LOL If i was to have to babysit my mother in law I would end up as crazy as she is and she is a dang loon......

I just got chills thinking about my M-I-L

I think this post should be under the topic, "Personal Problems."

You just have to be more careful about which 50% you listen to!

...agree on time with the son though! He won't stay little long and will remember all the times with dad.

My second wife wouldn't let me go hunting or fishing,that's why i have a third wife.Third wife likes her quiet time and advises me as to when i should go hunting, think i'll keep this one.And no there is no sancho.

I love it when men can't come up with any legitimate replies and resort to calling women 'crazy'... so lame.

Also, to the op, LISTEN TO YOURSELF! It sounds as though your MIL is, and has always been there to attend to YOUR child, for you, HIS father. Which she has NO obligation, whatsoever, to do so. She did NOT breed that child, YOU did. Instead of WHINING that she 'screwed' YOU, you possibly might reconsider and think of what she is always doing for you and YOUR son, when it's OBVIOUSLY not her responsibility to begin with???

OK, my rants over and sorry if I offended you with the truth and as others have suggested, enjoy the time with your little blessing.

It's not that cold. If he doesn't have warm enough clothes, get him some! Or, get one of those propane Mr Heater heaters and fire it up in the blind. Took my son out when it was cold and frosty, fired that thing up and he took about a 2 hr nap. When he woke up, he asked if he could take his jacket off because he was hot, lol. Even if you don't take a shot, just sitting with him for a couple of hours is worth it's weight in gold in my opinion. Those are bonding times that will last a lifetime!

Also, I do agree with the above post regarding responsibility. It's your child, not your MIL's. It's your responsibility to take care of and watch your own child. If you get occasional help from the inlaws, great, but you shouldn't expect it to the point that you blame them for not getting to go hunting. Becoming a Dad requires sacrifice, and sometimes that means fewer hunting or fishing trips, or hanging out with your buddies. It's the choice you make when you decide to start a family. Good luck

LMAO

Kurtis I agree 100%! My lips are sealed!

Agreed, you won't be wrong that way...err as wrong. We're always wrong!

It happens, and will happen again. It will probably bring you good luck on your next hunt! Let him color you a deer pic, and put it in your back pack!

No one screwed you over. You got the opportunity to spend time with your son. Also, you got to fufill your role as a father and husband. Don't be mad because you had to take care of something you are responsible for.

I clicked the thread thinking " hey, may even be a video"

" Is it OK if I go hunting?" usually works good, makes the wife think she is making the decision. I have been fortunate like many here, my wife has never been upset about my hunting or fishing time..well maybe got a bit PO's when I went to the Rockies for 3 weeks, but that was because she had to mow the lawn

I agree though with the few that said, do the right thing by your son, if he needs you there, that beats any day in the stand.

OH one other "warning" Wife's do tend to become their mother!! So....

"my wife and mother in law screwed me."- hey, i think i saw your story on the jerry springer show.

How does your father in law feel about this?

Well this was a letdown. Title had me excited!

After years of being married and years of working in corporate America, and having helped raise two daughters, the problem (in my view) most common in business and marriage is lack of communication. Just talking isn't really communication if one side or both isn't listening. And I truly believe that men and women have completely different logic patterns and will arrive at the same answer through completely different paths of thinking. Women consider many more factors than men do in even the most basic decision, factors that most men would think don't even apply to that decision. I understand that they do that, though I do not understand why. So...ya gotta talk and ya gotta communicate or one of you will get sideways.

I just recently had to explain to my oldest grandson that women are not crazy, as he had firmly stated after breaking up with his mosr recent semi-wacko and super jealous girlfriend. I'm not sure he believes me, and I am not absolutely sure that he's wrong.

I take my boys with me every chance I get. I have even got off a really awesome lease simply because they weren't kid friendly. I have a 5 and 8 year old boys. They've never taken a deer yet but they love to be in the stand super quite. I know theyll remember it forever. I too get irritated and not being able to hunt every day but, it wouldn't be fun if it was easy.

I say wrap that boy up in a sleeping bag and take him with!

I got you beat!!

My wife informed me I will be missing opening weekend of gun season to move my in laws, in with us.......








from Michigan!

Yep. I've heard of guys liking mother/daughter doubles but I don't think this is what they have in mind.

Sorry your hunt was spoiled.

Luckily for me, my wife is pretty laid back, and both of my girls (6 & 8) still like getting dirty and spending time outdoors with their daddy- I know I'm on borrowed time. But to avoid scheduling issues, I just get my wife to send me an email appointment so it gets on my calander. If its not on my calander, not my fault. I also put days I know I have to be put of town for work or have something planned on my calendar as early as possible so the calander tells me before I accept the appointment. That way I can tell her immediately if I have a conflict, and almost always that gives enough time to work something out. Having some type of calander system really avoids needless "surprises" which normally lead to needless arguments.

No calendar is going to fix that break down in communication. Did she just inform you they were moving in with you, or just the date and your role in the process?

I would think if they are moving in with you, the timing would pretty much be your call.
