I suggest going through their things when they come to visit and making snide comments about what they own, take, wear, act, etc. For instance: Grandma forgets something at home. Tell the kids that grandma is getting forgetful in her old age and needs to reminded of everyday tasks– like washing her hands, brushing her teeth, combing her hair.

Yes, trading blowjobs for chores and whatever does work. It really, really does. Otherwise nothing would ever get done by my husband around here.

I have to agree- you have to sit down and tell your in-laws it’s not acceptable for them to throw away items you paid good money for. It’s just NOT- specially in this economy. And I would also tell them that under no circumstances should they speak about you in a negative fashion- it’s just RUDE and most likely it has upset your children very much. If someone spoke badly about my mother as a child I would have freaked.

I’d have this conversation at THEIR house and if MIL gets upset and starts crying and doesn’t even listen I’d say that if they can’t follow your simple requests then you have no choice but to not have them come over anymore until they are ready to accept what you have said.

Seriously if my MIL threw out my children’s shoes and spoke ill of me I’d be livid.

Men need to realize that the sexual favors thing works in reverse too. When household chores are done, and all is right with the world, women tend to be more relaxed and perhaps more interested in sex. When you’re not worrying about getting stuff done, it’s a lot easier (and better).

Yes. YES. I agree. I TOTALLY agree. Dave would throw me under a bus, I have no doubt. Or at least, he’d want to have a conversation with the bus about me.

You know, if I only manage to teach my son one thing, it’s this “Put your wife first – and always stick up for her – to ANYONE, even me.” I wish the generation above us had taught our husbands that.

I don’t think it would work for Dave, but he’s a weirdo.

I’d prefer to hire someone because I can then chew them the shit OUT if it’s not done right.

Dude. YES. My IL’s make me feel NORMAL and WELL ADJUSTED. Ha.
