We need your help to complete the list…we’d love to hear your suggestions, just submit your answers at the comments box.
1. If she calls to let you know she’s coming over to your house, hurry and put on a bath robe and wet your hair. Act shocked to see her when she arrives.
2. Ask her each time you see her, “Are you feeling okay? You look like you have a cold or something.”
3. If she has photographs, or artwork hanging on the walls, pretend that you are straightening a few each time you go to their place when really you are making them lean just a little to the right or left.
4. Always use a coaster when having a drink, only use an obvious favorite magazine as a coaster.
5. If you see a partially completed crossword puzzle, say “Oh I love crossword puzzles” and fill in all the wrong words.
6. Move book-marks a few pages ahead of where they’re placed.
7. Several seconds after she’s gotten into the bathroom, knock on the door impatiently saying, “Please hurry, I really need to pee, I’ve got to go bad, when are you getting out?”
8. Offer to put away her washed dishes, only put them in the wrong places.
9. When meeting them at a restaurant, always arrive 10 minutes late.
10. Offer to pay for everyone’s meal, then when the waiter arrives say “We’ll all just have water, thanks.”
11. Make sure not to feed the kids before you go over so that they constantly beg her for food.
12. Bring a carton of boiled eggs with you and when she isn’t looking, switch them out for her fresh ones.
13. Just before you leave, open the fridge and put a dot of black food coloring into her milk container.
14. Always feed her asparagus so that her pee stinks.
15. Send her a Happy Birthday card and pretend it was from Patrick Swayze.
16. Pick ear wax out of your ears and find creative places to wipe it in her house.
17. Buy her cheap art several times a year. Tell her that you were thinking of her when you bought them.
18.(Adrienne) If you happen to have a small dog, take it with you to MIL’s home; only make sure it hasn’t pooped in a day, and find a way to “accidently” allow him to do his business on her fave rug……then laugh innocently and say, “Fluffy only poops where he has smelled sh** before, that’s STRANGE…” she will get the hint if she has been badmouthing you lately.
19. (Adrienne) If you really [can't stand] your MIL you could show your secret displeasure of her by flushing a few thick old socks down her toilet, flush until it overflows, and run to her claiming her toilet isn’t working properly. Or you could just let her find it that way later…heehee.
20. (Annoyed) Tell her you know she has been selling your daughter’s clothing behind your back.
21. (Haha) Sign her up for AARP!! They send junk mail all the time AND sell your address to ALL types of other businesses!
22. (SoThatsHowItIs) Keep telling her how much you love her son and how much he loves and looks after you. If she really likes you then this will make her happy, if she secretly hates you, this will DRIVE HER NUTS! It’s a win win!
23. (dixie511) if your MIL is selling something like (Mary Kay) sign up for it and then a couple of weeks later tell her that selling isn’t your thing and sign up for Avon the same day and bring a book by and put it on her door step.
24. (kris1980) When you’re visiting your MIL, go switch her diet pills for laxative pills they sell to elderly people with serious bowel problems. She won’t be inviting you for the next few months or so.
25. (Lish) I leave random nursing home brochures in her house.
26. (Rayven) When ever your MIL calls you answer the phone exasperated and when she ask what’s wrong, explain in detail how wonderful the sex was with your husband, when she ask you to stop, say that’s the same thing you tell your husband when he gets rough! She will be very disgusted! And eventually stop calling!
27. (this could be you)

‘…where he has smelled…sh….before”…That’s great!
Great Comments Adrienne! Nice punchline at the end about the badmouthing…!

What mine has been doing for the past 7 years and I finally caught on after I did some investigating-I had been wondering where my daughter’s clothing had been going and it had been disappearing like crazy!

i’ve just found out after 6 years of marriage that my MIL secretly disliked me all along, our friendship was a scam on her part. initially i was hurt, now i’m mad, but we can all play that game!!! goodluck DIL’s, and let’s make a vow to never put our sons through this ourselves, learn from our MILs mistakes girls.
I know exactly how you feel!!!! The same kind of situation happened to me! As soon as things got a little rocky wih my fiancé now of 4 years, she totally turned her back on me! What a slap in the face it was! Now I’m looking for quiet, sweet revenge….
if your MIL is selling something like (mary kay) sign up for it then a couple of weeks later tell her that selling isnt your thing and sign up for avon the same day and bring a book by and put it on her door step

My mother in law lives in a different city…and she is annoying me by calling up and interfering between me and my husband..How can i annoy her over the phone?
Take your other MIL on holiday with you and your family.
I start cleaning her house the second I get there even if its already clean
if your mother inlaw never apologizes 4 what she does,u may just have 2 steal an apology from her
I kindly put 1/2 a bottle of laxative in her milk (as she drinks red but buys blue for guests).
Get a special Tshirt made for her birthday or Christmas that says “I love my Daughter-In-Law” with a huge picture of your face on it… LOL that would steam her kettle!!
