I can't control her drinking as she drinks all day, and says she is going to read. Then she goes downstairs to her room and drinks vodka on top of all the wine. Hey, the woman has had cancer thrice and is almost 80. We don't have booze here, she buys her own.Who the hell am I to tell her what to do🤓 Point is, deep, deep, very deep down she is a good person and I love her. 😬😳 Okay, truth is the chicks unbearable..let's just keep it real 😇 Thanks again so much for the support. 💕Quote:

I think he has lowered the bar perversly and corrupted the spirit and integrity, the very heart of what it is to be a man. He is just a puffed up, narcissistic worm. Yesterday my husband said that he thought John McCain had more integrity and class on one toe hair than Trump has ever had in his whole life. He also said that Trump is a very, very, very small little man. He doesn't run people down much. Coming from him, speaks volumes...I could not agree more. I hope no ones son grows up to be anything like him. MHO sorry if that was a bit much 🇨🇦Quote:

I think you are right, they leak it themselves. Either way, if one makes videos or gets pics taken that are risque they should expect that they could get out. Serves them right.

Here are some Swiss Valais Blacknose sheep to give you a smile. I've read that they are very affectionate and pet-like. I think they're so incredibly adorable!
Oh, they're darling! Thank you, Elyse!
:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
They are adorable:love:. They almost look like stuffed animals!
Amazing, I never would have imagined there were animals like that!
Talked to my Mother for the first time in ten years today. We had a falling out and it was beginning to weigh very heavily on me so I rang her up and she talked for an hour with me like that time never mattered. Well, you cannot tell me that wonders never cease. I feel like a heavy burden has been lifted, probably because it has. It could most certainly have gone either way. Just wanted to share something really good my freinds😁 She is a very healthy 79 yrs. old and I am 56, we don't live forever and.... sometimes it not too late to start over. Sometimes it is. 💕👍🏿
That's wonderful, mon. I'm so happy for you, and for your mother, too!
:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
Thank you❤️🤜🏻🤛
That is so nice to hear - we are happy for you both!Quote:

Its really annoying when the doctor/s dont know what theyre doing.
the quote above made me smile though. i'll have to keep that in mind more :D
How does one change? I am dreading having an uninvited guest. One and a half months, my mother in law is going to stay for one and a half months. Six weeks, that's like 28 days plus 14 more. Give or take. I think I'm gonna stroke out. No getting out of it, I tried. So.. how do I change? Look forward to to the gates of hell opening up and the antichrist planting her arse in my home.... for one and a half months, six freakin weeks, that's at least 28 days, and at least 14 more. I need to get the hell outta dodge. I can't cope with her. I will go insane. I'm done.

If only I had a huge house and enough space for three Saint Bernards ... How fun would that be?!! If I win $1.5 billion in the lottery drawing, I would buy a humongous house and fill it up with fur kids. But three St. Bernards, you're going to need lots of brushes and combs! I'd be glad to help!
I'm sorry, mon. I hope it goes better than you're expecting.Quote:

