    Ever watched Throw Mama from the Train.

    Might get a few ideas there.

    There's NO getting rid of her. In fact, you've married her future self. Any year now... Something for you to look forward to. :pac:

    I have a plan, I had originally written it just incase I'm asked to write the script of the "non serious death" in a CSI episode but it can be used for such a scenario.

    You have to bring her over to Vegas, to a party preferably on the top floor on a hi rise. It has to be on a warm yet rainy evening. There you need to have an ice sculpture be delivered to the top floor by crane. As the sculpture is delivered, have a few burly workmen get distracted and walk off leaving the ice sculpture on the edge of the building. Now you need to bring the M I L down stairs and outside for a smoke, under the ice sculpture. By some freak "accident" the ice sculpture falls, squashes the M-I-L, you walk off, remaining ice melts and dilutes into the rain. You fly home minus a MIL.

    Ah yes. Harper Lee's first, rather less successful, attempt at a novel.

    My MiL was a lovely person, wish she'd have been around to meet her granddaughter, she'd have been beside herself with the excitement. But know they're rare, from what friends tell me about their in laws...

    I can see some minor flaws.

    Mine lives 5 minutes away. I want to move. He won't. If she ever decides that she's moving in with us, then I'm gone. Not even joking. She truly is the manipulative b***h from hell

    I like mine although we don't see her as much as my mother because of distance.

    She's like an old skool, rural version of Prince Philip and comes out fantastic unPC chestnuts, especially if you egg her on.

    I'm surprised mine didn't poison herself with her own ghastly food.

    (tbf though, she's a really nice person, just has her obnoxious days)

    I'm not married but I always found the horrible mother in law interest from my observations of people I know and if I was told to pick a side I'd choose the mother in laws side in most cases.

    It might. I'm just basing it on the stories that I already know.

    Well in my case, my MiL was just a complete lady, a class act who doted on her only daughter but never once tried to interfere in her life or decisions except to support them, and us. Tbh I was probably more upset when she passed away than my own Dad...don't get me wrong, he was great, but his passing was a relief in the end as he'd had a number of strokes, her death was a complete shock.
