At the worst possible time, the script-written inevitable happened. Lover of driving after a few FIL hit a crash rail on the UWS HW and was rear-ended by the driver behind. His car is a wreck.

Both him and MIL are okay. A few cracked ribs, whip lash, shock etc.
They were driving home after sitting Shiva with a few gins. All FILs fault. DH is still in shiva : I'm not Jewish so I tend to just help with food and stuff. Get a call around 10.30pm to ask for help at the hospital. When I arrived I was told, "anybody but you, you're just so judgy.

No other family members showed up to help. That was 3 hours ago.

Personally I would calmly inform them that the next time you or your children will see them is when you're dancing on their grave.

Then stick to your word.

Revolting people.

Well, yes, hooray for Mr Mixxy, but Mrs Mixxy was pretty impressive herself!

She went to help her evil PILs as Mr Mixxy had to be somewhere else. She supported her DH by going to his batshit crazy parents, to allow him to do what he felt necessary to grieve for his friend.

So Flowers to you as well, Mixxy!

I think I may be in love with Mr Mixxy too!! Well done that man.

claudedebussy · 04/08/2013 10:32

can't believe how awful your pil are but by god, you married the right man!

inneedofrain · 04/08/2013 11:04

Yah for mr mixxy

He sounds like a fab man are you sure he is related to pi l? He seems to be very different to them.

RibenaFiend · 04/08/2013 11:39

Mr Mixxy is clearly amazing I may now also be a little in love with him

Mixxy I'm so sorry your toxic MIL has behaved in such a vile, self serving and downright nasty way. You went out of your way to help them and they were nasty from the off.

You clearly have an amazing Mr Mixxy. Don't see the toxic PIL again and plan a dance for their graves.

IloveJudgeJudy · 04/08/2013 12:05

Mr Mixxy is definitely absolutely amazing. Poor him, and you, for having such toxic parents/PIL. They are so ungrateful. I cannot believe what MIL said about your lovely 5 mo.

What a shame that FIL can "get away" with drink-driving. I am absolutely against it. I have refused to get in a car once with someone who wanted to drink-drive. It was a family member and luckily we do still talk. They realised they were in the wrong. I have never again had to make that decision as no one else I have ever got in a car with has ever been drinking if they've been the driver.

I really hope that he will be stopped from driving, but it may not be the case.

The wonderful Mr Mixxy.

SlimePrincess · 04/08/2013 12:38

Mr Mixxy is one righteous dude! You rock Mr and Mrs Mixxy.

beginnings · 04/08/2013 14:17

Well done Mr Mixxy. What a wonderful man. Sympathies on the loss of his friend.

SalvatoreGirl · 04/08/2013 14:55

Way to go Mr Mixxy ! I hope the PIL realise what they've done and that they may lose contact with your family if they are too pig headed to apologise.

Yep pray for no apology although I doubt you will need to call on the Lord for this one...

Mixxy · 04/08/2013 18:01

I want the apology, but I can't accept it until I calm down. Me and DS are heading off to our summer rental. Mr. Mixxy will join us after the funeral. I'll only be back in the city for one day in the next 3 weeks. (DS is getting a little helmet for his flat head). If MIL can choke down an apology I'm will have them at ours for Thanksgiving. And my parents will be over for that. Believe me, my mother is one powerful force to mess with!

good god. I withdraw my previous post about being the bigger person. you don't need these people in your lives, and your DC will be better off without such toxic relatives. Disengage.

Ponders · 04/08/2013 22:05

Mixxy, I was wondering if this is a classic Jewish mother thing ("my son the doctor" etc) or if your MIL is just a toxic cow?

Either way your DH is a mensch Grin

PaleHousewifeOfCumbriaCounty · 06/08/2013 13:28

What a legend mr mixxy is!

hermioneweasley · 06/08/2013 21:57

Farking hell, it woukd have to be some apology to make her welcome in my house again! It would have to feature crawling over broken glass or similar!
