Mother in laws!?

[the_bird]

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?

The other post was started by mcarb.

The OP here is mtg4772.


Now, it SOUNDS like it's the same guy, but unless he's opened a second account, it ain't.

Mix some regular Dawn dish detergent with water and put it into a spray bottle. Then squirt there underbelly if you can. Or just enough that they will crawl through it and it gets on there belly. Ummmm wait a minute, that's for stink bugs......

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

Secondary is not necessary, primary is sufficient.
Also, NO GLASS CARBOYS and KEGGING is the ONLY way to go.

I stand corrected. I knew mtg was either the guy whose girlfriend hid everything or the guy who picked a fight with Airbourne for owning a pitbull. Flipped the coin and lost the bet.

 

[Hammy71]

Yeah, but my wife is smart _and_ good looking

That doesn't matter....ask Billy Joel.

 

[nasty_rabbit]

I definitely married up. My wife is very attractive but as for smarts, the only thing that I question is that she married ME.

Older and wiser, I have seen friends marry for looks and/or money and it has never worked out. Eye candy and cash are not a good foundation to build a relationship on.

I am sure that the MIL in this thread did not just develop this behavior. It had to be evident before the wedding day and the OP was either blinded by something more attractive or thought that the ring would change things.

My mother in law is more awesome than my wife... if only she were 30 years younger...

 

[bottlebomber]

The user ID isn't the same... Right? Or is it just me

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

That's when you open the door in your boxers, holding a pair of your wife's panties, and yell "honey I found where you threw them last night! Hi, mom, dad, come on in, we're still a bit dragged from last night, had a few friends over, mind helping us clean up?" You will catch 7 kinds of heck from your wife but the random visit problem will be over.

Don't forget to add turtle. Wait, wrong thread...

 

[Goofynewfie]

Walk into the kitchen completely naked, slap wife on butt wnhile looking at mil and say "your daughter is freaky" with a big smile on your face. Try this on a weekend

I'm curious what evidence there is that Christie Brinkley is anything more than a pretty face. I've heard people say she's smart, but I'm not buying.

Lol. So many levels of wrong.

My latest mother in law is nothing like that shes 4' 9", got a face like a bag of spanners and is bone idle, when it rains she won't bring the washing in on account she's the last person to find out it's raining.

 

[Blademaker]

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!

This has worked for me in the past. :cross:

 

[neosapien]

Just ask her if she'll do a shoot for the boneyard.

 

[leftcontact]

Show her the graham cracker beer label and tell her you need her to model for your clone of it.

 

[nickw85]

It is it is. He married her.

I'm new to the forum but as a noob to brewing and marriage. I hope to god your making enough beer to get through this. There is no way on earth I would have married my wife in a situation like that. You only get to pick one family member so you need to make it worth it. If your not spending time together your absolutely going to grow apart. Make a date night where its just you two and only the two of you. If that causes a fight get a divorce.

Im so confused...why is your MIL in your house? or is it her house? If thats the case sack the **** up and move.

 

[mtg4772]

How funny: me and this mcarb guy sound a lot alike, and the behaviors of our women sound alot alike too.

What can I say man, this relationship needs a lot of maintenance and more beer.

I'm lost too. Is she visiting too much or is it a live-in situation? Kyle

 

[mtg4772]

She was just here one day. I remember the conversation about maybe her moving in and i distinctively remember being against it. I've tolerated it because she does do the dishes and cooks (but the food is crap). But it's gotten to the point where they're the decision-makers and i'm a frickin side thought and the labor.

Thats just half of it: the other half is she has a condo 3 hours away where the rest of my in laws live. The condo is a clusterf*ck, hasn't been cleaned in decades. And I swear: this woman can write a daily newsletter about my comings, goings and doings, but instead she transmits this info via cell phone real time.

The strangest thing: if I'm mean to her my home stays clean. If I'm nice the home turns into a cluster. So I have to be an ******* all the time.

Commo is key: had the conversation, twice, with my wife and the MIL is leaving next week.

^^^This!!! I have been happily married for 14 years to the same woman, my first and only marriage! And let me say our relationship (wife, son and I) comes first. If we want the opinions or the company of any of our parents we will ask them for it. And let me say I believe that my MIL would pick me over at least one of the three boys she has in addition to my wife. We have a great relationship. But the gound rules were established early on, and when my FIL was still alive he helped enforce the "Rules" that we had established.

My parents have 7 marriages between them, and the most valuable of the many lessons I have learned from their relationship short comings is "Communication". I would suggest you to talk to her about this and come to some sort of resolution you can both agree on.

 

[the_bird]

I'm still confused about the actual situation (she was only there one day, but now you've talked to your wife about her leaving? )

If she is staying with you, I'd suggest being extra-loud and extra-filthy the next time you're having sex with your wife. Leave the door open a bit, too.

 

[sonofgrok]

Lol. So many levels of wrong.

Let me explain. My mother in law = former Thai go go dancer, current award winning cook, absolute sweetheart.

Don't get me wrong, my wife is absolutely awesome too... but sometimes (rarely) she gets that american girl attitude thing going and can dig in and be a real pain in the ass. lol

 

[Beer-lord]

Due to damage from Hurricane Isaac, my MIL is living with me for 2-2 1/2 weeks. Not a bother in the world. A sweet old lady who constantly thanks me for "putting up" with her. Like it's a chore. No way. Sure, I have to be bit quiet in the mornings when I go to work but I came home yesterday to a cleaner house and a great meal. I married her only child and she knows where not to 'step in it'.
I'm not saying I'd want to have her live with us but sometimes, you have to make sacrifices.

 

[mbauer013]

... Eye candy and cash are not a good foundation to build a relationship on...

Really I think that is the perfect thing to build a relationship on... not a marriage, but a relationship, oh yeah. Some of my best relationships were based on just that. Hey I don't have looks, but cash I have!

Brew up one of those medicinal marijuana cannabeers I saw on tv. Seemed to sedate people pretty well
