What is it they say about women ending up looking like their mothers?
Something to think about next time you're stoking the fire.
Any chance of getting anyone else to babysit? (i suppose the only reason we get out together a bit more often than you is the abundance of folk we can ask.)
I hope my MIL doesn't read stw, she is babysitting so we can go to a gig soon. Not Take That though!
Alternative babysitter is the only solution if MIL wants to play hardball.

Thankfully its her sister who has taken on this role... equally as fat, ugly and irritating - however does buy reasonable bike related xmas presents so i'll go a bit easier on her.
As ^^ IMO your MIL is being a selfish cow. Doesn't matter who you are going to see, it's a night out and she is trying to put the mockers on it. Find a babysitter and your wife should tell her to GFH.
Do you have access to her shoes?
Well it was a good show even if the music was a bit pish. Robbie Williams took the roof off the place which neither the four nor the five of them could even come close to.
The highlight of the evening was the woman standing next to me with the most unfeasibly pert breasts ever. It was decided after discussion with the wife that they must have been fake.
Pert breast woman wasn't MIL was it?
Here, have 10 million bloke points for getting away with talking about a cracking pair of tits that belong to another woman, with yer missus.
CM - nope. It wouldnt be so bad if she wasnt a fat waste of space.
TAFKASTR - I get away with far worse than that. 😀

Swinging?
Not tried that, but reasonably sure she'd let me off with it.
Have I missed something or do we still not know who baby sat?
Wife's brother baby sat.
I don't quite understand why you're married, when your choice of gig clearly demonstrates that you're gay?
My girlfriend likes Atari Teenage Riot.
As such, I don't foresee a similar scenario arising with her mother!
SBZ - not sure if you'd be interested in this, but I remember reading about an interesting tax loophole with your in-laws. It goes like this: if your in-laws are loaded, when your Father-in-law dies, his estate passes to your Mother-in-law free of IHT. You then divorce your wife and marry your MIL so that when she dies, the estate passes to you free of IHT (as you are now her spouse). You can then remarry your wife and the two of you can enjoy all the cash. Of course, the difficulty you'll have is persuading HMRC that you haven't just done all this to avoid IHT.
Glad you enjoyed the concert, full marks for the overt leching.
Q. What's the difference between the inlaws and the outlaws ?
A. The outlaws were wanted
Well one in-law is worth having then.
I became aware of Take That when in reply to "what sort of music do you like" young French females invariably replied "Take That". Intrigued I got one of them to bring in a tape and found myself humming this for the rest of the week 😕 :
Get back on good terms with ma in law, tell her you have bought some tickets to see Motorhead and she is welcome to come along
go out for a bike ride while shouting Take That......sorry, what were we talking about?
I don't get the hullaballoo surrounding Take That, and my wife is a massive fan, although she's not as bad as some:

My mum is visiting and gave me a Robbie Williams CD she got free in the Daily Mail. It's currently playing. Four tracks so far and I still haven't skipped one. Worrying.
