Re: The in laws

LOL Scoobs.... I admire your perseverance and principles.

We had the exact same problem with my own mother. My OH nearly left it got so bad.

All the same sort of things...criticizing my housework, moaning that dish drying cloths were used for lifting hot dishes (???), mattresses were too hard, that we waste food, that we have the heating on, sitting on sofa for much of day in dressing gown reading property mags and demanding attention, drinking too much and getting accusatory and hostile, criticizing my daughter and insinuating that her mild bad behaviour is a full blown psychological complaint caused by my parenting, bitching about every other family member, then being pseudo friendly to them in person, making faces when my partner spoke and saying (to his face) that the jury was still out on him, overfeeding and spoiling the dog, turning the cat into a spoilt monster through lavish cuddling, (ahhh and she couldn't get up off sofa for fear of disturbing cat), drinking too much and getting maudlin about the past, filling my kitchen with weird alternative remedies and formulas, juicing anything that moved and following crack new diets.....then drinking too much!, criticizing my home furnishings then going out and buying various RED items to 'brighten' up the (tasteful neutral) decor....then giving me the bill.

ooops sorry..was that a rant I fell into!

Been there hun....mucho sympathy...be strong.

Do you smoke?? If you don't now would be a good time to start! Well it's that or voddy!

Re: The in laws

Hi thanks for support -I am holding up well and feel better for getting it out of my system. Back to work tomorrow for a rest - and have decided may leave an anne summers outfit in a strategic place as I know snooping will occur when I am out of the house

Re: The in laws

Ok Ok I was joking guys, I love my mum dearly and seriously would be mortified if anything happened to her. That last remark was done tongue in cheek and was trying to lighten things.

Re: The in laws

Hi

things have calmed down a lot now - one week today and now they are settling in to our way of doing things.

To get away with only one or two major rows has been a miracle really - and I know at the end we will all be sorted - I will disagree strongly with them - they wont change their minds - and we will all learn to accept that. Its always the first few days that are the worst.

Back to loads of work - so more important things to worry about.
