Was there a DD?

Before I headed to work I swore I read a post about a lady that was mad at her MIL because the MIL was offering for people to stay in the DIL's guest room and the DIL was mad because she'd have to wash the sheets before her Mom came to visit.

Did I imagine that?

Re: Was there a DD?

  • not imagined. i remember that one too. i'm not sure why a DD was warranted, though - the responses were pretty tame.
  • Yep - DD'ed.
  • If there's enough interest--I am pretty sure it is still open on my desktop at home.

    Don't get the DD in this case though, unless some much harsher posts were added after I looked this morning...

    So angry at mil right now.

    Let me start by saying I looove my i laws. I really do. And 99 percent of the time we get along great. But my mil always volunteers our guest room instead of hers. They live 2 min from us. This normally only bothers me slightly but tonight I'm furious.  Bil is in town and she volunteered our guest room. So my husband texted me a FYI that bil is sleepin in guest room ( so I am aware in the AM because I work overnights). Well my mother is visiting this afternoon and staying the night. Mil has known about this visit from my mom. So when I get off work tonight I get to go home and wash sheets instead of sleep. She HAS a guest room. Ugh. Sorry rant over.

    So, why didnt your HUSBAND tell her no? Why doesnt your H wash the sheeets?

    Why not be angry at your H? He has allowed his mother to do stuff like this.

    You as owner of the house also have the right to tell her no.

    Oh believe me I am angry with him also.  And I would DEFINITELY make him wash the sheets but his brother won't be awake by the time H needs to leave for work (his brother sleeps until at LEAST 11.) And my mom will be here by 4 pm before my H gets off work (around 5:30-6 sometimes later) 

    Now the sheets probably don't HAVE to be done right when she gets here but I will have to do them if I want them done. H usually purposefully does a shitty job on house hold jobs ( most likely so that I stop asking him to do them) .

    Your husband sounds awesome. I can see why you married him.
    fiancee = vag ** fiance = peen ** Babies shouldn't be born with jobs ** **They're called first loves for a reason -- more are supposed to come after. You don't get a medal for marrying your prom date.**

    Yeah, that would make me really mad. At both your MIL and at your H.

    However it sounds like it happens a lot and you usually don't really mind so I can see why no one thought too much about this time being any different.

    I would lock the door so that BIL can't come in the house.  Your ILS already have a key?  Take it
