….just not in the same room. 13 years of marriage it never gets better. I’m now regretting this open plan living when I’m trying to cook.

I was so expecting, “but which ones better – theres only one way to find out!”

Man they drive me nuts! I can’t slip off to my study or bike room.

go for a ride to the shops 😉

give ’em £20 and send them to the pub for an hour

The exact same problem here. They bring out the worst in each other, and I can’t/won’t choose between them.

I just try and keep the kids out the cross fire.

my wife gets on with my mother better than I do.

OP, are you saying your mum is your wife?

Is confused..

Are you from Norfolk ?

Yeah but which one’s tidier?

Within 4 seconds of Mrs.C and my mum being in the same room I am ready to commence stress induced immolation.

I can’t even go on…. Without losing… Hair.

CAN YOU BOTH NOT TALK ABOUT ME AS IF IM NOT HERE AND YOU BOTH KNOW WHATS BEST OMFG WHERE’S DAD!?*
*Married, again. Not to my mum. Lucky arse.

I’m basically 14 whenever mum comes to stay.

Are you from Norfolk ?

🙄

Or perhaps Wellington?

He’s definately not from London.

Dry your eyes. My mother sent a Xmas card just to me and deliberately omitted any mention of my wife…

Over the past 3 days my mum and other half have been arguing via text message about whether or not our little boy should be potty trained yet. Somehow I got caught up in the middle of it, not a pleasant place to be. Ended up having to tell them both to stop being childish and actually speak to each other on the phone as a lot of what they were saying via text was getting lost in translation at the other end.

I would simply not entertain any relative if they were in the slightest way rude with my Mrs, its really simple just chuck em out and shut the door on them, the onus is on them to adapt.

My Mrs and mum had a big fight before and I didn’t see my parents for nearly a year until everyone calmed down and it has been better since.

I love your mum too, say hi to her for me 😉

Oh, that’s ice cold boardinbob!
