Plum Island

Plum Island

Since so many of us have FMIL issues and in my case FSIL issues also. I thought we could start a list of the reasons that Plum Island should now be used as In Law research.

I'll start:

1) More marriages would be given a fighting chance!

2) Less stress- less grey hair-- less dye jobs-- SAVE MONEY

3) Peace and Harmony

4) No spliting the holidays

Re: Plum Island

Is this limited to MIL's or can ANY inlaws be experimented with?

Re: Plum Island

Any in law

But to add...
No more dry turkey on Thanksgiving...

No more spoiled birthdays!

No more guilt trips...

Oh, there's so many more reasons!

Re: Plum Island

No more adding 1200 people to the guest list without contributing a penny.

Re: Plum Island

No more telling me that because of MY wedding she needs to spend the money to rip up her carpets

No more, WHY ARE YOU TREATING ME THIS WAY WHEN I HAVE CANCER, when in fact, she does not have cancer and has not had it in like 5 years.

Re: Plum Island

No more telling me how incredibly busy her days are when in fact she has no job and sits in her pjs until 6pm and plays gameboy all day

Re: Plum Island

No more saying to my mom 'I am good at managing things' for my shower, again not contributing a penny.

No more telling me to cut my parents guests from the list (when they are paying) so we have room for their friends.

Re: Plum Island

Limits set your limits tell DMIL that she has X number of people that she can invite- period!

Re: Plum Island

We are so done- we cut so many people, and a lot of their guests. I was against it at first, but it is his family so F it!!

Re: Plum Island

Swags you are so funny!

Ok, my reasons are:

To prevent being called 'Kerry', former girlfriend's name, when name is 'Gabrielle'

To harness the power of breath when screeching about wedding plans as source of alternative energy

To experiment, a la Pavlov, with birthdates. Say 'March 23', and give FMIL food and water. When March 23 arrives and there is no recognition of birthday, take all food and water away.
