My MIL is literally nuttier than a squirrel turd and I can think of LOTS of other things I would rather do than be around her for example:
- have a vaginal exam
- exercise
- gargle with listerine for 15 mins.
- have a vaginal exam, while I have a yest infect (oh yeah, shes that bad)
- spend 3 solid days with DH judgemental old school German grandparents OPA and OMA love them but they can drive me up the wall.
- clean up dog poo
What about you guys?
Re: Things you would rather do than be around your MIL (just for fun)
oh what a fun post, let's see!
watch paint dry, clean the house top to bottom, gain ten pounds, write a 20 page thesis about absolutely nothing and have it graded, and the list would and could go on and on.
love this post!
ANYTHING. my MIL is paranoid schizophrenic and delusional. So, I think even grocery shopping would be better..... Run a block, dental work, walk on a broken leg. I think we all have things we would rather do!
ditto the root canal with no novacaine comment.
Soak papercuts in salt water
Pluck individual hairs off of my body
Walk across hot coals
The list goes on and on.....
Try on bathing suits
get a bikini wax
watch random crap on the History channel with MH
potty train my kid all over again
deal with blow out diapers
change my own oil
chop onions
edited to add: Lucky me I get to spend a week with MIL starting the 12th. And I can't drink. At least we'll be in Hawaii. I plan to bring a pair of headphones and plug them in my iphone and not listen to anything just look like I am when I read. So I can actually read without getting talked at.

OK....I'll take this opportunity to brag. But my MIL is seriously awesome. IMO, my own mom is probably nuttier than my MIL is.
Can't say I feel the same way about ALL my ILs though.
I agree with the PP about licking my cat's butt rather than spend time with select ILs.
I wish that MIL could move to GA. Ideally, she'd buy the house next door and be the caregiver to LO during the day. It's not going to happen anytime soon, but in my ideal and selfish world it would.

Eeeew.
My MIL isn't as bad as all that, but I would probably rather eat lunch with members of the Westboro Baptist Church and tell them I'm not a believer.
