Lord give me strength

[CasaDooley]

My mother in law, her husband and 3 dogs just now showed up on my door step to stay with us for an undetermined time while they look for a house to buy and move into. Kind of a "Cousin Eddy" sort of situation.
Please pray for me!:r

Time for a trip to San Diego?!?!?!?!!?

Hang in there, Brother.

[CigarNut]

Been there and done that! Good luck -- make sure to find time to have a few sticks to keep you sane!

[Smokin Gator]

Oh my!!! I'll keep you in my prayers brother!!!

[Ogre]

Maybe this should be in the Prayers/Thoughts thread. LOL. Will keep you in prayers brother.

[CasaDooley]

Hang in there, Brother.

I am trying sooooooo hard to make this happen!

[CasaDooley]

I thought about that Larry, but didn't want to take away from those who truly need them. For me it's more of a sanity check Bro!:r

[TripleF]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh boy......best wishes bro!

[G G]

Wow

Praying the liquor cabinet holds up for you, Kev. ;)

[CasaDooley]

Update: They have only been here for 2 hours and already 1 of our "guests" has peed on the front entry rug!
I have to remind myself to be a gracious host for the first 2 weeks, but after that I fear this may turn into a "Thunder Dome" situation!:r

[CasaDooley]

Praying the liquor cabinet holds up for you, Kev. ;)

Thanks Tim! I stocked it pretty well knowing they were on their way, though I pray a blizzard does not come and sock us in over 4 days, as I only have a dozen bottles in there!

[Blueface]

God Bless!!!

After 72 hours, they will be stinking like old rotting fish left out for days with no refrigeration. It's a fact. The 72 hour rule is real.

After a week, you will wonder if there are ways to get away with murder.

I truly feel for you.

[TXRebel]

Seriously, if the dogs are not house broken, kick them outside. Best of luck with your Christmas holiday.

Carlo's, I am doomed!

I'm gonna have to start watching Court TV again, or as I like to call it, "The DIY Channel".

I truly feel for you.

:r

[pektel]

Kevin, my advice is to retire to the mancave. 2 strong drinks and a nice CC. Double corona or churchill (something that lasts a long time). Ready set go!

[Bunker]

Yikes!

I hope there is a man cave somewhere that can be locked from the inside.

[longknocker]

Good Luck, Kevin! Hang In There, Brother & Smoke One Every Chance You Get!

[GolfNut]

Oh crap. I could never do that....even when we DID talk to her......10 years ago. :r

I suggest taking up an away from home hobby.

[icehog3]

Kevin.....please promise to live by my code for as long as they stay:

"I'll become homicidal long before I'll become suicidal."


Good luck, My Brother....if you come to Chicago for a weekend, let me know, I got a spare room.

[RevSmoke]

You may not think this is a prayer thing, but I will keep you in my prayers anyway. Anytime family lives together for an extended period, no matter how well they get along, it can be stressful.

God's blessings upon you all, I will keep you in my prayers for strength and peace.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

maybe you should look for a new house and let them have your place :D

good luck........in time this to will pass

[Chingas]

Don't forget Jersey. Maybe it smells a little and can be dirty and downright nasty in other sections but honestly, it's PARADISE in comparison to the situation your in!:tu

Hang in there Brother!

[CasaDooley]

End of the day update: As far as I can tell, the only other things the dogs peed on were my boots and tennis shoes, I kept a civil tongue in my mouth and I only mildly PO'ed my wife. I am now enjoying a Hydrocodone (For my back) a glass of wine and an 07 HU Regalias. Life is good :ss
Thank you all for the positive and very funny thoughts, and please stay tuned for day 2 updates! :r

[Penzip]

Good luck;s;s

Just keep the homicide/suicide principle in mind until we meet again....or at least until your MIL's cats accidently get lost outside. :r

[Obscura]

Lord, Grant me the serenity to
accept the things I cannot change,
Courage, to change the things I can, and
Wisdom to hide the bodies of those people
I had to kill because they pissed me off.

And also,
Help me to be careful of the toes I step on today,
As they may be connected to the ass that I may
have to kiss tomorrow.

[CasaDooley]

Just keep the homicide/suicide principle in mind until we meet again....or at least until your MIL's dogs (the size of cats) accidently get lost outside. :r

Fixed it for ya Bro!:r
BTW, I told my wife that the next time those dogs pissed on my boots, I'd leave em outside until they looked like Jack Nicholson did at the end of the Shining!:r

GL, Today, Kevin!:tu

[Martel]

Best of luck with this... you're a better man than I! One afternoon with my Mother in Law is enough to drive me to drink... I honestly can't imagine.

Cheers,

[Superbad]

Good luck! I would be ready to commit murder after 3 days if my Inlaws were here.

[CasaDooley]

GL, Today, Kevin!:tu

Thanks Greg! I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need it!

[CasaDooley]

Day 2 update: All quiet on the western front. I dreamed about garbage trucks falling over last night. NEVER had that happen before. Anyone with psych 101 or higher (or Dave;)) can chime in here as I suspect it has something to do with my in-laws.:r

[CasaDooley]

My MIL just took out a small table in our upstairs hall way that had an antique industrial glass piece on it. She "forgot" to turn the light on. And so it starts.:hn

[icehog3]

my Mother in Law is enough to drive me to drink...

As long as she picks you up when you are done. ;)

[JoeCool87TC]

Good luck. Take a deep breath, relax, and have a stogie. In my experience in-laws are almost always trying - hang in there, brother, and keep your cool.

