in-laws

i dont want to sit here and rip on my mother in-law all afternoon because she brought my wife and soulmate into this world, but i do want to point one thing out. she does not believe in the dishwasher. she comes to "help out" around the house, yet spends 2 hours hand washing dishes when you can just toss them into the dishwasher and do other shit that would actually help us out. also, my dad offered her a glass of wine when we had all our family in town at the same time for the birth of our daughter, and she accepted, and then i caught her dumping it down the sink. i mean come on. just decline the wine. ARGH.

"That wine was cheap shit, Fred."

What's her reason for not "believing in the dishwashers"?.. Sounds absurd to me.

i dont know. she didnt have one growing up so i guess it's out of her comfort zone.

lol

Took a biology class in college and has access to the internet which evidently has made her more knowledgeable than any doctor. Actually, the same principle holds true for most of her beliefs. Took a politics class in college and has access to the internet and thereby makes her the only person who understands how to fix all America's problems. Took an art class in high school and has access to the internet and she is now the world's most cultured art critic.

Whatever duder.

very interesting indeed

Latina Mother in Laws Dude! mine is exactly the same way... doesn't use a dishwasher. There are many other things about her that make me cringe, but I won't get into that!

her over protectiveness of my children for one... she sees something small on the ground, picks it up and tells us not to leave it around because the kids will choke on it... she tells us in spanish which is probably more annoying.

She's a total downer... bringing up news of the day she saw on telemundo constantly... a trait which has moved on to my sister in law... my sister in law once told us of some beheading of a child while she was over for dinner... I picked up my plate and ate the rest of my dinner outside in the patio.

Always trying to give advice... actually this is my father in law. He's always trying to give some sort of advice about cars, or a house... I always tune out because his cars are always being repaired and his house looks like shit.

she did the dumping of the beer too after my sister offered it to her.

Her voice is grating.

ESO ES ESO ES

oh my god thanks man i salivated while reading all of this. a lot of this is the same for me, ESPECIALLY the voice thing. cant stand her voice! also she tried to name our daughter. tried to push the name "bernadette" on us. come on, man! also she left all these blankets and shit in the crib. that's a choking hazard man! plus it looked like my baby was sleeping in a pile of trash!

this dumping of the wine thing... she doesnt know i caught her doing it. i'm not going to offer her wine in my house ever again unless she asks. then i will tell her it's not the kind of wine that you can just pour down the sink. can't wait for that.

the voice though man. so weird you said that.

oh also she has reflux and is CONSTANTLY clearing her throat. CONSTANTLY. and she wont take any meds for it. come on man!

LOL... I forgot to mention that my inlaws were over this past weekend. and my son Liam who is 5 years old said "It's time for you to leave!" and they were hurt by it... my wife blamed me too!

but what he was doing was mimicing the clone trooper in episode 3 when he told Senator Organa "It's time for you to leave!" But she still blamed me.

I found out that a lot of older Latino/as believe in "aire." Like wind or air can get in your body through your eye and give you backaches and shit. It's hot as hell in Oregon in the summer, but if I put on the ceiling fan my mother-in-law will take her dinner and eat outside. Sorry I'm drunk right now. :sup:

LOL! I can't wait till this girl can speak. I'm going to get thrown under the bus so bad. every 3rd word out of my mouth is a curse, there's no way i'm not going to get busted for that.

back to the mother-in-law... dude!!! she arrived at my house, straight off the plane, with no luggage!! no toothbrush!! no fucking luggage!! she's here till sunday.

what's worse is that she always leaves shit here when she visits as if she's moving in one article of clothing at a time. so a few months ago i piled all her shit in a suitcase (the suitcase was hers too that she left behind) and tossed in the basement. well now i have to go down in the fucking basement and get all of her shit. it's like all of this was premeditated! have fun staying up with my baby all night long tonight! cry away my daughter! wail your sweet night wail like you've been doing for 3 weeks. gotta earn your stay in this house knowhatimsayin

oh my lol that's the kind of shit i'm talking about.

oh god... has she told you any crazy sorcerer's remedy for any type of cold or anything? Fuck I can't remember any now because when she talks about this shit I normally zone out.

and the Jackets and Sweaters in Summertime! and she still complains when we have the ac on!

hahahah, that liam's a little classic. ;-]

Also, no way she's gonna dig on your long winded fail-ready star wars excuse.

my mother in law is Filipino. holy balls the shit this lady does blows my top. when she baby sits she thinks my son wants to sleep nine hours a day and is always putting him in his crib even when he is wide-eyed and making noises. she thinks it's cold when it's 95 degrees out and will wear a sweater if we are outside. she thinks I can't find pineapple at the store so whenever I see her I get 3-4 tupperwares full of "fruits" that I need to eat in a week. I could go on forever.

I hope my mother-in-law doesn't read this.
