LOL :laugh::confused:

Man that sounds like it's out of a movie or something. I almost spit my pizza out when I read the baby bottle and Coke part. Someone's parent(s) need a swift slap in the head.

More than enough reason to find an excuse to move (as someone else said) more than a pick-up truck drive away.

it's all embarassingly real.

My wife might still have pictures on her phone from last years christmas at their place. I took pictures just because someone else had to see them.

My mother in law has told me tales of them going to buffets with ziplock bags and filling up.
Having to hide the silverware when they come over
The oldest daughter got fired from McDonalds because she couldn't make change even though the register told her how much to give back
The middle gran child on their side had to have both front teeth removed because they were rotted at age 3... I'm guessing the new baby is well on it's way to the dentist.
4 out of the 5 kids have different fathers

I could go on, but they are the family joke.

all of the fathers are from different "ethnic" backgrounds so they can't even lie to the kids and tell them they have the same dad. Not only that the grandkids live with the grandmother and the oldest 2 granddaughters take care of all of the other kids. The grand mother may be in her early 40's and weigh close to 300lbs.

As I said the pics will speak for themselves.

but at least you are not missing anything. Whenever we have my wife's family over something goes missing. usually food or such.

I purchased a cord of firewood a few weeks ago. almost a quarter of it is gone! but my in laws have a lot of firewood at there place.. we have dishes, food etc just disappear and end up over at one of there houses.

every time they leave we have to look and see what they took.

That made a lot more sense in this thread. :laugh:

Rage187, my friend, I feel your pain! I've got some in-laws very much like yours. I cringe each time my wife tells me they're coming over. Their kids are rotten to the core and manage to break something every time they're here. Of course, an apology is never issued by the parents. Heavens no.

And like another poster stated, my wife always gives me grief after they leave, saying I never try to like her family, I've never given them a chance...[blah blah blah]...

All of the above said, thank you for a great laugh! I guess the old adage is true: Misery loves company!

I will apologize in advance for not reading past this reply; it completely was MY reply as well.

The OP described my son's mothers' family to a "T." Except the big diff is that I never married her. I knew what she was, that's why I didn't marry her.

Of course, that begets the question" So why did you sleep with her?" A fair question.

Youth. Ignorance. Alcohol. I think that about sums it up. :eek:

I like you, Rage187; but I'm sorry. You're an idiot for marrying white trash. You get what you play for.

Things not to do when visiting my house:

1. Touch my TV remote.
2. Touch my TV remote and proceed to channel surf.
3. Sit in my designated chair.
4. Sit at the head of my kitchen table.

My sister's white trash boyfriend used to do this all the time. He'd waltz into the family room, plop his ass down in my chair, channel surf (away from the channel I was already watching), etc. When dinner came, I practically had to race his ass to my seat at the table.

Finally, they came over one day and he made his way to my chair.

"Son, get your fscking ass out of my chair. Do not sit your fscking ass in it every again, and do not sit your fscking ass at the head of my kitchen table. Do not touch the remote. Ever. A man's house is his castle. Respect my castle or stay the fsck home."

Not a peep and haven't had a problem since (of course, he usually stays home now, but that's fine with me... he treats my sister like sh*t).

Probably the best pwnage of mine in recent times.

Oh jeeze.... :disgust: that is so gross, especially the part with the baby.
That is a country western music video in the making! ;)
