Waking up at 12.05am to have a pee and then start to watch the cricket.

Fur-huck that.

My mother-in-law.

It was Mother's Day in Thailand this weekend.
The wife and I trekked north to spend time with her and the extended family with a plan to spoil her on the day.

So the day comes, we ask what she wants, and what she wants to do, and go about fulfilling her wishes.

It was nothing much, she just wanted to go to a fruit farm and buy some fruit (dates to be specific).
Off we go and when we get there she decides she wants ~AUD100 worth of fruit.
She wants to share it around the rest of the family.
OK. No probs. Done.

She also wanted to put on a dinner at home for the extended family.
No probs. Done.

Next day, she wants to go shopping for shoes and a handbag.
OK, whatever you want. Let's go.

So we basically spend the weekend buying her whatever she wants, no arguments.

I just learn now, after getting back last night, that she is not happy.
Apparently we spent too much on fruit.
Didn't get her the right handbag.
Her new shoes are not comfortable enough.
And we didn't give her any money (despite transferring THB1,000 to her a week earlier).

Honestly, I've said this to my wife many times but she is the sort of woman you could buy her Buckingham Palace and she'd say 'I wanted the Taj Mahal'.

She can have the Taj Mahal. It's pretty dilapidated though. Does she want the footy team that goes with it?

She might be an ungrateful pain in the arse, but she's not a fool.

Ask in return that she gives you a supply of free medical cannabis oil available there!

I had a mother in law just like that. Gone now to somewhere else, but not forgotten. Greatest thing is, her ways never translated to her kids or grandkids for that matter. God bless her, her young learnt the hard way NOT to be like Mother.

Dunno about it being free, but there's weed shops everywhere over here.

Mine's a real piece of work.

When we first came over we all lived in a house together - me, wife, her mum, sister and nephew.
There was a massive bust up in the family after about 6 months, basically through mother in law not knowing how to keep her mouth shut.
The others all moved out and up north to be with the rest of the extended family.
It's really taken me till now to actually be able to look my mother in law in the eye again.

My wife wants to move up there to be closer to them again.
I'm more than happy to keep them at arms length.

I've often thought having my inlaws only half an hour away is actually beneficial because I don't have to waste chunks of my annual leave going and visiting them, mate at works inlaws live at Tamworth and he seems to have to go up there about 20 times a year. Fk that

 

[Special K]

Part of the reason I live in Cronulla was to be close(ish) to my MIL due to the wifes request - I wanted Northern Beaches. Can't complain about that though the wife told me the other day she wished we bought around Canterbury to be next to her! Faaark that. My mums about 90 minutes away so she gets jealous about that with the grandkids so that causes annoyances. Issue is the MIL still works, looks after her mum and the wifes almost 30 year old brother who lives at home so we barely get any help anyway. That said she is awesome. Takes my side in every disagreement with the wife and I am never wrong!

I'd love to go live far from everyone. Having young kids makes everything so hard so I'd love a farm and just let them go run wild.

Also living with a wife in thailand is like bringing sand to the beach mate. Tell the MIL to stick it and go wild you king!

Fair call… and the bloke that apparently gave her one. Fugly bumpings if it happened.

 

[Ozzi_78]

My MIL is 2 suburbs away but won’t help out with the kids cos she says she doesn’t do it for the other siblings. Ffs they all live an hour away. Anyway f**k them they just don’t get it, my kids don’t have an attachment to their grandparents and it’s fine with me.

Haha. It's crossed my mind once or twice.
It's the long, tanned legs hanging off the back of motorbikes that do it to me.
They're everywhere!!

Yeah PIL's had little to do with kids growing up and now wonder why they don't come see them.

The captains challenge. Not the system itself, which is neither here nor there.
But the referee, blows his whistle, walks about 10 meters away from the players and talks to the video ref but looks like he is talking to himself.
Irks me. Stand where you are, tell the players around you to be quiet and try not to make yourself look important whilst making yourself look insane.

Outside of that. Cyclists.

I out lived my MIL. Life goal achieved.
