Hey guys! I just wanted to let everyone know that I had an awesome weekend mini vacation that was mil free!!!!! It was awesome and just what everyone needs!

here,here!!

Amen!!!... (It was awfully "quiet" on TDIL this past weekend; Hopefully everyone had a drama-free or minimal-drama filled weekend... FREE OF INLAWS!!!) haha

Lucky! I'm so jealous.

not to brag but my mil has been away for 6 weeks. she still stirs shit but so much easier to ignore and aimed at bil gf cos now there getting married and having kids and buying houses- so mil is loosing bil much quicker than she lost my hubby.

I make it now if they piss me off i wait until im not annoyed anymore to go back. sometimes it takes 2 weeks sometimes months. but its heaps easier.

Oh god, 6 weeks would be heaven.   The longest I've been able to go is 5.  Though after this summer I may have to make a new not every other weekend rule.  Cause it has been waaaayyyyy too much.

I hope things stay quiet for you, Stacann. What often happens here is the "calm before the storm". I know I should try harder to enjoy the calm, but I fixate on whats brewing. Argh!

You said it! Pray for me

Ditto.  We had a BBQ with no MIL and everyone had fun for a change.  There was no fighting, talking behind others backs, or manipulation.  It was  the way BBQs are with my family.  Yea!