[hotreds]

Ouch, babe! Indeed, may He grant you strength beyond human possibility! No one here envys you, and know you are indeed in our thoughts and prayers! Best wishes for a quick resolution to your problemo!

[Chingas]

Oh the Drama! May I suggest a video camera. You could easily submit this to a network for yet ANOTHER hit reality TV show!:tu

[neoflex]

Good luck brotha! Just got rid of the last of family this morning that have been here since Thanksgiving since some stayed because the baby came shortly after the holiday. It is sooo nice to have a quiet house again although the outlaws who moved here after us My wife and I would vent to each other every night to keep from snapping.

[zappaFREAK]

To the batcave...

Kevin? Kevin, are you there?


OK....who has bail money?

I Think He Was Kidnapped!:r

[shilala]

My MIL just took out a small table in our upstairs hall way that had an antique industrial glass piece on it. She "forgot" to turn the light on. And so it starts.:hn
If it's any consolation, I'm getting a hell of a laugh at your expense. I already can't wait to see what happens next. :D
;s

[justonemorestick]

I think he is probably ok. Poor fellow was probably eager to get out of the house this morning even if he went to work.

[ashtonlady]

Would it be cheaper to put them up in a hotel?

When my parents came to live with us it lasted a week and they decided that it was worth it for them to live in a hotel until the house was ready.

[CasaDooley]

Day 3 update: Sorry I wasn't around to much yesterday, The wife and I took her employees to brunch at a nice resort casino here and we got a room and stayed the night. They have a great cigar lounge, very nice restaurants and we had an excellent time, until we returned to our home, or what I now affectionately refer to as "Hell House"!
As I walked through the door this morning upon our return, I suddenly felt myself transforming into Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now as I begun mumbling "The Horror, The Horror".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNUr__-VZeQ
My front entry rug has become a dog urine receptacle. The grout under the dining table was now a stream of yellow tributaries flowing , as best I can tell, toward the pacific. There are half eaten dog treats strewn about the house. I will spare you the details of how the house smells as I will leave that to your imagination.
My MIL tried to make me believe it was our dog who has been soiling the entry rug, a feat she has yet to accomplish in the last eight years, and as I got down on my hand and knees to clean the tributaries under the table, my MIL's husband, who was seated at the table using his laptop, would not move his feet so that I could clean under them.
They just left to go look at homes and took their 3 dogs with them. I will continue to clean the house now that they are gone as soon as I am done cleaning my hunting rifles.:D :gn

Laura, at this point it may be cheaper to pay for a Defense Lawyer!:gn :r

[ashtonlady]

I got an idea, move the dogs to a hotel and then the in laws shall follow.

[CoreyD]

maybe he started doing volunteering at local non profits so hes at home less, I mean so he's showing he cares about society.

[hotreds]

Kevin: In all seriousness, it is NOT acceptable that they destroy your house. They need to be told that they are guests, and anymore urine on the floor will be one drop too much, and they will have to vacant and move to a hotel. Likewise any undue "takeover" of the house or refrigerator contents by said people will result in immediate removal. It's funny only up to a point. I really think you need to talk to your wife and tell her that what is going on is beyond the pale, and the trespassers need to be moved to a hotel.

I really feel bad for you, brother. I hope that you can get rid of these people before you lose your sanity and good humor!

[Montano]

Kevin, come to Cali ;)

[BC-Axeman]

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
I would be helping her find a place.

[CasaDooley]

I tried to clean the entry rug, But it looks like I'll have to send it out to get it done right. I have another area rug to replace it, but damn, that rug really tied the room together. I feel like the Dude.:r

[longknocker]

I Agree, Kevin; They Shouldn't Destroy Your Home! You Need To Talk!

[markem]

They just left to go look at homes and took their 3 dogs with them. I will continue to clean the house now that they are gone as soon as I am done
cleaning my hunting rifles.:D :gn

oops, sorry, but while cleaning up your messes, we inadvertently changed the locks and left for a short retreat in the wood.

[BC-Axeman]

I have a backhoe...

[GolfNut]

Well, I had this reserved for my MIL but seeing as we're all family here I can loan it out to you for yours. Happy I could help! :r

Hugh spread some great words, I have this issue with the woman that lives there and her kids and I put up with it for 2 years mine be it was trying to make a family look past everyones character defects and etc. but 2 years later am walking in the resentments road and I lock myself with my son away from everyone or disappear with him for hours only to return to chaos and unhealthiness. Not judging just saying brother. many a time we had talks but issues didn't change so start the talks...you sound like a strong man, keep your wife into how you feel and whats going on and deal with it together.

Have you considered sending them on one of those meetings where they sit for like 4 hours being told the wonders of time shares?

Say...all of them within a 2 hour drive?

got no reason, what the heck!
kill my in-laws, kill my in-laws,

[357]

My in-laws routinely stay for a month. Of course, they live in Europe and my wife and I live in Michigan.

I honestly have nothing to complain about. I love my in-laws and they are great with my kids. After a while though my MIL starts driving my wife nuts.

Actually an old SNL Eddie Murphy skit, substitute "landlord" for in-laws.

Well Kevin after talking with you last night and then reading this thread, I feel for you bro, two weeks is a long time to hold your tongue.

:r

[replicant_argent]

So, did you put the rat dogs in kennels until they need to go out?
As soon as the situation involved me cleaning up "oops" from someone elses dog for the second time (I give them a bye on the first time) I would be purchasing kennels for each dog and if they weren't outside doing their business or eating, in they would go. Wouldn't hurt the dogs for a week or two as long as they got walks, and would make the owners kick it into gear to get out, I would hope.

Hang in there, Kevin.
