tiny korean people and my problem with 1 of them

[lizzyfizzy]

let me start off by tellin you that my mil is a controlling 4'10" korean woman.
(still with me?)

i cannot even begin to tell you how frustrated i have been since last wednesday when then arrived. my mil is like this person who thinks that the minute she walks in my door little forrest elves should start to sing her their praise while pixies and fairies massage her tiny feet and the other woodland creatures adorne her with some pointy crown that says this is my palace, my rules apply, mine mine mine.

why does she think that she is automatically in charge of me and my household. first of all i am a 5'7" husky mexcian, that could take her down so fast she wouldn't even know what happened. second, I AM NOT A PUSHOVER! there has never been one time that i have appeared intimidated or timid around her. i'm intense. that's how i roll.

ok...so with all this being said she now thinks that she has the right to tell me when i have had enough computer time.

so...if i am a little quiet around here it is not because i am "afraid" of my mil it's cause i'm busy kicking the crap out of her. comprende?

[lauren grier]

lmao I almost deleted this post cause I thought it was spam... Hope things smooth over chica

[lizzyfizzy]

do spammers usually title their posts with something to do with koreans?? lol!!! you can change my title to "why lizzy needs a margarita."

:p

[lauren grier]

lmao there's been some weird spam titles lately.. you never know :D

[krystalhartley]

LOL I almost thought it was spam, too...

Good luck with the MIL...sounds like fun!

[meems]

as a Korean woman I have only one response to your post

bwhahahahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaahahahahahahahhahaha haaaaaaaaaaa!

I can so picture the type of person you're dealing with, i.e., some of my mother's friends.

Koreans can be quite pushy and a bit overbearing. Not me, of course. I'm a doormat. :p

good luck (keeping your sanity) !

[ditzyscrap]

LOL, Lizzy! Don't beat her TOO hard, ok? ;)

[Paula]

ROFL I can so relate to you on the MIL issue!! Sometimes I want to take my cast iron skillet after mine! LOL

[iJenny]

awwww, honey. Want me to come over and kick her tiny Korean butt? While you are a "husky" mexican woman, I am an even husky-er irish/german woman. And that is just plain scary. :)
Sorry she's being such a pain.

[Traci Reed]

hahahaha Lizzy's post had me rollin' and mimi's has me dying!!

kick her good for me and women with pushy mother in law's everywhere!

[scrappychic]

if it weren't for the title i was sure you were describing my mom! :) she was pretty much the same till she started seeing a therapist and took some anti-depressants. now she's good to go but still....some things never change!

[marnel]

Totally understand Nena:thumbup:

[Kimberly's Mommy]

I'm really sorry you have to deal with this. Listening to people talk about their MIL horror stories just brings back memories of mine. She and I really got along until I married her son. Then suddenly I wasn't good enough for him. But then again that might have also had something to do with his lying B**** sister, but that's another story for a different day. Hope things get better for you soon or atleast that they don't stay to long.

[kscwgirl]

Just don't kill her, Lizzy... unless Jenny can help you dispose of the body. ;)

Hope they aren't staying much longer!!!!

[NettieB]

ok, now that I can see to type after laughing so hard I cried after Jenny and Sara's replies --

ev1 remember by My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Girl, it doesn't matter what nationality she is - trust me, it translates fine. HANG IN THERE!

[meems]

ROFL I can so relate to you on the MIL issue!! Sometimes I want to take my cast iron skillet after mine! LOL
be sure to whip up some pancakes and bacon first!

[joelsgirl]

I'm so rolling. You have a way with words, girl. You should be writing a book.

[newfiemountiewife]

OMG I am rolling! You guys are too much. Makes me glad that all mine does is remind me when it's -40C to give my kids mittens. Nah, I didn't think they'd need them today, I thought they'd like to have instant-frozen-skin.

Otherwise, mine is GREAT, so I can't complain at all. I would seriously not be able to handle that!

[scrapmonkey]

Sounds like the MIL of my friend/co-worker - except she's Phillipino (but tiny too). Does the same exact thing when she gets into town. And my friend is a 5'7" German-American, so it does not go over well with her either. You two should compare notes, lol....
Hang in there...

[SamaraGugler]

LMAO!!!! This is so funny!!!!

[OrianaVianey]

am I the onlyone picturing an episode of Gilmore Girls here??? LOL
And from latin chick to another latin chick, I only have one advice for you...

Well I'm more like a 5'7 husky southern fruitcake but I think I love you LIzzy! We'd get along too good in real life. You are crackin' me up girl. When ya sending her home? :p
Jenny, another one here with Irish/German heritage huh? Nice to know I'm not alone with that hideous can't help it cause it's in your genes type temperament haaaahahahaa j/k you are a sweetie Jenny

[scarletsierra]

Have I told you lately that I love you, Lizzy?

LMAO!! Thanks for the giggle! Sooo needed it!

[Voodoo_Bryn]

Omg, I nearly had tea all over my keyboard.

I just got rid of my monster-in-law this morning!!! You are so fracking funny.

[marnie4two]

ROFL, Lizzy! Aren't you done beating her, yet?

I love to hear MIL stories, makes me feel less lonely. I have recently had to explain to my boys, "No, it is not normal for grandmas to stick a whole steak in their purses at the buffet." "Yes, it is stealing." and "Yes, the police might come and take her to jail." Oh, wait that last one is just wishful thinking.

[crystalbella77]

UGH! I am so sorry, Sweetie!!! IL's are such a PITA sometimes aren't they?! :cursing: Hope it gets better!!! {{hugs}}

[lizzyfizzy]

ahahahahahahahahahaha!!! all of you crazies had me laughing so hard. mimi koreans aren't allowed to have as much personality as you...what's going on?? :p all of you made my day so much better!! i love you all!

[OrianaVianey]

Oh good for me MIL lives in another Country ans I only see her twice a year for ver few hours... LOL

[lizzyfizzy]

mine lives in alaska. that is practically another country. i rarely have to deal with mine too so that has saved my life thus far.

[AmyM]

So Lizzy, any broken toes or swollen ankles today? :w00t:

[my3hens]

Oy Vey LOL You have your hands full!! Hugs!! Hope you find time for that margerita LOL

[gyllenhaalic]

No wonder you have such cute kids. Korean and Mexican - what a great mix! Being from Hawai'i where there a lot of Koreans, I now what you're going through and I'm sorry.:thumbdown:

[lizzyfizzy]

No wonder you have such cute kids. Korean and Mexican - what a great mix!

thanks! :) they are pretty darned cute.

That's rich! See, now when we go to my MIL's (which is rare since we live on different continents) I'm saying to my kiddo, "No, it's NOT normal for floors to be so clean you can eat off of them." "No, sweetie, most people DON'T eat home cooked meals every night, just Mimi & Doc." "Yes, you're right. Our house would look nicer if Mommy picked up every day like Mimi does." :thumbdown: What a bad influence she is.

[ditzyscrap]

LMAO, Kellie! :D

[DawnMarch]

I have a tiny Korean (American) person here too, but she's my DD so I still get to boss her around.:p ;)
