Tale of an epic IN guilt trip

FIL: "If you guys decide to stay in Australia and have kids there I will just shoot myself...or follow you there."

Good times.

Re: Tale of an epic IN guilt trip

  • Yeah, I basically got the same speech from my family yesterday. I feel bad but what can I do? I would love them to move here.

     

    When do you leave for Australia? Did you decide to go to Thailand?

    Wise Rita response "OH!  How much do we stand to inherit?  That could really help with figuring out if we can financially afford a kid in Australia!"

  • Well, no sex for you two for the next years. Such a shame. ;)

    We leave Monday morning Norway time, arrive Tuesday evening Australia time.

    The decision was made for us, since all flights in our acceptable time range were booked solid.  Boo.

    They're atheist!  So there is no valid excuse!

  • I think there's another correct response: "That's too bad. We had wanted to have kids while we were there, but <shrug> I guess we'll just have to wait another 10 years or so."

    Ha! Well, I've got nothing then. But hopefully the threat of holding out on the grandkids, like Kelly said, will be enough. Grandkids are universal.

  • Wow, that's just ridiculous!  My parents try that crap with me some times, and it's incredibly infuriating each and every time.
