mil invited herself/causing problems ie messy house
soooo. We planned to get married January 7, 2011 in my honey's hometown in Germany. Welp, he washed his own uniforms (military) and his passport along with them... TWICE. We OBVIOUSLY couldn't fly to Germany with a passport that won't scan. So we decided to move the wedding up to December 17, 2010. Which was much better for me because I couldnt plan everything in Germany in 2 weeks. We told my MIL the new date. I don't mind the fact that she flew over, but I do mind the fact that she brought nothing but drama. my h and I of course let them(MIL, her boyfriend, and sis-in-law) stay here at our home and as soon as they got here, my coffee table- covered in mess (ie dirty dishes, pill cases, bags of potato chips, garbage). My sis in law is mentally disabled, so I let her slide with dishes once in a while, and she actually helps me with laundry and cleaning and dishes... I ADORE HER! actually growing up as an only child, this is great cause I have a sis now. So anyways, my mil is not a good housekeeper, but an excellent cook. So she cooks and leaves the dishes everywhere. Our landlord bought us a brand new stove and fridge and they were nasty dirty within 2 days (no kidding!!!) I try to keep up with their whirl-wind, but Christ. NOW the biggest thing, On December 16, she was talking to my husband-to-be and right away she went to "oh so we will just go to the airport and fly back home"
Re: mil invited herself/causing problems ie messy house
Um. Wow.
Why would you allow her back into your house after she left it a mess and made your lives miserable, let alone stole your garage door opener and YOUR MILITARY ID??? Are you surprised that the house was a mess again ten minutes after they came back? Have you even tried talking to your MIL about this? (And by "you" I really mean "your husband", since it's his family and he was the one fuming about expensive sporting and electronic equipment being left in an open-to-the-public garage - rightly so.) You are letting your MIL treat you this way and you can't expect things to be any different until you let her know that it is unacceptable.
Oh...and I could use a laugh, so let's hear the almost-arrest story. Seriously...you've piqued my curiosity.

I am not a fan of MUD, since it wastes time and space. But I CAN see the entertainment of it.
However, I hate when people use the military to spice up the story.
Can you stop saying "welp"? Every time I see it, I picture you with one hand under your chin, the other slapping something and making a dramatic sound. It's bugging the hell out of me.
I see baby dragons when I hear welp. Let's get a nice fire-breathing dragon into this story. That ought to spice things up. And really you shouldn't use the military in a MUD. Try dragons instead.
What does MUD mean?
