Ben he lives in a flat. Unless he's got a balcony, his only option is an allotment, and honestly, no one is going to leave a shed like that on one of them.
Shed has a nice potential from the outside, but then when you go in you are confronted with a Liverpool plaque........ unless of course its a space saving integrated urinal as well...
That's a vast improvement on the nut job of a 'father of the other half' I have to contend with, and I'm not even living with her.
I've got the perfect setup: they can't understand anything I say, and vice versa. Consequently they seem to like me.
Actually, I've a workmate who converted his workshop into a bar. Might have to find some wood that needs planing or summat.
Just ignore her, she's trying to wind us all up. Plastic stuff should stay in the kitchen where it belongs. With the missus.
I have no sympathy, non what so ever. Big deal, you've got the in laws staying with you. When 'her indoors' tribe invades it's mother and father in law, 2 sisters, 1 brother, their partners and 4 kids. And a ****ing great big dog. Even my 'man cave' has to be converted into a guest room. It's total carnage, so whilst some of the less experienced in this field may feel sorry for you I don't. Soz HHH but this is child's play.
That's opening scenes from Home Alone scenario right there. And as for the man cave being soiled. It could surely never be the same afterwards. But you have just reminded me I've also got two dogs coming over as part of the package.
Been married for 47 years and have never had any.( include brother/sister- in - laws). Am I missing out?
Well of-course you are. You are missing out on the character building,self deprecating humility that can only come from the poorly disguised loathing one gets from one's in-laws.
Well my wife and I are the in-laws to my three married kids (two sons/one daughter). Lessons learned ...don't talk politics, dont get mad at the kids, compliment the cooking. Probably not much help to you but it keeps the atmosphere cool. Daughters in law can be very touchy. Keep your wife on a short leash. Lessons learned from 50 years of marriage
It depends. You can have comically hostile in-laws that don't really cause any harm, in which case, yes you are. Then you can have vile ones, ones where you think to yourself as you're looking at your other half "you'd be so much better off if both your parents died tomorrow than if they lived and kept treating you this way". You're not missing out on those ones, it's a horrible feeling when things are like that. That book was called Shades of Grey over here, "years of marriage" indeed.
Unlucky, they will take control of proceedings. They'll tell you how you do things is the wrong way to do them. Suffer in silence if you treasure your Mrs! A cross word, we know which side she will take! (It won't be yours!)
