As the saying goes, you can choose friends but you cant choose family I take it you have nothing to do with him anymore? Tbh I didn’t really get on with him before this happened 3 years ago. It’s my Mrs and her elder brother I feel sorry for being betrayed first by their own mother then by their brother who could have righted some of the wrong. They did seek legal advice but unless you can prove that she wasn’t of sound mind, or was coerced into making the will, or the Will was fraudulent/not the latest will or they were dependent on their mother then there is no chance of successfully contesting it. However I’m a believer in every dog having its day and all that when her brother bought a brand new Lexus 4WD thing and it was stolen within a week never to be seen again. Karma. So did you ship it to asia or did you park it at the bottom of Westport lake |

I met my mrs in Nepal over a decade ago and all her family are Tibetan so can't visit unless we sort out visas. First time I met the prospective MIL I was embarrassed that she was supposed to be uneducated but tried to communicate with me in five different local languages but couldn't speak English. I couldn't speak Tibetan, Nepali, Hindi, Urdu or Guajarati so first night my mrs spent translating my grunts and pointing. Her nieces and younger sister helped too as they could speak English.
However, my mrs had been teaching me some pigeon Tibetan and, when I found out the MIL had gone for a haircut, couldn't wait for her return as thought I knew enough to compliment her barnet on her return. As soon as she was in the door I was ready and in front of the whole family with two thumbs up shouted 'Tu Yappo-doo!'
Yappo-doo is 'good' but unfortunately 'Tu' isn't the word for 'hair'. In actual fact the first sentence I said/ shouted enthusiastically at my future MIL that she understood was 'Vagina Very Good!' Although factually correct, and giving her sister and nieces a bloody good laugh, it wasn't the greatest first impression.
Ewoks speak some Tibetan btw - when C3PO flies in the chair they're saying 'Look at all the money'.

There’s something about mothers and weddings. My MIL is otherwise perfectly reasonable but she was a nightmare around our wedding. Organizing stuff behind our backs that we didn’t actually want. Ignore the emotional blackmail and stick to your guns and do what you your future wife want. There’s no way on earth she won’t attend. Exactly. Remind her that you and your lady are grown ups, that it's your big day and that she has choices. If she chooses to stay away, you'll be disappointed, but you will respect her decision. |

My mother in law was an angrier, uglier version of James McClean. She was a better left winger though.

Never had a problem with my mother-in-law. She keeps herself to herself and never interferes.
But a couple of years ago we took her to Madame Tussaud's Chamber of Horrors and one of the attendants did ask her to keep moving because they were stock-taking.

So i popped the question before christmas, and we are in full swing on wedding planning, but why is it that the mother in law can reduce my mrs to tears and say she isn't coming because she wants a church wedding? Personally I feel that if I am spending the best part of 15 grand on a wedding I will get married where the fuck i want. Anyone else run in to this? I can't understand people that get to that age in life and still think the world revolves around them, to the point she'd refuse to go to her Daughter's Wedding. Bizarre. If that's what you and your Mrs have agreed then it's up to everyone else to respect that. Is she a woman of devout faith or someone that uses it as a stick to beat others with but isn't really that religious? Either way, it's your day. Personally really fortunate that my In Laws are really sound and supportive. |

My father's mother had three daughter in laws, including my mother. Two of the daughter in laws, including my mother, she stuck her nose up since day one. Always put them down, insulted them, complained that they weren't good enough for her sons. The third daughter in law she tolerated until she got to know that daughter in law's mother. The two bitchy old women got into a fight, and from then on the third daughter in law was on the shit list too.
My grandmother was a physically gorgeous woman, and her daughter in laws certainly aren't ugly, but they're not stunning beauties like my grandmother. My grandmother bullied them constantly about their appearance.
Toward the end of her life my grandmother was completely bedridden with limited cognitive capacity. My mother bathed her, fed her, wiped her butt, and listened to her babble endlessly about how beautiful and smart she was when she was young. My grandmother showed no appreciation, no gratitude, and threw tantrums at my mother until her last breath.
Every time I think about my grandmother I feel so thankful that I escaped that experience with my own mother in law.

It'll be a cold day in hell before I have a MIL.
And yes I've told the other half.
I look at my old man and see what my mother did to him and thats the reason I'll never take the plunge, cos I never want to look that broken.

This wasn't a 12 year old she was in her late 30s.

One night in gay Par-ee,
I paid five francs to see
A big fat French lady,
Tattooed from head to knee.
And on her jaw
Was a British man-of-war,
And on her back was a Union Jack,
So I paid five francs more,
And running up and down her spine
Was the Bangkok Hash in line,
And on her lily-white bum
Was a picture of the rising sun,
And on her fanny
Was Al Jolson singing Mammy,
How I loves her, how I loves her,
How I loves my mother-in-law.
I loves my mother-in-law,
She's nothing but a dirty old whore,
She nags me day and night,
And I can't do fuck-all right,
She's coming home today,
But I hope she stays away,
Now isn't it a pity,
She's only one titty,
And she's in the family way.
Last night I greased the stairs,
Put thumbtacks on the chairs,
I hope she breaks her back,
Because I do love wearing black.
She drinks all my brandy,
And makes my dog feel randy,
How I loves her, how I loves her,
How I loves my mother-in-law.

My father in law gave me £7k towards the wedding. The guest list consisted of 50 people we had to invite before we got round to friends we asked him could we use the deposit on a house. He was happier with that I saved up in Iraq a few years back for a nice holiday to Cyprus on my return. We ended up throwing another £1000 at it and got married out there. We said those who want to come sort it out themselves 22 people came out and we had a great time at the fraction of the cost. As far as inlaws go my MIL is ok. My dad died 12 years ago and my FIL has been awesome to me "2 2 people came out..." That seems to be an extraordinary proportion of homosexuals. Is there something you would like to share with us? |

Now you mention it I've often thought that Salop's voice has a high register. |

Sorry to hear that Billy unfortunately they can have a habit of causing shit well beyond the wedding so you may well be right. Took the lad with her did a hatchet job guess mummy meant more never mind If I could give you one piece of advice it would be to lose any anger that you have as soon as possible and get your fair share of custody and never let the lad hear you say a bad word about his lovely mother and his lovely grandmother. Use your close family to get rid of your frustration about the situation. |
