Mother-in-Law's email!

How about this missive from a ma-in-law-to-be to her future dil?
Mind you, there are a few young 'ladies' I can think of I would love to treat with the same message!

I think this message could have been condensed somewhat. What m-i-l-to-be really means is: 'you are insufferably common and I would damn well say so if it weren't for the fact that only terribly common people use the word 'common'. :D

 

She is only going to be a Step Mother In Law as well,Stupid Cow...

 

I think the old girl needs to get her head out of Queen Vic's era.

I fully agree that manners are important, but so is a sense of humour and an approachable nature.

I don't understand why the email went viral though. Its not that great. I've seen (and sometimes been inadvertantly responsible for) much more embarrassing emails that accidentally went to the wrong person and they just got laughed off.

 

I saw this story!

Id be horrified if I was marrying into such a family. I hope Freddie stands up for his girlfriend!
I bet the entire family is just mortified! The hatches will be well and truly been battened down!

However, having discussed this with my own mother, her main point was the girl distributed a private email and thereby confirmed the m-i-l's assessment of her bad manners!
She did also say that m-i-l should have addressed these comments to the girl in person.

"They both sound dreadful, dear!"-

 

I note that the lady in question is a keen gardener and grower of 'pinks' - it serves to show the extraordinary nature of the British attitude that someone should write such a strange note and that the recipient was 'proud' to show all and sundry what an unusual m-in-l she would be getting.

What a strange world - whatever happened to generosity of spirit......

 

I was wrong! Instead of keeping their heads down, the bride to be's father has weighed in!
LOL!

That wedding is going to be ACE!

Maybe she should grow these - or does she only demonstrate the side effects?

 

Well that is going to be some interesting wedding day :-)

Good on the step MIL, to actually tell the young of today what is acceptable manners

I have now upset everyone under 55, who think to do what you want to do is your right and no one elses business

OK I am and old fart, I still hold doors open for ladies, still doff my cap to superiour people, call my doctor, lawyer, and professionals SIR even though they are much younger than I
I keep my garden trimmed, cut my hedges, shovel the snow of my front path and help people older than I (or younger on circumstances)

It was the way I was brought up, I am poor but proud, My children and grandchildren are more relaxed but do respect people and conduct themselves accordingly and politely but not as VICTORIAN as I
ie:- they treat professionals with respect but do not call them Sir or Madam

I would be interested to know if the weekend stay was in SEPERATE rooms ? :-)

As for the wedding itself, it amazes me the amount of newly weds that get married in the Caribean, and honeymoon in NewYork, then take on a mortgage they can not afford for their home
It would be more sense to marry in the local registrars, have the reception in an affordable hall/hotel and put the £10k saved towards the home

Oh Ok I am a simple worked all my life man, at working class wages
I realise people earn lots more than I ever could, I was ripped to bits on a photographers forum, as a decent wedding photographer would charge around £5k for the day for an album and £500 was totally ridiculous, to think you would get reasonable pictures :-(

The young girls at work on £14k think £2k for the wedding photos are about right :OUCH:

Well I won't be buying anything from THAT snobby woman. I don't think my garden is posh enough and probably doesn't have good enough manners for the plants to survive!!

 

I rest my case. What Mother In Law To Be really means is: NOC (Not Our Class). Should be a good one, Melinda. Let's hope the bride has lots of highly embarrassing relatives who get absolutely slaughtered at the nuptials. After all, even K and P Middy have a naughty Uncle Gary.

 

I just had a glance at the Daily Wail which has obviously been doing a little digging. Mother In Law has had multiple marriages and - shock! horror! - was already up the duff before she tied the knot for the first time.

The bit which really struck me, however, was this comment from m-i-l regarding her d-i-l to be:

... her behaviour had left their pet dog Bomber ‘profoundly upset, depressed and anxious’.

Just what had Heidi done to upset the pooch? In matters of national importance such as this, I think we should be told.

 

That one creased me up too!

 

Ouch!

As funny as I find this, she's a private citizen and tbh not many people's lives would stand up to Fleet Street scrutiny! If you've had a lover or two, been to a few parties or have a dodgy uncle- there is always going to be something to print.

I think of those people who put photos of their nights out up on Facebook. *shudder*
Easy pickings in the event of a minor scandal and a host of snooping journalists with ethical deficits.

 

I do agree, Melinda. Everyone has an embarrassing Uncle Gary or equivalent safely locked away in the closet. At least, one hopes they are adequately secured. I suppose I don't have that much sympathy for Mrs Bourne because she was being highly judgemental and snooty about her d-i-l to be. But then, she wasn't to know that her e-mail was about to become mass entertainment.

I think a lot of people are unaware of just how vulnerable they are, now that so many people are online. A while back I was trying to trace my ex to sort out an unfinished bit of paperwork. I thought I'd try to search for an e-mail address, because I didn't want to 'phone up and actually speak to him (I am so grown up). A random google search threw up the interesting information that he was now on Wife Number Three, who was busy slagging off Wife Number Two and stepchild via Twitter, not mention giving us all intimate details of her - er - romantic life. At first it was funny and I must admit it gave my sister and me a lot of childish fun over the Christmas holiday. Increasingly, however, it became rather like rubber-necking at a car crash, particularly when she was laying into the poor step kid who was stuck in the middle of it all. The final straw was reading the following 'tweet', on the subject of Oprah Winfrey: 'Hell, if I wanted to listen to a fat, big-mouth know-all sounding off, I'd move in with husband's ex.' I had just polished off some nice festive drinks and I'm afraid I just couldn't resist. I quickly opened an account and tweeted 'which one?'. Back came the response: 'I don't understand 'which one?'. 'Which fat know-all?,' I asked. 'Witchbitch ex #1 or witchbitch ex #2?'. Things have now gone very quiet.
