Vent

[Anonymous]

Purely a vent. Nothing I can do about it.

I can't freaking WAIT to febreeze my whole house. FIL somehow manages to reek up the joint like smoke and an every 3rd days shower. Even with staying in a hotel at night and obviously not being allowed to smoke in my home! Doesn't help that I am pregnant so my sense is probably a little heightened. MIL has had some seriously questionable taste in men. At least they are leaving tomorrow so I can deal with the smell just a bit longer. Its just so annoying to be so sensitive to it.

It makes me nauseous. No idea how you tolerate it. Yuck.

Well before this pregnancy, I tolerated all things FIL with a good dose of red wine

Maybe you can swab some Vicks under your nose to mask other smells, like the pathologists do. ;D

With my luck, the Vicks would make me queasy too.

Can I pile on your vent?

Arrived at in laws today. Their tree has 1200 pink lights. The entire room it's in glows pink. It's like being in a Barbie factory.

Every time I ask my daughter to clean up, my MIL jumps in and says "I'll do it," never mind the fact that she's at the age where reinforcing things like cleaning up her toys is critical.

And nothing, nothing, nothing is childproofed. Every surface is covered in fragile and or dangerous items.

It's going to be a fun 4 days.

Omg, my MIL reeks like a chain smoking cheap whore in a Glade air freshener factory. And then pouts and makes snide remarks about how she misses "her baby" so much because I make excuses to take him away from her after 30 minutes or so because every moment his poor preemie lungs have to breathe in her toxic filth is one moment closer to my divorce and his asthma or worse.

I HATE her smell, and it lingers for DAYS on our furniture after she comes here. It's like the stink in Seinfeld's car in that Seinfeld episode. It's like an entity of its own.

I seriously kind of can't wait for her to die so that my child will no longer have to breathe in her toxins just so I can avoid fighting at every major holiday with my husband, who prioritized his mom's filthy habits (not just smoking, but air fresheners, scented candles, and perfume) over our baby's lungs.

I'm an awful person for saying and feeling that, I know, but I do. I loathe her smell and can't see beyond it to even begin to try to like her.

I'm sorry. Smoking + Glade is seriously the nastiest smell combo possible.

I feel bad for your MIL, and I am usually sympathetic to DILs
