Inlaws Are Coming (HELP)

[big rockpile]

Just got a call from my Inlaws said they was coming when DW gets home.I know the first thing they are going to jump all over me for buying High$$ stuff and spending all DW money No I can't hide it all.

I'm thinking either run for the woods let DW take care of it.Or just set here what ever happens happens Or just say yea it cost a bunch of $$ and double actual cost :1pig:

You could keep saying things like: "and this is your business...because...?" Or: "Are you needin' some extra cash?" Or: "Has my DW been complaining to you?"

Sounds good.Bad thing is they will say some to me,then catch DW alone tell her how no good I am.Their DS won't have anything to do with them now because of just about the same stuff.

You be a man, not a mouse!
They can't treat you like a louse!
Fight the good fight!
Stand up for your rights!
(Or go change the address on your house)

Don't you need to go fishing for a few days. There has to be somewhere that has too many fish. Rocky to the rescue!

[CraftyDiva]

Just consider the source and forget about it.Or you could tell them, "If you continue to disrespect me in my own home, your no longer welcome here", another option is make yourself scarce and not deal with it at all. Mayve your BIL has the right idea, avoid them all together.

I thought you said on here that you make more with your pensions/disability than your wife makes at all of her jobs?

So when they say you're spending Her money, speak up and say you make more so you're using Your money to buy the stuff.
Problem solved, tell them it's your money & you paid for your own stuff.

Or are you spending Her money for Your stuff??

[Cabin Fever]

What's all this "her money" and "my money" stuff? I thought you two were married?

I suggest you take the in-laws out for a nice supper at Drama King....I mean, Burger King.

[Ardie/WI]

Personally, BR, I think that you enjoy listening to your in-laws put you down.

Otherwise, you'd have told them off a long time ago.

Your DW has been married to you for many years.... I'm sure she already knows whether you're good or no-good!!!

Nothing they say will make any difference!

You know she loves ya!

I agree with Oggie, Mon Frere
For your Inlaws to trespass, how dare!
So make sure you win
And don’t let them in
Or your wife will say “Hon, sprout a pair!”

What if each time they ask you something you don't want to answer, just ask them, "do you want fries with that?" They will either be so annoyed by it, or think your nuts that maybe it will cause them to stop asking.

[big rockpile]

Well they came and went.DW did their Taxes for them.They didn't say a word,but it was funny,look at one thing New,then look at something Old,then back to something New I really found it funny.

Keep saying, "What?" and see how many times you can get them to repeat it before their heads explode.

I will be more than happy to let you borrow my ugly dog. Handsome sure has an act of making people leave before time!

Shortly after they arrive, excuse yourself telling them that you have $500 burning a hole in your pocket and you are going down to the casino to blow off some steam. Tell them with all the pressure you face and your stressful lifestyle you need a break every now and then to help keep things in perspective... maybe even invite them along...

let us know how it goes...

[big rockpile]

DW will hide things from them.Me I'll say hey come check this out.Heck I didn't know they didn't know we went back to our Church,I said something about a meeting we had up there.MIL jumped all over DW.Bought property at the Lake that they use to own.They came unglued about that.We got two New to us Vehicals,they jumped my DW saying that we should have fixed up the other Vehical.They sold me a Boat,I sold it,bought another one,sold it and bought the one I have now.Like my BIL said if I hadn't paid them for the Boat it would be something to be mad about,but I paid them in full it was mine.I came into an inheritance went on a trip by myself,DW was very uninterested in going but I was very bad for not taking her

But all this has been from the start 25 years ago,they thought it was good that their DD would not have to work again,but she still works and has worked up to three Jobs at a time.Her choice,plus she spends plenty herself but thats different

Hey I did invite them on a fishing trip to Louisiana they wouldn't go.Now get this! Because they could go fishing around here lot cheaper Heck I was paying most everything

Give them money for a trip,they went to the Casino spent $100,give the rest back to DW said she couldn't afford it.
