Assessing the Family

[MaryN]

O.K., so now we have added the MIL to the menagerie. That makes 3 of us here plus the animaux. I need to do a bit of a reassessment of our situation. I was happily gliding along, with the occasional bump or dip now and then, and I think things have to change a bit.

It's not so much the food that I have to reconsider, but with a wrinklie now part of the family, do I need to stock up on denture cleaner and incontinence pads? It's a scary thought, and I'm not sure I want to share my point of view with said wrinklie. I'm not even sure she would understand what SHTF is. Oh dear!

Then of course there are the other members of OH's family who, presumably,are going to make visits to see the old dear. Unfortunately, the main visitor is likely to be the BIL and/or his offspring. I am sorry to say that the BIL has as much use, in my honest opinion, as a tit on a bull and is far less desirable in terms of, well, anything. I really do not wish him to find out (the old dear tells him everything) about my prepping sensibilities. To be honest, the thought of him and his unwashed family descending on my doorstep fills me with horror. I need to get the collie's teeth sharpened!

Oh dear!
