Sjoh, difficult one.

Have you shared your concerns with your wife? What's her feelings on the matter?

Better learn live with her if you don't want trouble.

Maybe your wife will be OK with the storage issue and she should agree that has to be sorted. As far as your MIL is concerned I wouldn't say anything.

If anything, I'd at least have them pay for the place to stay

..live with you until they find a house of their own?

Now what if said persons job is an estate agent?

Now what if you had to switch that extra geyser on and its costing an extra R1500 a month thats coming out of YOUR own pocket.

Now,you cant use your bar anymore cos all their schit is taking up all the space - meaning no more inviting the boys over for boys night.

Thoughts pls.

I have just gotten out of this very situation after helping a friend out for almost 5 months. 3 months was okay but it became too much. Dogs included.

I'd have to be beyond high/in a coma.

I think if you can have you bar (boys cave back) you'll be happier.

Is there not an outside building the old lady can live in. Then maybe have meals in the house and such. It will give her and you 2 a bit of seperation time, so to speak.

Smoking herb makes one temporarily forget, then 2-3 hours later those bad feelings come back and im back to square one.

That's not a bad idea. Give the wife an ultimatum. Throw your toys out of the cot and let her make the decision.

I wouldn't take on the mother in law directly. Just make sure you behave like a complete ******* by the wife so she gets the point.

Are you married? Ultimatums and wives don't go together. They issue them. They don't receive them.

Switch off your phone and disapear for a couple of days. When you get back tell your wife you want to have a normal marriage where you are only married to one person because the current situation is too much for you.

The idea is to come back all dirty and confused and to "never talk about what happened"

Hehe. A man with experience. So true. ;)

(Yes, he's shackled. Can't have a mother-in-law without being married.)

Mom in law.


Its been a full year of this already.

Fek .... Listen pal, if you want to move to the East Coast, let me know.

Can come stay with me for ... well not sure how long, because thats the purpose of this thread ... in any case, you can bunk at my house 'till your mother in law moves on.

I really feel your pain. Had my bitc... er ... mother in law stay with us. 3 weeks, and I left. 2 days later the old hag was gone and no longer talks to me - but that an added bonus.

Ah. Makes sense now. I thought the "you" was OP. I am sloppy.
