Do you get along with you mother-in-law?

[Blue_Roses]

I hesitate to ask this but damn, my MIL has really pissed me off today. I always bite my tongue when she butts into our business--giving her "advice"- but today was the last straw. It's not so much what she said, but how she said it! I finally told her it's none of her business! I'm still mad though. My spouse is so mad he doesn't even want to talk to her. But he's still her "baby"...:puke:

I wanna fuckin' screammmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I don't think I'm done with her yet.

[femmocrat]

1. What is it about MIL's?

My MIL is deceased, but thinking about her still makes me mad! She was so meddlesome.

Now that I'm a MIL, I never, ever offer advice or butt in to their business. I guess I should thank my MIL for teaching me that, at least!

Good luck... you're going to need it!

[Blue_Roses]

4. thanks...

I think today was the last straw.

2. barely

[Generic Brad]

3. I have never had one single problem with my MIL

She died 15 years before I first met my wife. My wife tells me that had her mother been alive, we would have never married let alone met.

[Blue_Roses]

5. lol

I needed that laugh. My MIL always waits till she's had a few drinks to let me know what she REALLY thinks.

[AlCzervik]

12. i'll give you the and only joke i know about in-laws.

what's the difference between in laws and out laws?







































Outlaws are wanted.

[Blue_Roses]

19. LOL!

awesome!:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

6. My in laws both passed away before we got married but my sil is a fire breathing dragon.

she's also 25 years older than me so she's kind of like the budinsky mil i always feared having.

My sil told me that "If my parents alive they'd never come to your wedding!!!!" Because her precious brother neglected to have a catholic priest at of wedding, that was him, i told him if he wanted one there i had no issue with it but he left the church a long time ago has no interest at all so of course my sil said that was my fault.

She was also pissed that i nursed my daughter, "I can't give her a bottle, thats not fair" well she could have because i had a breast pump but she never bothered to ask me.

7. I love my mother in law; in a way, we get along better than my

mom and I do. She's a peach. No woman could have asked for better, and yes, I've told her so :-)

[Critters2]

8. I honestly think I might still be married if not for my ex-MIL.

She was clear from day one that I was not good enough--or the right religion--for her son. Still makes me furious.

Sorry you're going through this. I remember it well!

[av8rdave]

9. I've been very lucky I guess....

Never had a problem with either of my MILs

[stuntcat]

10. if mine wasn't so baby-crazy

It really gets old dealing with someone who can't understand.. especially when they're such a huge part of your life, she OWNS the house I live in x( and it's been made very clear what's expected of me.
She's always intimidated me and it's partly just the in-law relationship, we're on either side of her little boy, but it's also the way she bullies everyone around her. I'm trying to learn to love it x( She's learning that I won't be bullied I think but she still has too much power in my life.

:puke: okay 'scuse my rant, sorry

[greenbriar]

11. Happiness is seeing your mother=in-laws picture on a milk carton

tehehehe


actually I love my MIL to pieces

its my mom I tolerate

[Rhythm]

13. Former MiL i hated... Oktoberain's mom is a gem...

I got lucky the second time around in more ways than one...

The wasband's mom was a horror, and drove me nuts the whole time we were married.
I'm not sure which one i was happier to finally be rid of, frankly. *L*

Oktoberain's mom is a wonderful person, and she treats me with the same respect she does the rest of her kids.
I couldn't ask for better.

[Orrex]

14. My mother-in-law is wonderful

Always eager to help but absolutely never meddlesome. She's funny, and I like talking to her. She's not wealthy but she's very generous; this past December she footed the bill for 15 new windows in our 80-year-old home.

Not to mention the fact that she gave birth to the girl who would grow up to become House of Kewpie.

Couldn't ask for better!

[My Good Babushka]

30. awww

you are too sweet!

[Orrex]

34. Just tellin' it like it is, my love!

[yellowdogintexas]

15. well, I have had 2. My first one was seriously mentally ill, and fairly scary

plus she had a mean streak.

My second MIL was my friend. I liked her from the get go before we were married and we remained good friends til the day she died. My husband was her oldest of 5 kids, but the next to last to marry. Our daughter, born when we wer 36 years old was the grandchild she thought she'd never have, I think. We named her for her grandmothers.

My husband adored my mother, and she really liked him a lot. She liked all of her sons in law a lot.

[fortyfeetunder]

16. No way.

MIL is a four letter word.
:puke:

[RubyDuby in GA]

17. Sorry you got a lousy one. My MIL is great!

Super nice woman. I truly like her :)

[Shakespeare]

18. She's not my MIL yet, but she's a peach.

And even better when you get a glass or two of wine into her. :7

[old mark]

20. I was very fortunate

my in-laws treated me very well, and they became my family too.

They are both dead now, and my real father(who is 91) seldom wants to speak to me, so which was the better family?

mark

[malta blue]

21. Mine is a

fundy - so you decide :P

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. I used to.

Now it's a bit strained.

[Blue_Roses]

23. I'm sorry

because I know how it feels and I often wonder, will this ever change.

Take care.

[BarenakedLady]

24. Not very well.

After my FIL died, my MIL and I seemed to get along better. But then she died too.

[AngryOldDem]

25. No.

Mainly because she treats me and talks to me like I'm a slow third-grader.

[MorningGlow]

26. I do, but I don't see her very often

I'm talking once every few years. Then again, she's the only Dem in her family--Mr. MG and his sister are both staunch Repubs. MIL can't figure out WTF happened there. So we bond over politics.

Sorry you're going through that, BR, but it is nice that your spouse is taking your side...kind of?

[Bluzmann57]

27. Hell I got along better with my Mother in law

better than I got along with her daughter. See, the Mother in law knew that I at least had half a brain whereas her daughter just liked sex and only sex. Just not with me...well, that's another story for another day.

[Saphire]

28. No problems here, I haven't spoken to the woman in 8 years.

life is peaceful.

[DarkTirade]

29. My grandma and my mom get along great. It's actually kind of funny.

They're both big into murder mysteries, and one day I came home from school and saw a new novel sitting on the counter entitled, "How to Murder a Mother-in-law". Jokingly, I asked my mom if that was 'educational reading'. She said, "Oh, I just got that in the mail. Grandma sent it to me."

:blinkblink: "Wait... which grandma?"

"My mother-in-law." :P

[redwitch]

31. My MIL was wonderful to me. So was my FIL. Miss them both.

I was fortunate and they were very, very considerate.

[Debi]

32. I don't have one - both Mr. Debi's parents died before we got married

He's stuck not only w/my folks but my dad's folks and my mom's dad...:banghead: He handles it pretty well.

[flvegan]

33. When I had one, yes, and very much so.

I can also say that my father in law was a great man. He taught me a lot about construction and tools, and he told the best stories. Funny as hell. Also, I highly respected his tours of Vietnam in the infantry. Good, loving, caring man.

[Tikki]

35. She was the best....

miss her so much. I met her when I was 15 yo so I
spent many (30) years being her friend.
