re: Dumb shite your MIL or future MIL has done

This whole surprise engagement thing with video is just dumb as shite and yet another way to part fools from their money..

Waiting for the 'Dear Penthouse' post

That's "you're dead to me" status.

I asked her Dad for permission to marry her, I guess he told the MIL what I had asked. MIL told my wife I was going to ask her to marry me.

Mine thinks that the beach is the only appropriate place to go on vacation, so when we got married and picked Highlands, NC for our honeymoon, she started a sniveling little mealy-mouthing campaign about was that where we really wanted to go and was I dictating things to her and making her go there against her wishes.

She's a fanatical Trump supporter. Has her car covered in Trump stickers and quit shopping on Amazon because he said so. When I told her that, regardless of politics, he was a ripe a-hole, she wouldn't talk to me for a month, so I try to remind her that he's an a-hole at least once a month.

I don't share a worldview with mine. I mean, we are completely opposite in our views on everything from politics to religion to how children should be raised. I try my best to avoid confrontation, but every once in a while it is inevitable.

When my oldest was three, our neighbor gave us their outgrown "My First Trampoline." It didn't have the padding or the net, but she could jump on it. She loved it. One day grandma came over and of course my daughter wanted to show her that she could jump.

My MIL started going off on us for letting her jump on a trampoline without proper safety. "She's going to get hurt. I can't believe y'all would do this." Both my wife and I blew her off. Well that offended her. So she stood right at the edge of the trampoline and held her hands out for my daughter to jump to her.

My daughter jumped, my MIL pulled away and my daughter hit the ground. I saw it, my wife didn't. We are focused on the blood gushing from my daughters face and my MIL says "See, I told you so." I let her have it. We ended up in the ER getting stitches over this. That was 8 years ago and I'm still pissed about it.

My MIL never used to be like this, but I've notice it as she's gotten older. She just says off the wall shite all the time that she holds as objective truths that are usually outlandish opinions. It's like she knows what she is saying is wrong, but she digs herself too deep and is too passionate about her stance. shite drives me crazy.

Gets too drunk and says inappropriate things all the time. Over dramatic and attention needy.


In one word: irritating

Damn man. I’m sorry.

Tell her to pay for the honeymoon and it’ll be all good.

She's late for everything. Literally everything
