OT - Still Have Holiday Houseguest

Fred19Flintstone

 My MIL is still here.  She rode in on her broom in mid December and isn’t flying home until mid January.  Maybe it’s me, but houseguests are welcome to stay as long as a typical fish lasts in the fridge.  Then they both stink.  It’s not like we don’t get along.  This is us playing tag in the yard:



I sure will be sad to take her to the airport in 10 days, 9 hours and 32 minutes to fly home.

You need an airport for brooms?!

A month is tough duty- can you arrange a work trip out of town?

when we bought our house we strategically set it up without a guest room.  they can visit they just cant stay.  the only people that stay now is my SIL on an air mattress in our office but the mattress might get a pin hole leak next time, you never know about those things.

this is a good reason to have pastimes that ofer ample opportunities for out of town travel with the boys.

Hunting
Fishing
Golfing


Nice time of year for a trip from Flint to Mexico for a little deep sea fishing.

You all are full of good ideas.  I have much to learn.

Yeah.....the difference between in-laws and outlaws are out-laws are wanted.

This endurance test must build you some big favour points with the wife.

The sure thing is that mothers and daughters will eventually start fighting. Just remember to stay out of it when they start.

Yikes!

When we lived in Atlanta, relatives and friends of relatives would want to stay with us during their trip to/from Florida.

We established ground rules from the start:

"We would be delighted to help you with hotel reservations."

It's amazing how many of them became angry as if we were obligated to play host and hostess. 

You might want to give it a try next year.

I know my house turns into BJ central whenever my MIL is staying with us.  I've convinced SWMBO that it's the only thing we can do that doesn't make any sound loud enough to wake her mom up, and that she owes it to me for putting up with all of the BS.  It's a BJ for BS trade that I've been happy to make.    It's the only way I come out ahead.

I had one show up, took me 2.5 years to get rid of her

I guess there’s pros and cons to having them 7 miles away.  Of course when it was 700’....

I really like all my inlaws......except for one sister-in-law.  The rest are welcome anytime!

I feel your pain. My inlaws live next door.... ugh.

Phew!!!  When I read the first line, I thought “Who is this guy’s MIL?  Traci Lords?”  I’m glad your wife smokes a peace pipe.

She must be a heavy, heavy sleeper if a bj doesn't wake her up...

Guessing it's minimally invasive.

You guys are a bunch of characters.   @Fred19Flintstone My heart goes out to you.  I couldn't have my own mother in my house for that long.

If I had your negotiating skills I would build an in-law suite and move my MIL in.

Sometimes the obvious choice is the best choice. Have you thought about faking your own death?

I think this is a viable option, maybe the only option, for Fred.

When our daughter is home to visit, the boys and me are on a countdown for the inevitable explosion.
