you? You said you were being evicted on another thread?

mummytosteven · 26/09/2005 21:39

oh god she sounds like the control freak from hell.

hope it goes well with DP's sister, and that you soon find suitable accommodation.

hunkermunker · 26/09/2005 21:40

What does your SIL say? I take it you didn't force her to have you stay?!

yingers74 · 26/09/2005 21:41

As long as your DP's sister is happy to have you, i would ignore your MIL and just don't read her texts. She can moan about it when she gets back but it will be too late. Good luck!

God...another MIL who needs stringing up!

you have my sympathy.

aloha · 26/09/2005 22:07

Ignore her! Of course! What else could you do. She's mad. Don't reply. It's none of her business. You are grown ups.

Flossam · 27/09/2005 08:36

HM, yes I was evicted, from the computer! DP has been trying to learn lots of stuff for his interview tomorrow (fingers crossed for us everyone please!!)

And it was SIL's suggestion to go and stay there, and is suggesting we stay longer than we planned to, so I don't think we are forcing the issue, no .

Silly old bat isn't she?

How are you HM btw? Hope all pregnancy things are going well xx

Oh, Aloha, I was suggesting very strongly that we did ignore her. However, DP didn't want to be 'rude'. IMO she is being!

She's shockingly rude IMO, but she is his mother I suppose. Sigh.

hunkermunker · 27/09/2005 18:52

Fingers well and truly crossed, Flossam!

Your MIL is totally mental - what does DP think about her telling you not to impose on his sister?

Pregnancy going well - am 25 weeks already! Very wriggly baby - DS pats "our baby" and says "ahh" already, so fingers crossed... He was very interested in two other babies we saw today too - in a sweet way

Flossam, do you know I went and did a search on you after I spotted the evicted comment on the other thread...thank goodness you are OK.
Nothing helpful to contribute on the subject of the mad MIL I'm afraid
