throbber Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 My father in law is going through some sort of mid life crisis I reckon, he has always been a selfish guy who puts himself first, then his new wife and her kids second and then his own children from his first marriage about 5 th on his list of priorities. This year he has been even worse though, never makes an effort to see his grand daughter despite living in Edinburgh and when ever he does see her it’s usually somewhere convenient for him. He has on several occasions cancelled on us when he said he’d look after her for a while and even missed her first birthday because his 10 year old son had a staved finger. Anyway he was banging on about a work mate of his for some time and he came with us to the football on Saturday , I was expecting him to be in his 50’s because of the way the FIL has banged on about him but he was a 30 year old Lad Bible EPL fanboy type who made the rest of us in the group feel rather uneasy. He thought nothing about swearing in front of young children and made several inappropriate sexual remarks throughout the day which the father in law seemed to find hilarious. The pair of them were constant with their inside jokes and stories about various pubs/ restaurants they have frequented together and they have been round at each other’s houses with their other halves for double date nights. Maybe I’m being too judgemental but I found their relationship to be totally bizarre, was quite like the David Brent equality street sketch. He never even mentioned to this guy that he had a granddaughter as well which was outrageous considering how much time they have obviously spent together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he brings drink round to your house, Throbber, I'm sure he'll redeem himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father-in-law left his wife for another woman about 20 years ago and while everyone gets on it's certainly afected the relationship he has with his kids and now their kids. He rarely sees my son now even though he's retired and could come down whenever he wanted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree with that, he wanted to be with this woman and they moved in together and she took her kids with her, that’s what happens when you get divorced after having kids. The way in which they give all priority to her kids/grand kids whilst totally disregarding his own is truly inexcusable though, I hate to think how many thousands he has spent getting her kids on their feet and they are forever looking after her grand kids as well whilst fobbing us off with paper thin excuses as to why they can’t see us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't particularly care, then why bother yourselves? Also, having been in the situation myself with my own dad and his latest (he's had a few) wife, if he really cared that much he'd make an effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also said they would look after our daughter one day a week and then cancelled on that with about 2 weeks notice landing us right in the shit a few weeks before that. We are going to theirs for Christmas this year and I don’t think they deserve our company if I’m honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All joking aside, grow a pair of balls and tell your wife that Pie and Bovril has spoken. Ditch the ones that don't give a f**k and spend Christmas with people that will appreciate it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else confused by the talk of girlfriend and in laws, are these her parents you're talking about or your wife. Tell your wife/ daughter of your father in law(girlfriend?) That life would be a whole lot less confusing if you forgot about him, he's clearly not interested so why get your hopes up that he will come into your life again, he's a roaster well rid IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
