My wife gives me shiat about my mom. Mom can be a mean.

But I am like, she is old and will be dead soon, SO DEAL WITH IT.

/you can get a new wife, you only have one mom.

Talk about throwing out the baby to spite your face.

Or maybe it's cutting off your nose in the bathwater. I get things mixed up.

Having to put up with that would make killing the biatch, and her little golden boy justifiable homicides.

Talk about throwing out the baby to spite your face.

Best. Mixed metaphor. Evar.

I feel her pain.

You guys haven't met my mother-in-law. Geeeeeez.... She could make Hitler look like Jesus Christ.

WTF? Lunch is not the most important meal of the day unless your getting a nooner. And if your ma-in-law is stopping that, just tear one off in front of her and see if that doesn't stop her from bugging you at lunch.
/And I'm sure _her_ mom is a saint...
//If bad in-laws was a valid reason for divorce, I'd be single right now.

You may not be able to have two moms, but you can definetly have two dads:

In many parts of the world, lunch is the main meal of the day. This is why lots of folks refer to lunch as "dinner," and the evening meal as "supper."

I remember the time I called my ex-mother in law a drunken witch. That went over like a fart in church.

Translation: She just recently found a man with a bigger buldge in either his back pocket or the front of his pants. Or both

ChairmanKaga: she is old and will be dead soon, SO DEAL WITH IT.


I'm not sure murder is the answer, but it might be.

I love my mother-in-law --- it is my wife's mother in law that worries me

Now that's JUICY!

i believe you meant to say, 'don't throw your nose out with the bathwater.'

I got a neighbor kid who has two moms...

Mantanga
Priceless

Feltonl: I got a neighbor kid who has two moms...

Really. Huh. Uhhh.. are they.. let me seem here. Are they, uh, cute?

Maybe 5' tall red-haired Chinese moms?

Just, maybe?

This article hits a little too close to home.

My in-laws sold their house and have been living on the road for the last 3 years. Which is fine, because we hardly ever see them. But they've been staying at a trailer park just down the road from us for the last 6 weeks, and I'm about to go out of my mind. Luckily they're leaving again this week.

The stories my buddy has told me about his mother towards his wife. When they went house hunting the big factor was "how far away is it from your mother?" At his wedding, I thought she was wearing a black dress and she wanted to invite his old girl friend, the one she wanted him to marry, to the event. She is deathly allergic to cats, his mother is, but not that bad. They get a cat to keep her away. Last X-Mas, it was real quiet at the dinner table, his mother talked about how she bumped it his old girl friend for almost an hour. His mother is nice, but sometimes she is an absolute stereo-type of the mother-in-law. My mom on the other hand, would be happy with almost anything I brought home as long as grandchildren are on the way.

only in Romania....or Florida.

Wow. It's Everybody Loves Raymond. As a married person, I can identify with that show. HA ha.

I know that if my wife's family moved in with us it would be grounds for a divorce. I'm glad I live a state away.

Momma?

ChairmanKaga: /you can get a new wife, you only have one mom.

Not true. I've had lots of moms, including yours.

My Ex- mother in law would always qualify our statements with "That's Okay". God that drove me bonkers.

Her husband needs to put a stop to that ASAP. Or I'd divorce him, too.

oh SNAP

i was trying to look for a picture of the evil mom from goonies


but all i came up with was this ...

What? No Principal Skinner pics?

I have the best mother-in-law in the world.

SHE's DEAD!

But it took years to get her that way.

Isn't no-fault divorce wonderful. You can get divorced, shafted, lose everything, or at least half over practically nothing.
My second marriage lasted 1 1/2 years. The worst fight was whether the toilet seat got left up or down. For goodness sake, women, if this is so troubling, look at the damb thing before sitting. Last words before the lawyers.
I have lots of issues here . . . better shut up.
Divorce sucks.

I didn't want to post the picture as it's not 100% on topic (not that it's really ever stopped me before), but ask and ye shall blah blah:

I think my mom loves my fiance more than me.

I know what you mean Quick1, I think my Dad likes my sister's husband more than my sister.. seriously

My mother is moving in with me while she house hunts, I wonder if I will still have a girlfriend when this is over.

Maybe she preceived your indifference over the topic to be a lack of consideration for her needs. Women are weird that way (in fairness, we men are weird too, in different ways).

I get along great with my mother-in-law, but it's really easy, considering my mom's a psychotic biatch.

No Such Agency: Maybe she preceived your indifference over the topic to be a lack of consideration for her needs. Women are weird that way (in fairness, we men are weird too, in different ways).

Men just beat the shiat out of each other and then it's over. Women tend to nurse inward pettiness and resentments and never seem to forgive. I think this is why the Catholic church only allows men to be priests.

/flame on!!!1!!three!!!

Define the rules up front, including when she has to leave, or you could get stuck with her forever =\

they should try sitting when they eat..

ChairmanKaga
you can get a new wife, you only have one mom.

Not really.

The vow goes like this: "forsaking ALL others..."

that's not just talking about marital faithfulness, it's talking about seperating yourselves from your parents, and even your children as a single unit with your wife and wife alone.

It means you are taking an oath to meet your spouse's needs even when they contradict your own.

When you look at the myriad of half-ass excuses that people use to divorce these days its clear no one bothers to actually think about what the vows actually mean.

/rant over
//not trying to pick a fight with kaga
///just irritated at how lightly we as Americans take our promises.

My mother-in-law was perfectly fine even though, as a Baptist, she was brought up to believe Catholics have horns. After meeting my parents, she was gracious enough to admit that they were just like real people. My ex-wife though..., jesus.

Ha, If I had a mom-in-law from hell, I wouldn't just take it! And I'll be damned if my husband would make me have lunch with her everyday.

RUDE TURNIP: You have a point. We men tend to boil it down to tough. But NO SUCH AGENCY also pegged it, at least for me. I have many piccadellos (sp. probably). Could have to do with my age and the age I grew up in.
1. Leave my tools alone!
2. Don't touch the guns, they're loaded. (This didn't pertain to my first wife). She was a hell of a shot. Between the two of us we won lots of money, guns, accessories, trophies (threw away), in competition NRA shooting.
3. After work is MY time, for at least an hour.
4. I don't want to talk about work, money, at least not right now. (real cop out)
Anyway, you get the gest. I'm a baby boomer about to become a retired burden to my children and society. Actually, I'm not that old, but it sounded good.
Considering her shooting ability, I maybe should have kept Wife #1. . . .Nay.
