Help who with what? If you mean pushing them both to the very brink of losing their sanity, then, yes, you’ve helped a great deal!! Now STFU, get back on your broomstick and fly back home again already! Can’t you see they’re busy trying to move into their new house? Your unexpected visit isn’t required, needed or wanted there . . . not even by your own son!
Hi, rgcviper! :-)
Hello and Happy Friday, fellow Cathy fans. Hope everyone hada really nice day today! :-)
Wow, she is absolutely delusional!! I’m just glad that Irving doesn’t totally buy into her craziness..Hello Cathy clan! TGIF! We are off to an overdue vacation tomorrow, so I won’t “see” you until next Saturday. I hope everyone has a great week!.Sis, to answer your question from yesterday… my MIL has always stayed much longer than I would have liked, yet less than she wanted. That’s pretty much for all of her visits. For when Jr was born, she wanted to stay with us for a month and she told my husband when she wanted to come. It all was totally her idea, and no one asked me what I wanted. Her reasoning is that this was her first grandchild and she was so excited about it. She is so self-centered that she didn’t think it was MY first child, she already had 5 of her own children, and it should be about what the _mother_wanted not her. For that, I could only talk her down from a month to 3 weeks. The only good thing was that Jr arrived 9 days late and my in-laws showed up well before my due date, so I didn’t have to put up with them and a new baby for long. For Lil, she was due July 7, so I said that I wanted my mom to come first and they could come later in July. At first she agreed, but when they looked at airline tickets, the price increase between June and July was ridiculous so I had to agree they could come in late June and stay for 2.5-3 weeks. Both times she did nothing to help and only made things difficult, but that’s another story… :-) And she told us before we left Spain that she was going to come visit us next spring, which I really don’t want. (Sorry for the long answer!)
BIYUG Help!! rgcviper, I think you mean back under the rock….. ;)As for your mil lightenup, perhaps you could use the time next spring to take a vacation yourself (and leave her with the kids). Excuse my devious mind. ;)

I am getting a flashback of Marie from Everybody Loves Raymond.

No wonder it took Irving decades to finally decide to get married. He’s known since birth that he would end up with a lunatic.

I don’t understand why Cathy doesn’t tell her MIL to STFU.
