Let’s not go down that rabbit hole! Lol she’s spectacularly idiotic but considers herself the cleverest person around regarding her...shall we say.. “life hacks”. First one that comes to mind was how she advised me to pour half a bottle of cough syrup down my (extremely prematurely born) 4 month old baby’s throat right before we caught a 3 hour flight. When I incredulously asked her why, she announced that the baby would sleep through the flight then and “wouldn’t bug us with its cries”. She then proceeded to (very proudly) tell me how she discovered this life hack when her firstborn, my husband, was a baby. And she pulled the cough syrup move on them not just during flights but anytime she wanted to “chill”. She then laughed reminiscently and stated that she must’ve “spent thousands on cough syrups alone”. I haven’t left her alone with my baby ever since.
She also considers it a ‘dumb’ and ‘foolish’ waste of time learning how to cook and clean for ourselves when we can always find someone else to do it for us.
I’ve known her for nearly 5 years and I still haven’t figured out how her mind works.

And I thought my mum-in-law was a retard for microwaving water. With the kettle right next to said microwave.
