9 Gifs That Perfectly Describe My Mother-in-Law’s Visit

03.31.2015 by Lynn Morrison /

mother in law
If a picture is worth a thousand words, it is safe to assume that each of these videos represents a million cursewords left unsaid when my mother-in-law comes to visit.

When I realize that my mother-in-law arrives in less than 48 hours and my house is a cesspool

What I want to do

What I actually do

When she arrives….

How my family reacts

How I react

What I do with the crappy present she gave me

During her visit

How I look when she’s awake

Retro Housewife With Cookbook

What I really do when she’s asleep

When she leaves

How my family reacts

How I react

Sound about right?

    Haha, yes!

    My inlaws don’t speak English and I don’t speak Thai so our visits include a lot of me sitting around silently with rare occasions of culturally incompatible sign language. My findings from this scenario? People like me better when they don’t understand what comes out of my mouth.

    If I loved this any more, I would have to buy it dinner and lie about how its muscles look so much more defined since it started its new diet!

    I am so grateful that I loved my mother in law. My sister though…damn…she had a horrible mother in law.
