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

[General Zod]

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…

OMFG. That just defies all hint of logic or common sense.

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

I believe one is obligated to ones own mother & father. I remember my maternal grandmother ending up in a county run nursing home. The place reeked of urine and so many old folks cruising up thinking you were there for them. I had thought about bringing my grandmother a couple of Schlitz. Some low life stole my grand mother dentures.

I went before lunch. As lunch time drew closer they all forgot about whatever they were doing to go eat. A nice distraction time to leave.

My mom (alzheimers) and my father in law (mental illness) were both in a facility. My mom's was actually pretty nice, and she was like the den mother. My father in law's wasn't so nice. But having him at anyone's home was not an option.

In my line of work I see many these days with long term care policies. They get to stay at some really nice places instead of whatever Medicare pays for.

And unfortunately, medicare doesn't pay for much long term care without interruptions.

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

@pronstar your home life would make a best-selling novel and a
#1 tv series. Don't mean to be rude, some of your stories are funny.
What are you going to do when the garage is finished and she floods that bathroom?

I think at that point he walls up the connecting doorway to the garage.

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…

I threw my in laws out of my house….twice. And they were only visiting.

Just sayin….

The next day he would see water running under the doorway.

My wife and I are moving near her daughter, but not close enough for her being accused of plagiarism of Pronstar's "living with the inlaws"

 

[Dad_Roman]

I know its a long ole row-to-hoe but Im tellin ya.

Wait till they been gone for 10 years see how everyones feelins are.

Make your decisions with this in mind.

Id give anything to have to deal with an overflowing toilet.

...one more flight on "Texas Raiders" with my Dad.

 

[baboon]

Replace the toilet with a bidet & remove all toilet paper.

Yeah wife and MIL are very close.
They just fight a lot, and make up a lot.

Always been that way, but my family life wasn’t like that so I’m not used to it.

Asians are passive aggressive and won’t tell you why they’re pissed LOL

 

[BRD@66]

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

Thanks to pronstar, I have gained a new respect for my MIL-who I NEVER got along with when she was alive.

 

[Tnhawk]

I've always said flowers on doesn't make up for neglect when someone was alive.

Yeah spending time with folks when they’re alive, sure beats regretting not spending time with them once they’re gone.

Add all your loved one not just you elderly folks. Life is really to short until the loved ones are gone.

Oh - that 'how to use it' conversation between his MIL and MrsPron would be priceless - along with the result's of MIL's attempts!!

 

[pronstar]

Ok so now I’m the problem because I “talk mean” :-( LOL
