Mother in laws & holidays.

[highfihoney]

Does anybody have a nice mother in law,mines an a-hole through & through,i cant stand the sight of her with her giant hairdoo covering her enormous melon head,from the time she arrives her big ole rubbery lips never stop flappin,usually about some BS that ive done that she dont agree with.

We have a non spoken agreement,we avoid each other at all costs,when she visits i split,when i come home from work she goes out the front while im comming in the back,its flawless until the holidays,then we have to see each other

In our last house she never went upstairs & saw my gear collection or any of my other goodies but my wife "not thinking" gave her a tour of our new house tonight & included the spare bedroom,thats all she needed to start in,amazingly enough it wasnt about the gear,she started in on my pop collection,i collect vintage soda pop bottles (full containers only) & its a pretty cheap hobby compared to audio,she has done her best all day long to p!ss me off & antagonize me about that stupid pop collection.

She's still here eating her way into a heart attack,with her big size 10 gnarly old crusty feets propped up on my table "insert heavy vomiting here",i havent wanted a drink of booze in over a year but i feel like geting roasted after dealing with her all day,i cant wait for my son to leave with his girlfriend then we'll be all alone,im letting her have it with both barrels as soon as my son & his girlfriend leave.

I cant wait.

Hows your mother in law??

Mine lives in another country and I have not had the pleasure of seeing her in 3yrs. I feel for you and I'll have that drink for you.

Thats pretty funny. My Mother in law is pretty sweet and would do anything for me so I guess I am lucky. I heard a joke about the guy who got 3 wishes but the Genie said what ever you wish for your mother in law will get twice as much. His first wish was for a million dollars and the genie say's granted but your mother in law gets 2 million,he say's OK. His second wish was for a house with 30 rooms, the genie say's granted but she will get a house with 60,he say's OK. He then say's for my third wish I would like to be beaten half to death.........................Happy Thansgiving.

mine's great ... but I don't want to push you to strangle her

why don't you try a different tactic this year: butter her up. she'll be wondering if you had added something to what she just ate.

LMAO!! I go from reading Tomorrow's thread to this one and all I can say is, "I love this forum". Anyway's mine has passed away and thanklfully now I spend turkey dinner only with my family. Just kidding, I miss her! She was always the brunt of the jokes and never dished it out.

I have a step-mom that for some reason pisses me off to no end. It can't be on the same level as a mother-in-law though.

My step-mother thinks she knows everything and argues about everything. One time we were talking about knives and swords and where the best steel comes from. She said that the best swords in the world came from Europe in countries like Germany. And I said "I don't think so, I think that Japanese sword making is far more advanced". She goes "I know the swords from Europe are better, because some of them cost hundreds of dollars".

Yep, apparently a few hundred bucks will get you the best sword out there.

errr, authentic japanese swords today are upwards of 20,000 USD

Yes, I know. That is why it annoyed me that she was being such "know it all" about it.

I've got a great mother in law. I've got nothing to complain about.

Leave it to you.

 

[Davemcc]

Leave it to you.

This sweet package of a wife that I found had to come from somewhere.

 

[Audioholics]

I love my mother-in-law. I really lucked out. Plus she still looks pretty good at ~60, which means my wife's got some good genes in her.

 

[stratman]

I never met mine, she passed away when my wife was very young, but my father in law is a great guy, fun to hang around with, loves HT but can't tell the difference between DLP, LCD and plasma.

 

[Buckeye_Nut]

My MIL was always a sweet old lady but she has since passed away. We always got along great.....

She was 50 when my wife was born My wife was an accident..LOL

My wife has 5 sisters, and the youngest is 11 years her senior and the oldest is nearly my mothers age. My MIL was 2 years older than my grandmother!! I never had the opportunity to meet my FIL because he passed in 1982. (I met my wife in '88)

 

[Davemcc]

My wife was an accident..LOL

You were looking over your shoulder when you typed that, weren't you?

 

[Buckeye_Nut]

Naw.... I think my wife has grown fond of being the family accident.

HeHeHe

He'd better have been

My mother-in-law was a wonderful lady. She's been gone for quite a few years now. She was always fun to have around on holidays. The best thing was my mother-in-law would always take my side of the arguments with the wife.

I miss her but I'm glad I got to spend some good years with her around.

There are many things in this world to be thankful for...and things that aren't so thank-producing. My MIL belonged to the latter group. She died several years ago, and now I rest in peace! I grok your pain, HFH.

My mother in law was okay. We just came from two different worlds = nothing in common.

As a kid my wife played piano, so did I.

While Courting my wife, the second or third date it was time to meet the parents. Awkard conversation with her parents, the piano was in the livingroom. So I played something badly on the piano. The future inlaws where impressed I expalined about the guitar thing They had no clue My mother in law, loved to hear me finger pick stuff on the guitar, couldn't get enough of it, worked for years, Bragged about it to her friends, etc. I was in good.

Fast forward 10 years.

One time the inlaws "popped" over here to visit. My buddies and I were in the (acoustically insulated) garage. Full drum kit, bass guitar, and my guitar with the 100 watt Marshall Stack) with the doors closed.

I'll never forget this.... We were playing Creams version "Cross Roads". The SPL levels were at sheetrock crushing levels; everything was "DIMED".

My Mother in law never took no for an answer, she knocked, no response (we didn't hear her) so she "Barged" into the garage to set me straight.

OMG.... The shear look of Horror that woman had..... The freaking terror level in that woman, as the sound hit her in the chest like a 10 pound sledge. Her face was sooooooooooooooooooo white.

The music thing oddly never came up again. We talked about the weather alot after that day.
