WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT MOTHER IN LAWS???

Answer 1

I try not to.  Why do you have a specific question?  

Answer 2

They bug the h**l out of you because you took their little boy. And of course your husband will never believe that she does it intentionally because it's well... Mom. Ah how I long for silence.

Answer 4

well said meow, how very true, that blasted cord just gets thicker and harder to cut!!

Answer 5

The mother in law situation is a sad one in many cases. Women need to learn to let go and not feel they have to control their childrens lives. They need to get hobbies or join organizations where they can be useful and not intruding into their childrens lives. You rarely hear about father in laws causing problems although some do.  

Answer 6

I've heard horror stories, but I got on very well with mine. She has since passed away.  

Answer 7

mother in laws are scary, they are manipulative, scheming and totally merciless. because they think they own their kids. and no one can come close to their sons or daughters (well closer than her). mom in laws have an aweful lot of control over their sons or daughters behavior. they know exactly which buttons to push, how to play with his or her emotions and how to make him or her do things. and god forbid if you get a bad mom in law then only god can save you. it take years to really cut the invisible embilical cord eheheh

Answer 9

I think I miss mine very much.  She was awesome I lost her 3 years ago but she was in my life for 30.

Honestly, tho few will agree, many times they get criticized unmercifully.

They are so stereotyped that daughter-in-laws automatically go in with negative attitudes.  MIL's are not given much of a chance.  They are expected to be perfect and if not watch out.  

Luckily I never saw this growing up.  I always treated my MIL with respect and realized she probably knew more than I did having six kids and she had more wisdom.  And she did and I was grateful to not have this hate attitude that is so prevalent.  So I actually learned a lot from her and never was jealous and was proud and touched by the close relationship my husband and she had.      

Answer 10

I have succeeded in avoiding them entirely by getting involved only with women who were raised as orphans in state institutions.
