Not in agony is a good thing, and I'm inclined that stoned off his face is as well

 

MILs....they must have gone  to some school and got a PHD in Total Miserable Cowness before we turned up. I hear you on the break too. We took three trips last  year, and left her behind, but of course I had to take my other patient with me. He's good on the whole, unless his BP crashes, and that's not hard to deal with, but I have to do it. So even on holiday, I am watching all the time. Would be great to just take off without a care in the world, wouldn't it.

She's been unwell for 6 years and he has been for 5, and sometimes it's just a litany of complaint from get up till lay down.

 

Today he's just depressed and convinced he's going to be dependent on Ned's forever...

 

MIL has decided she's going to live here but keep her house full of stuff...that means we have no guest room and can't use her house as it's not habitable - means my family can't visit and that is not acceptable - big rows fixing to happen!

 

Im with you on holidays, we've had 3, MIL came on all and for the last one we had rednecks late wife's parents too...some days running away seems like a good plan 😂😂

Hubs and I are both afraid of his mother visiting for fear she won't leave.  I'm too strong willed to put up with BS but too nice to say she can't stay either.  Of course hubs solves this by us going to visit her and BIL's family. Need to buy those tickets...  

FWIW she did this exact thing with BIL. Granted she was staying with her sister before then and it wasnt a good situtation for her. 

I'm glad he and I are on the same page with this.  I do feel bad that his family can't afford to visit  (apparently) but my mother comes once a year.  But I certainly will not tell her no just to make him feel better.  He always seems to be in OKC when she visits anyhow. LOL

My MIL hinted broadly when we went to NZ last February.  You'd have had to be totally deaf to miss it....but somehow, I managed. No siree, NOT.  She pulled the same stunt when we went to BC in August, so see my son. I hadn't seen him in ten years, and the last person I was taking with me would have been her, yammering away in the backseat on a cross country drive.  Although I did have a funny mental picture, her coming to grips with my son, and his husband, and my grand daughter...the cat. She said she had relatives there she wanted to catch up with. Turns out they are relatives in the sense that she found them on Ancestry, and they've never heard of her. Yah, nah.

My sinuses are better, but the back is still out all right....

[trudi 1,317]

Hope your back is better soon.

 

The squishy faced one (Oscar the dog) is not being himself, he's skittish and not eating, I'm hoping his mouth (which has inoperable tumors) isn't hurting him, he's moved from the U.K. with me and I promised him I'd let him go when he wasn't enjoying himself anymore but I'm not ready

[SAT 9,609]

I know how that feels...
