Funny things my MIL says

I have only sons, and these threads make me so sad.

My MIL told me there was no way she could retire because there was no one else who could do her job. She is a secretary

There are secretaries who keep the office afloat, and lawyers who are eminently replaceable. And plenty of out-of-work lawyers to replace them.

This thread isn't mean. I could also give you a list of funny things my Mom says.

It's funny b/c her MIL said it, and MIL's can't open their mouths w/o saying something funny or stupid. Isn't that the point of this thread?

WHen I was pregnant with my first DC my MIL told me I will need a c section because my hips simply aren't wide enough. As I was 8 cm dilated and still planning to vaginally deliver she pulled my husband aside and said "we need to get her out of here, these whack-a-doodle doctors think that a ________ (insert family name here) baby can fit through those skinny underdeveloped white hips?!?!

She speaks another Asian language fluently but didn't know the word for dimples, instead she said my son has 2 holes on his face.

"Give the kids these Snickers. They're healthy--they have peanuts!"


Her son is about as nutrition savvy.

I have only sons too and I ADORE my MIL. This could totally be 'funny things my parents say.' No big deal.

"I just can't find a hairstylist who can do a great cut and color."

My MIL has said this for nearly 20 years and she has short, layered, bleached blond hair. Not that complicated, nor special. I've sent her to Red Door, to my own excellent hairstylist and she is always dissatisfied!

Her solution now...drive into PG county an hour away to some cut rate salon for color, then she trims her own hair. Anything to save a buck or two!

Um gross. Does she get that you and DH engage in physical activities that she presumably doesn't with her son!?
