I'm done capitulating to my mother-in-law. We get along fine, but there's been a power struggle going on and I've decided it's time to settle things once and for all. Last night I got to hold my nuts to the fire and see if I was up to the task.
Last week my wife tells me she's having her mom and some of her friends over on Saturday night just for fun. Translated, this means her mom told her she was bringing some of her hi-faluting friends over to nitpick my wife's housecleaning and make "suggestions" on how to fix the house up.
Then they tell me that I have to lock up my German Shepherd while the guests are here because they are intimidated by dogs. Granted, he's intimidating if you don't know him, but screw you, this is my house. So as soon as everyone shows up and gets comfortable, here I come down the stairs with my ball python wrapped around my neck.
Of course once the old ladies focus in and realize that's a snake draped from my neck, the whole house erupts with shrieking women jumping on the furniture and scrambling for the exits. After they find out that it's either this or the dog, they actually take my side and tell my mother-in-law that it's my house and she can't tell me to lock up my dog.
I let my dog out, let him jump right up on the couch while my mother-in-law cringed and downed her entire glass of wine in one gulp, and invited all the women back anytime.
