I am scared!!
 

So after 5 year search my MIL finally purchased a house....one mile from mine. She is getting off the farm for a better quality of living for retirement. Kaden is really excited to have gmp and gpa so close but me....meh. I liked having a 2 hour bumper from family.

Its a good deal really but just in case I have been digging a moat and working with pig for some gators.

Make your MIL hate ya..mine hated me before we met

but but but I am so irresistible, I just can't turn it off. :cool:

Rat's ass

Phil, I've been through this with my mom and dad, who eventually moved to Las Vegas a good thirty years ago. You and your wife need to have a united front and set ground rules early. The most important one that we had to put in place was:

"Do not come over unless you have been invited, or have called to ensure that we are available and want company."

Now, how to enforce it? True story. We were newly married and my mom and dad started to just "drop by" after church on Sunday. I asked that they call first, but in the world before cell phones... it was inconvenient. Since we were young, and Sunday was the only day that we had off together... we were doing "what comes naturally" when the doorbell rang. I threw on a pair of jeans and answered the front door with these words:

Do You ever want grandkids? No, you can't visit. Please call next time."

And I closed the door. Got an apology the next day and they always called before they visited!

Hopefully, your MIL is a bit more genteel than my mom was and she'll take the hint and call first. And you know... now that I think about it, from the day I moved out of my parents home, I never "just stopped by." It's a respect thing. Well, I did once, which I'll tell about later in this thread. Promise. It was funny as anything I've ever done.

You are screwed.

According to PETA, this ^^^^^comment is unfair to rats. :eek:

I always joke that I like my in-laws better than I like my wife's in-laws.

This I am not actually worried about. They really are super good people and very respectful. I am more concerned that I will be expected and voluntold by my bride to be their handyman, gutter cleaner, snow mover, etc slave. That will be an issue at some point I fear. But of course my wife will say I am wrong.

Yeah ,ell eats rats.

Lmao! Going to steal that one!

as long as the MIL is NOT Marie Barone.. you should survive..good luck

BTW MIL visiting= more range time-- you win!

correct....but she is a great baker so sometimes the risk is worth the reward. I just fear being the slave boy.....the rest will be no problem I don't think.

Hey Donut boy! I IDOLIZED my MIL. There wasn't anything that I wouldn't have done to see that she enjoyed life. I would gladly mow her lawn, clean her gutters, do her shopping for her. Heck, I'd even smoke meats for her parties with her girlfriends. Just so long as she calls before she comes over. ROFL. sometimes I amuse even myself.

Quit yer bitchen.....My MIL has lived with us for most of our marriage. Only in the past few years has she been spending more time in the PI's. It was like having free baby sitting, house keeping and a cook. My MIL always respected me and vice versa, I always respected her. Whenever Mayla and I had disagreements or fights, she would always take my side. hehehehe.

I have zero complaints.

My current one refused to come to our wedding, even though my father in law officiated (state overseer of the Church Of God in Texas) They now reside in Tennessee, and I remain here. Works out well

That makes one of us. funny

I have nothing to really bitch about either. But there is no way we could live in the same house......whole new level of respect brother!

I liked the 2 hour buffer as well before. I will get used to it ..... I guess.......

I know you're not. Thanks brother.

PSssssssT.... Phil, your delusional side is peeking out there buddy.:eek:

Affable Roachboy. But not entirely correct, I don't believe he's been chipped yet or wears a dog collar off duty... Do you Phil??** And you can always pull an extra shift or do security at Dunkin' D's...
** this would be a side of you we haven't seen yet, I mean besides the getting naked and parading around town in body paint on yer 10 speed...:facepalm:nanner

DUDE! ???:eek: Were you not present at your wedding??? You signed up for this. STOP whining and think positively! Look at all the negotiating points for new tool-oys you can acquire. The possibilities are limited only by you and your big mopey lower lip. :( Why in a few years you could find yourself out in the backyard with a loading room in the new manshack with a 6x Gator snowplow parked out front. not to mention the cot and lil'electric heater.
But don't fret they'll let you back in the house on holidays... hehehehe.
Yes Phil you are wrong, you (like the rest of us with testicles) were born wrong. Get over it, press on and keep doing the right things for wife and family.

Sorry, but I can't make this equation work. The variables are astronomical kinda like solving PV=nRT.:eek:

hehehe your right of course. I am fortunate....but still...damn inlaws! BUT at least I will have access to a 70" tv and a bar now. lol

And that my friend is how you make lemonade!!
Now a splash of Jose' & triple sec a squirt of grenadine and we're off to the races.:cool:

Knock, knock, knock Phil.
Knock, knock, knock Phil.
Knock, knock, knock Phil.


There's a reason for that.

Who’s there

Obviously Phil does not watch "The Big Bang Theory" :facepalm2:

Uhhh nope. I don’t really watch tv unless it’s hockey.

well that's good. Now we can make all kind of references and he'll be none the wiser...evilnanner

I don't think Sheldon's going to be any help here... Not with Phil thinking like Howard and living in the Amy Farrah Folwer zone.

Knock, Knock, Knock... Phil

Maybe we should switch to something further out there...

like "I'm sorry Phil, but I can't open the escape pod right now.":eek:

Wayyyyy over my head....i need a translator

Big Bang Theory? I checked Netflix and Amazon Prime and couldn't find it.

Must be one of those ancient technology Network TV Shows. :p

People still watch those???

Right.....
Network/Cable, what the hell is cable??? funny

It's long skinny black worm that snakes into your home and spews tons of crap and leftwing PC nonsense into your living room. The venomous little POS is generally only toxic to the young weak minded and the feeble.

Oh, right...Cable TV...

That was that massive scam that tricked people into paying ever increasing monthly fees for Commercial Television shows that they could get for free with an antenna.

If you use the black snake to just get Internet, then you can watch all kinds of things WHEN YOU WANT for a fraction of the cost.

lol...we have cable too, I just never watch it. Kaden likes PBS a lot and the wife has to have HGTV...I can go without anytime.
