[Ashley]

LOL! Cute thread!

I don't have a mother-in-law, but my BF's mom is pretty nice. Her fashion sense is a bit kooky for me, but other than that, she's pretty normal!

[Ricci]

[Aquilah]

Lord, I wouldn't even know where to begin! Aprill, you know all about how crazy my MIL is... I wouldn't wish her on anyone BUT my worst enemy!!!

[Adrienne]

I don't think any one of us will have really short post to say about our mil's. I've got too many stories that i swear i could sell a book: i live with mine

The most recent one that made me mad is that she's my babysitter (naturally) and i swear she's so lazy but i put up with it since my next closest babysitter would add another 35 mintues to my already 30 minutes drive to work. My son is very choosy in his food, well not really but he'll say he wants something and then not want it. Typical kid. Well he's going on 3 in august and he's hit another growth spurt. When me and my husband got home after going out with gio(son), after we had already eaten, she starts asking, "did he eat? he's getting too skinny, why is he so thin?" Now i can assure you my son eats anything and everything.

She kept on saying that he's too thing and seems malnourished or something. Then she said "Well, i don't know whats wrong with him, he only eats when he's with me." Now that literally blew off the lid for me becuase she was basically insinuating that i don't feed my son. I breastfed him for 13 months (weaned him that last month; let me know when you can find a 17 year old that will do that nowadays) and always made sure that he got his meals and had food with his babysitter. Apparently, mil thinks that I'm too stupid to figure out where his mouth is so that's what i snapped back. I told her, "Oh really! That makes sense! All this time I've been shoving food up his behind and wondering why nothing ever stayed! He's been my son for almost 3 years, i think i know how to feed him." and went to our room.

In general, we're nice to each other but she's a very gullible woman and very narrow minded. She doesn't discipline my son at all. He'll throw something at her and she'll just tell him that if he doesnt stop, she'll spank him. I'm not one to hit but the only cir***stance i will do it is if he hits me or throws something at me or does something that is completely off limits (tries to mess with outlets, tries to run away at the parking lot, throws his car at me, tries to hit me when he gets mad.)

Alright, i think i'll stop here bc its making mad just thinking about it. Rant over...for now...

That really stinks!!!!!!!!!!

my mother in law likes to call herself a feng shui consultant, when in all honesty she's only read a couple of books and throws her own mumbo jumbo on top of it. it bothers me because my uncle, who is a practicing heart surgeon, used to go on month-long sabbaticals to China to study under a Grand Master.

i hate that crap.

oh- she's all about anything metaphysical, from any culture... you know- waving crystals over your head, watching the Secret, interpreting dreams.... blechhhh

I was thinking about this the other day.

All my ex's mothers have been a little on the crazy side.

Just once I would like my bf's family to like me. It's really important to me, and hopefully my next relationship will be better in that regard!

One of my ex's mums told me that the whole family hated me, that they thought I was rude, that I'd never marry her son and they couldn't respect me because i didn't go to a private school. I figured the relationship was over when the bf didn't defend me, even though he was sitting right there.

[brewgrl]

How could anyone say that about you Rosie? that is beyond me...
I was thinking about my husband.. and between the two of us, I think his Mother in Law might be worse, hahaha
my mom comes to live with us for a few months of the year when she's in the US. She likes to rearrange our dishes, and feels no issues with going into the closet to borrow stuff. She is also the smartest person I have ever met, and the smartest person almost everyone I know has met- and she's uses it to feel superior.
oh- and she cant ask my husband a favor directly- she goes through me, even if he's right next to me.

Wow, those are some crazy stories. MILs from hell!!!
I can honestly stay my future mother in law is awesome. She´s funny, openminded, has a big heart and she loves me. I was so relieved that she´s not the cliché MIL. I can honestly see myself calling her "mom" in the future, whenever I´m married to her son.

When she met me for the first time she didn´t know Shawn and I were already engaged. I even took my ring off when I was around her, we didn´t want it to be too much at the first time...kinda like "hey mom, this is Andrea. She´s from Austria and btw we´re engaged too".
When we were on the plane after the stay Shawn got a text message from her that said "I just wanted you to know that Andrea is a wonderful young lady, I already know she will be my future daugher in law one day. I´m very happy to have her in my family". That made me cry soo bad, it was just so sweet.

Aww that's so sweet Andi! You're very lucky >.<
