Mother in laws!?

[mtg4772]

Wtf?! My mother in law is worse than a drill sergeant. She is always there...Always. So much so that when my wife gets home I can't get in the word hello before they go off on their female dialogue.

What to do to send her away? I've tried direct commo but no help. She's making me suicidal.

Maybe you just need to leave them alone and brew more. They'll be at each other's throats eventually, and then you can have your wife back.

Thanks for the feedback. I know this was an off topic post but I'm a bit frustrated. I'm due for a brew day.

Your wife is the one that needs to lay down the rules

 

[nasty_rabbit]

Where do they hang out? If its in the kitchen. Walk in in your drawers, scratch you nuts, grab an apple with out washing your hands and offer it to her. If its in the living room. Sit on the couch in your drawers scratching your nuts and then offer her some unwrapped dinner mints. See the common thread here? In your drawers scratching your nuts. You will either get rid of her OG get a date!

I can sympathize with you but no matter what I can assure you my mother in law is much much worse

Wait, aren't you the guy who had a problem with your girlfriend putting things in random places in the house?

It is it is. He married her.

Sounds like worse things are in his future.

Is she hot? May ask her if she'd be willing to swing, see what that gets you.

 

[nasty_rabbit]

Maybe his MIL can help him find what was lost.

Omg! Is this really the same guy?

Shoot yourself and end it now.

I agree....but shoot them first.

Ive had three mother inlaws never had any luck with any of them, it finally beat my addiction to wedding cake!

 

[Beer-lord]

I'm very lucky. I'm crazy about my MIL. She even bought me a kegerator for my birthday in May though she doesn't like my beer.
I agree, your wife has to set some rules at your house. It's awkward but needed.

I feel your pain. I hate to imagine what life would be like if mine was in the same town. Don't get me wrong, my in-laws are great people, however their version of "family togetherness" is way too much for me. Their favorite thing to do is to all eat a big meal, then sit around in the same room talking about absolutely nothing, and call it "visiting". I opt to go outside and cut their grass just to avoid the torture. When I get done with the grass I start washing cars.

Eventually they decide it is game time, so they move to the kitchen table and I go back inside and watch TV and enjoy a beverage (or 12).

My life would be perfect with out the In law. No just showing up with out permission. Lol. Damn it would be nice lol

 

[Obliviousbrew]

Eat a lot of sauerkraut with tons of beer and fart, that will keep her away.

You've got to talk with your wife. Communication seems like a continuing problem in your relationship.

Bring 12 roses. Look from one to the other. Take 1 rose out of bunch, give to MIL, a kiss on the cheek and whisper "do you want grandkids?"
Give other 11 to wife, kiss her passionately and tell her you want her attention. Wait to see reactions.

If you're lucky, she'll decide to hide something for you

 

[Obliviousbrew]

I can´t believe that with such experienced brewers noone has actually tell him what to do, so I´ll chip in.
Mash your mother in law for 1 hour at 151, batch sparge, boil for 90, hops additions @60 @15 @5 @flameout your target are 50 IBUs, which hops? whatever hops you like... hops are not a concern if you already decided to mash your mother in law. Chill to 65F, pitch yeast, one week primary, 3 weeks secondary, 15 years i jail an voila!
Hope this helps

I LOL'd...
Now I know why they call you "Nasty Rabbit"
Regards, GF.

I guess I've been married too long. Who the f&*% wants to talk to their wife. I'd be happy not to have to deal with some mindless banter. Mine is going on a business trip this week and I couldn't be happier. LMAO

I for one, am not buying it. This guy just likes to start obnoxious threads on the internet and watch the reactions. He didn't have a girlfriend who hides his stuff. He didn't marry her. No MIL. Probably no girlfriend. Seriously, what are the odds that he tied the knot already? And why keep posting to a beer forum looking for relationship advise?

Personally, I find that MIL's have too much tannin and astringency for my taste. I prefer to use them as mulch on my hops.
