Deeply upset over a horrible easter

[mrs_overall]

I'm only able to post this after the event because I was so upset. My mother in law in a fit of generosity bought Mr O and the Junior O's a Samsung tablet each as Easter presents. She gave me a small Toblerone. I guess it shows what she thinks of me.

Oh and don't forget... if she whinges then have her son cook her something different and replace the bedsheets, no special treatment from you!

You deserve better. Stop being soo nice ......hehehe jaggy sheets and a dinner she hates i like ur tactics - toblerone for dessert....taken anally!! By her LOL xx

I think I'd get my own back at Christmas. Make sure Mr O, Junior O and MiL open presents at the same time. Get lovely presents for the first two and then give MiL a beautifully wrapped little parcel with a Mars bar inside. I think she'll get the message. X

Note to self: Do not cross Mrs O. It's not only the Marigolds, Whitby sand and cattle prod you need to be wary of.

Im deeply upset also as my pa bought me two easter eggs and a big jar of
thorntons chocolates, knowing full well me and mr. cupid are trying our hardest to lose weight!

Here is the ideal christmas present for the old goat. The version in German is also £3 cheaper than the English version. Perhaps Mr O could then buy her a german dictionary as his present. (hope the link works). Media URL: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=toblerone&x=16&y=24

she's only an auld handbag Mr s. O. Unfortunately the world is full of them.

Oops - link did not work but it is a book on Amazon all about Toblerones. Ideal I would say.

Hi, I hope you don't mind me pitching my 2p worth in but I read your travails and felt compelled to respond. The Italians have a saying "the best revenge is to live well". It sounds very much like you have a wonderful, loving family so I'd say you have the gold medal round your neck. Lennon and McCartney were right, "All You Need is Love" - you have it, you won. Have a wonderful weekend and don't rise to her bile. Best Regards.

I feel so sad reading these posts about awful mothers-in-law. They should be happy that their sons have found someone to share their lives with and welcome their wives into the family. I have two sons, always wanted a daughter but we decided to stop at two children. My older son got married at the age of 36 so it was a long wait to get the daughter (not daughter in law) I always wanted. I love her to bits and do anything I can to help her out. She had two caesarians to give us our two gorgeous little grandsons and post op. I would cook meals, shop, take the ironing home to do - anything that would make her life easier and all this goodwill is 100% reciprocated. And when it comes to presents, we tend to give our kids money and she gets exactly the same, she's family and we wouldn't dream of treating her any differently.

One good thing to come out of all these terrible relationships is that those of you young mums who have sons and will one day become mothers-in-law, will know exactly what to do and what not to do to create harmony in the family.

Unfortunately Foxlee, it doesn't work like that does it or it wouldn't still be repeating itself after all these years:-(

Mrs O has come out of this the better person I think and MiL will know that, so victory is Mrs O's.

What is a sumsung tablet ? some kind of pill ? I hate Toblrone even more than other chcolate .

I could write a book about my ex-in laws. Ex not because they're dead but all links were broken as soon as my husband died; blessing really but a shock at the time. What some MILs don't understand is that their sons suffer due to their wives not being accepted, after all, this is the woman they love and the family aren't showing them respect.

Mrs. O, I'd see it for what it really is and laugh at it. Mothers-in-law can sometimes be very jealous people - and if they're old bats, you can rarely change them.

Having said that, my mother-in-law used to be a bit of an old bat to me - until I told her she was biting the hand that feeds her. Suddenly she improved towards me. ;o)
