Family feuds
« on: July 18, 2007, 09:24:18 AM »
The only person I know who can get the better of Mrs Nick is her SIL. point:

On Monday they got into some sort of dispute and Mrs Nick came home muttering oaths and declaring that she would "never speak to her again" (which is idiotic, since they live nearby).

Yesterday I phone the SIL (who I quite like) and smoothed the whole thing over, or so I thought.

The SIL called last night. I picked up the phone and she said "Does Mrs Nick never accept any criticism?" eeek:

I said, "No, but perhaps you would like to ask her yourself" and handed the phone over. I then left the house and stayed out till VERY LATE.

Mrs Nick in full Growler mode this morning  scared2:

You have to be kidding me?!?! What sort of a thing to say is that! I'm not suprised Mrs Nick is  evil: I certainly would be. Blood relatives wouldn't dare say that to me never mind the in laws!  evil:

Wimmin do tend to be a tad... 'set in their ways'.


I really do have to be careful to inject a 'No dear' into every 9th 'Yes Dear' just to appear to be listening...

Being on second marriage I can tell you that "Yes Dear" is often the wrong answer and "No Dear" can be even worse.
I find an interested and eager expression, coupled with a sage nodding of the head (slowly as that can be taken as being either in sympathy or in agreement) with the odd grunt followed thrown in until, when she pauses for breath, you get in quickly with "I'd really rather leave it to you darling ~ I know I can trust your judgment and you know what I'm like (raised eyebrows at this point help) in these situations" covers just about every eventuality.

Wenchy - now what on earth is a ''blank sorry cheque'', please explain because if it is as patronising as I possibilly think it is in my mind at the moment I think I will have to come along and help you dispose of Mr. W  evil:
