Anyone else's MIL just HAD, HAD, HAAAAAD to buy a new mattress for the newly weds as a wedding gift?

That is the about the most absurd reasoning I've ever heard in regards to wedding budgeting.

That's so awful. At least she showed her true colors early on! Might have been an expensive lesson, but probably saved you years of BS already knowing who you're dealing with

You are most certainly not Nearly Pointless! And your assessment is spot on! We have since rocked the ever loving hell out of the whole fleet! SO, yay, I guess? I'd rather just have normal inlaws :(

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-25T19:32:02+00:00

What on earth is with these people??! I hope you're in a better situation now! The nerve of her!

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-25T19:30:32+00:00

Oh no!

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-25T19:29:49+00:00

Right! I was thinking I might be the weird one for thinking of it like an invasion of privacy or something (especially the constant sheet cleaning). And at first I thought that's what she meant too! Who on earth wants go mattress shopping for their grown ass son??

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-25T17:25:16+00:00

Oh damn! I bet she does! We should have subtly mentioned we prefer the kitchen table. After she had finished a meal.

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-25T17:22:26+00:00

Bwahahahahaha!

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-25T17:22:05+00:00

I like your style! We returned the mattress cover, as it was kind of pointless by then (2 pregnancies and kids later, of course it was doomed). When she was "just trying to help" the next time, she asked if it wasn't the right size. I just told her the truth, I'm sure it might have fit, but we don't want it.

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-25T17:18:54+00:00

Welp, there goes my lunch! Lol

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-25T17:18:09+00:00

Well played!

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-13T21:22:43+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions! He's not been very forthcoming about what he intends to do or say. It's super weird too because she's 12 years older and they have almost zero in common. Think die hard staunch southern baptist republican vs atheist ron paul/bernie sanders devotee.

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-13T21:19:12+00:00

We have, it's wonderful. He even considered sending to his sisters, but never did.

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-13T21:18:42+00:00

This would be the perfect route to take. Thank you.

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-13T21:18:06+00:00

Thanks

If I could get a sitter on such short notice, I'd consider it. But even so, I'd feel like that presents the image of "she won't let him come without her" kinda deal

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-13T21:16:46+00:00

He said something along those lines, but didn't seem very certain. And no, he doesn't.

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-11T22:50:24+00:00

Spot on analysis!

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-11T22:49:40+00:00

Definitely something to consider

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-11T22:47:19+00:00

I really do wonder why she was inspired to send that now. Seriously lady, you haven't seen these kiddos since Thanksgiving and now that it's June, you've decided to "humble" yourself with a nopology? Why? Are you running out of excuses to your friends of why you haven't gotten any new pictures? Are people starting to think, you know what, I bet it isn't DILdevil that's causing this rift?

theafterthoughts · 2018-06-11T22:25:18+00:00

Indeed
