Question

Ladies, is your Mother-In-Law a ruthless old bag who basically hates you?

Answer 1

My mother-in-law, even with her 2 flaws, is an awesome lady that I would give anything to live close to again (3 hours was our previous distance, while now it's cross country). As for my own mom, that's a whole other issue!

Answer 2

That's not the case in my family. After my grandmother met my mother for the first time, her exact words to my father were: "Marry her." (He did, of course.)

On the other hand, after my mom's parents met my father, they were wary because he worked for the NDP, which they considered a socialist party, and they had just left the U.S.S.R. (It kind of is a socialist party, but not in a Leninist way or anything.) They grew to love him soon after, though.

Answer 3

I am also one of the lucky ones that loves her mom in law...mine is great! I wouldnt trade her for anything.

Answer 4

No

Answer 5

nope - i had the World's Greatest Mother in law.

Answer 6

I love mine!  She never gets into our business and lets us live how we see fit, which is a huge relief considering my mom won't LOL!  I can only handle one of em!  My MIL says that if for some reason it doesn't last between my husband and I that she's taking me in the divorce! LOL, God forbid!

Answer 7

Mother-in-laws can also be a terrible burden on men.

Answer 8

No, my motherin law is all right.  We get on okay together.  We are both mad on murder mysteries, so i often go ground to her flat (she only lives 5 minutes walk away from us) and we watch Columbo or Murder She Wrote or Midsomer Murders or something like that.  I don't think she hates me, at least she has never given me that impression. If she does hate me she has disguised it very well.

Answer 9

a son loves his mother and a mother loves her son, you're threatening this relationship

Answer 10

No.  My mother in law is great.  We get along really well.  If my husband and I divorced, my mother in law and I would still be friends.

Answer 11

No, she's an airy-fairy crystal-wielding fruitcake.

Answer 12

well,my ML pass away before we are married...but they are two unmarried sister living with us...it was h**l...they act as thought there are my ML.

Answer 13

Yes.  I have never been good enough in her eyes for her son.  She blames me for everything that goes wrong in his life and even sometimes his brothers.

Answer 14

My mother in law is no longer alive, but she was a wonderful woman with whom I had a close and loving relationship.

She had had a very difficult life, full of the sort of hardships that most people in the west don't need to face these days, but she had tremendous inner strength and a lot of love to give.

I was very fond of her, her death left a gigantic hole in my life and I still miss her.

Best wishes :-)

Answer 15

I always got along great with my mother in law.  Even now that she is my X mother in law we still get along really well.

Answer 16

My mother-in-law ROCKS!!! I love her just as I love my own mom. She is so wonderful. She is always here when we need her. She is the best grandma ever, and she is my friend.

Answer 17

No, though my first one was HORRID, but then again, apple didn't fall far from the wormy tree. M-i-l now is awesome! Flies here to stay with kids when I need it, never comments on anything, and I know that she must hold her around me! I would take care of her if she needed me to even if -god forbid- her son and I were not together. She is more thoughful to me than my own mother.

Answer 18

Yes. She is a horrible woman. My husband and I have been happily married for over 10 years and she still talks about his "next wife". Even my hubby tells her to knock it off but there is no talking to that woman. Thank God she lives far away from us!
