What would you do??

Little Chef?

grrr mother in laws ay stick with the wife if i was you

Gen I would say stick with missus.

Maybe the kids will change her mind?

What was it over?

This was meant to be a big deal. Its my parents 50th Wedding anniversary I scrimped and saved to have a special day

Ain't Christmas great? :)

They got married on Xmas Day?
Your missus should be more gracious.

aint all mother in laws battle axes , it's alwasy them that spoil christmas

my mother in law has invited herself twice so far, and decided she aint coming twice, shes a pain in the feckin arris.

Do 'some magic' on them both so it somehow works out really well, while acting**y and smarmy the whole time. Then explain how you did it at the end of the show.

Sorry they got married on the 27th I thought it would be a nice gesture. My mum has cooked every year. Thought she deserved a break

To be honest Mr Brown, if you are smart enough to pick the facking lottery numbers then you should have seen this coming.

I saw it comin ages ago to be fair. There has been an argument due for ages. But not 3 day before bloody Xmas

You'd be better off gay, Mr Derren Brown.

Call your wife's bluff.

Or play Russian Roulette again, at £150 a head you could save quite a bit.

I would speak to the wife explaining lifes to short etc etc.

Ask her how she would feel making you fall out with your own mother,if she does'nt care about that.................

Maybe stop for a game of football before lunch and tell her that hostilities can recommence at 6pm.

selfish bi,.tches

^ derren may I ask how old is she ?

ie are you a young couple ?

I am 35 moved out at 17. Children 10 and below.

tell the wife that mum is writing her will and so you should play happy families.

^ derren may I ask how old is she ?

* not serious the post above. but some sort of bribe so that wife will "put up" with mother every so often even if they really hate each other

sorry she's 37

It sounds a lot of money. (it is a lot of money). But no more / less than throwing some sort of party with friends family etc

If shes 37 and not listening to reason there is not a lot I can say,last roll of the dice would be, how would you feel if something tragic happened to my mother and you denied me the chance of a family xmas dinner ?

but tbh she does sound like someone who would not listen to reason so I hope everything settles down and she sees sense,merry xmas.

Ty hearts.
Posting is a kind of release. No one else to discuss it with.
I've had a large glass of wine and a beer. Hopefully things will calm down by Xmas eve.
I'm gonna buy a turkey tomorrow just in case.

I hope that is to eat. And not replace the missus.

If it's a hotel, maybe you could get a credit note and treat your parents to a few days there?

Hi there Derren.......Mrs Hearts here.............. I can understand the wife but at this time of year its all about give and take............ no-one knows the future and deep down she really does understand . she has kids of her own and one day they will grow up.especially the boy..

"£150 a head."

THE HEAD NEEDS LOOKING AT

boyd are always the apple of mummys eye.......... :)

YEAH, how would the mad ** expect her son to treat her when he is older?

wimmin! bliddy control feeeeeks

*boys

LOL Mrs Hearts.
Are you okay with the amount of time Mr Hearts spends on the forum??
He always makes for an enjoyable read.
Merry Christmas to you both

Tommy Boyd?

ie how would your wife feel if her son was put in your position by his wife ?

Hi there Derren.........gives me peace :) thing is he looks after me and makes sure i,m alright by shouting downstairs after mer lol...

ffs the wifes spelling is worse than mine ;\

I would speak to your mother and get her to make the first step and apologise/make up with your wife. Seems like your mother has more to lose in this situation as it is her day that will be spoiled.

Time is a great healer on these things and you still have some time to go. Hope it goes well.

Hearts, get mrs H to open an account and get a chatname.
This time next year you'll have your own show Richard and Judy Anne and Nick.
Honestly, I have a grin on my face. Has Mrs H posted before?

could Mrs H kindly make her way to the 'Bashing the back door in' thread

On the odd occasion Derren when I'm in the toilet,the rest of the night I've spent denying the fact I'm gay ;\

What was the row over?

you know what you always stick with the wife unless the ** is that bad. The m/i/l could drop dead any time...

It's not his mother-in-law, it's his mum.

mums are priceless imo :)

interference
My mother has a habit of offering uneccessary advice / letting herself in/ expressing an opinion.
^ she did all 3 today Mrs B had enough and let rip with both barrels
It wasn't a problem when we lived 200 miles away. My WIFE wanted to move here cos she liked it.


Oh my mum has been told how her antics can offend.

Im gonna get an early night good night all. I'll let u know how tomorrow goes. I might raffle the lunch for charity if it ges completelt t1ts up

^ I bid 50 shillings B-)

good luck m8 ;)

You should tell your mum not to interfere before your missus has to let rip.
You should tell your missus you aren't wasting £750 and to get real.

Hearts.
You are confusing the words raffle and auction.

:(

This was meant to be a big deal. Its my parents 50th Wedding anniversary I scrimped and saved to have a special day
no problem for you mate, just walk up to a tote window at crayford, hand over a ticket and tell the cashier it's a winner and she'll just pay up ;)

Any news Derren?

You should tell them both to grow up because life is too short for this...

I lost my mum this past summer and with no parents left I now fully realise just how precious the time is when they are still with us.

Don't find out the hard way....

^ cant argue with the knight tbh.

c'mon Derren give us the good news and say she has relented ?

Good evening.
Sorry I haven't been able to post. In a bizarre twist of fate the gods threw a curve ball working to my advantage.
We have had a power cut. A very long, cold power cut. An all day no leccy job.
For the good of the kids I had to phone good ol' mum and take em there to keep warm. Mrs B burst into tears and apologised.
The rest is history.
Lets hope they don't get pi**ed xmas day and fall out again.
Happy Xmas forum.
P.S Ty Santa or whoever wangled the leccy ;)

a heart warming outcome :)

At least you haven't wasted your cash. :)
