Pronstar’s “living with the in-laws” adventures

[Brains]

I feel for ya, tough situation.

Almost forgot this gem…

FIL parks in a odd place.
He likes parking literally right up against some construction materials.

Mind you, I’ve got a million other places for him to park.

At any rate, last week’s winds blew some boards over into his car, breaking the back window.

You’d think he would find another place to park.
You’d be wrong for thinking this…he keeps parking there, more crap keeps falling onto his car, and he keeps blowing a gasket when it does.

When we first started looking to get out of Houston my FIL suggested to his daughter how we should puta double wide on their 3 acres. I think he was wanting to charge rent to pay down his debt. After explaining just how desperate her dad's wishes were it wasn't going to happen.

I hear they are going to have a memorial service for the wife this weekend. I never conceded to their request for some remains. I figure it's a pity party for them trying to figure out who is going to start looking after them. Neither grand kid care much at all for the old man an as the nephew put it "my dad asked that I look after grandmother". My long dead brother in law had a thing for hispanic chicks, something his parents both despised. The never held back on their hatred of their daughter in law nor the kids. The grand daughters 2 hours away & grandson about 3.5 hours away.

I'm hoping your wife was adopted so as to not have acquired the genetic defects to what sounds like can only be described as something worse than Downs Syndrome from the parental units.

Bad day today…but good for updates to this thread LOL

MIL has some eye issue, looks like pinkeye.
Pharmacist told her to quarantine at home, and it’ll clear up in a few days.

So she’s here washing all of the babies’ toys and Mrs Pronstar blows a gasket.

“You have pinkeye, stop touching things!”

“The pharmacist told me to isolate at home so that’s what I’m doing.”

“Did you tell the pharmacist that you now live in a house full of people including babies?”

“No”.

“Of course you didn’t, the pharmacist still thinks you and dad live alone. You need to stay inside your room until your eye is better”.

“The pharmacist didn’t say that…”

You can imagine how the rest of that convo went…

There more to come once I get Stetson to sleep, so stay tuned…

So the MIL and Wife don't see eye to eye. One has pinkeye the other sees red.

Thanks for the update @pronstar. Yes, it amused the hell out of me, but I'm sure not so much for you.

 

[Geezer]

@pronstar, I honestly feel guilty laughing at your expense. But, your stories are awesome and describe many family situations.

Part 2:
I walk into the kitchen and MIL wants to chat.

“Do you remember the that toilet flooded a few weeks ago?”

Of course, how can I forget…

“We’ll, it’s doing it again. It started about an hour ago but I didn’t want to bother you…”

“Wait, you let the toilet leak for an hour and you didn’t say anything???”

So I go into the bathroom and I’ve got another flood to deal with.

This time, I blew a gasket.

If any of you runs across some chromosomes, give me a shout. I’ve got some folks here who are clearly short one or several…

Would you rather see them both living in assisted living?

Nope, I’d much rather get my garage conversion done so we can have a small bit of separation.

We will assist them.

IMHO the only time assisted living is on the table, is if dementia or Alzheimer’s enters the picture.

I have a great appreciation of how some families take care of their elderly. I know of several, and I like it alot. Respect.

 

[baboon]

While they are not suppose to out in my neighborhood plenty of people live in campers. One place that I refer to as a Band of Gypsies I notice a very elderly lady living in a small one. I figure that old lady has it better then the old folks warehouse.