What does your mother-in-law enjoy doing? Keep her busy, keep yourself busy.
Aww, thanks kids! I will stop wallowing in self pity now, it is a very unattractive quality, I realize. What she likes to do is sit in my chair all day, and stare at her i phone, leave a trail of crumbs and dishes from the kitchen to the chair and watch home Reno shows and the property brothers while drinking no less that one bottle of red wine and at least 3 highballs. I'll just hide upstairs when I need a break, there's lots to do upstairs, housework, t.v., reading, kissing cats.....laundry. It is unavoidable, I have a few months to steel myself for the inevitable. It's hard to have her for 2 weeks, I cannot fathom, well...you know. I will just have to let her make a huge mess and clean it all up when she's gone, there. Problem solved. Maybe I was a messy kid, could be Karma.
What does your husband... her son.. have to say about all this? Will he take some responsibility and involve himself with his mother while she's visiting?
Oh yes, he always helps with everything but she always comes when he has holidays, 4 times a year. She will be here when he's working this time, he works at least 12 hours a day. She won't cook or clean anything, believe me, I have asked her many times. It's so weird, I know she can see well enough. She's just lazy and busy on her i pad, drinking and eating. She always says " I'll do it later". Well she never does. Blows my mind. I have gotten angry a couple times and told her to help out, she just gets insulting, pretends to cry and then pouts in her room for a while. Then she'll re appear ten minutes later, want to "hug it out" as she calls it and carry on her merry way, exactly as before. It's amazing really, gotta hand it to her. I am not sure if she is messed up in the head or not, I think she just wants to get her way and knows I'm not sure what to think. Hopefully she will stop coming to visit one day 💀😸🙀
Oh it's all very boring and complicated I know. She has dual citizenship, to keep it and her B.C. Medical ins. She must spend a certain amount of time here, apparently our house. I think she blew most of her wad, travelles the world, last year it was Anrarctica and Cambodia. She just bought a condo in Mexico and her laser surgery is cheaper here, plus she will have free room, board and a chef and maid. Chicks not stupid. Sorry, I'm done, I hope I'm never anything like her when I'm old 🙏🏾😁
I think you need to sit down with your husband on a calm day, and discuss with him a set of written "rules" for his mother to follow while she is here, or she can expect to be told to get a rental room somewhere instead. Make a list - laundry, dishes, whatever, list out every possible chore. Discuss it calmly, and see what can be worked out.
There is hope- she is not the only one who needs to change.
Especially if he's going to be working 12-hour days during her visit. I think an advance plan is a terrific idea. A similar thing happened to my family many years ago when a family friend visited. She wanted to cook for us, but she didn't have a car and I ended up taking her to the supermarket, the butcher, the bakery ... She was having such a lovely time with us (after we had been her AirB&B, restaurant, laundry and maid service for ten days) that she wanted to stay another week. We firmly told her that wouldn't work for us. When she left it was like a three ring circus had just left town. Looking back, we'd have done a lot better with some sort of agenda made out in advance.Quote:

Thanks Karen and cassiesmom. I'll consider it, the list I mean. If she does dishes, there's always dried food left on the plates and cutlery, yuuuck. If she crams them in the dishwasher there's also too much food on them and I gotta do it myself anyway. She does lift her feet up whilst I vaccume however. She'll just ignore a list, I'll get angry. There's no point, that's 30 yrs. of experience talking. I'm just going to do the same as usual, try and get her to clean up after herself and let the rest go. We won't let her come back for a VERY long time after this, at least a year. I'll try and change as much as I can, I don't expect she'll change much...😂
That sounds familiar, exactly my experience! I am so sorry for you, wasn't that dreadful!! I know, unfortunately I can totally relate my friend. Hope she never came back. 😁Quote:

I have DDD and arthritis so I do the best I can but truth be told, she gets around far better than I unfortunately. I know that she will get really drunk, tell all her cronies at the bar and then send me a scorching, resentful e mail. I told her not to bother with that. Either help out at the very least or find other accommodations. I also know she will try to pit her son against me and cry. I don't care, told her that too. You pick your battles and I choose very few. I've had enough. I've been dealing with the consequences of this and shall continue to do so, on my terms now. Oh MY, maybe pray for me....? 😮😳
That went well. Mum in Law says she'll help out all the time, just doesn't want to interfere or cross the line. Not a clue what that means. No way does she want to stay anywhere else. She loves and adores both of us madly and all will be well. Pretty sure that means she'll just buy me lots of stuff, drink more and try to stop eating off plates. Thanks for listening people, I apologize for carrying on so. Thanks again.
Yay! This is good news! (((HUGS))) -elyseQuote:

There's no way to address this that won't be offensive to some, but I don't care. There are some folks that spend inordinate amounts of cash on pets that are clearly very ill. I just want people who aren't flush, to maybe think about their own health and perhaps keeping some scratch in case they need to spend some on their own healthcare and well being. Just a thought pet lovers.
Is this a response to Pettalk members posting about their sick pets?Quote:
