Environmental vandal (mother in law rant)

[spandit]

About 4 years ago I planted a hawthorn hedge along our field up to the gate, to stop people coming up the drive and going in. We've since put gates in further down the drive and my mother in law, who unfortunately lives with us, is complaining the hedge ruins her view (of another hedge). She is adamant that it will be grubbed up (I've managed to delay it until the winter but she's frantic to get rid of it, out of spite, largely). I've even checked with the council as I'd read that hedges bordering fields were protected but sadly they don't have a problem with it being removed. Just makes me so effing angry that my hard work and expense are going to be destroyed so she can look at more of the field than she can already see.

 

 

I won't even post pictures of what she's done to the garden (we bought the house off a florist and it was stunning, now it looks as if ISIS have paid a visit) and I've lost count of the number of mature shrubs she's hacked down.

 

Just having a rant. Sorry.

Let her. It’s only a hedge. She’ll die and you can plant a better one. In going to war with her, you’d risk going to war with your 65% stakeholder wife too. That needs sorting out though. Pay lawyers and accountants to unfuck it all or you’ll end up with the smelly Aston Martin problem being your whole life.

I see the accusations of tax evasion have been edited out. I'm doing nothing illegal, we have just minimised the liability when the day comes. My wife owning her mother's share was the easiest thing to do. It's all been done through solicitors and despite me feeling like I've been screwed, it's all above board. 

 

As AHPP said, it is only a hedge and although it upsets me, it's relatively minor in the grand scheme of things.

You could brick up her window.

And her door.

If that was aimed at me I wasn't suggesting you'd done anything illegal, in fact me and my brother pulled a similar stunt to save the family home when mum went into full time care.

 

Just because I say it as I see it doesn't mean I'm on your case.
