How do you really feel about mother in law? Do tell...

My mother -in-law is too good,she welcome the guest as like any thing .she is wonderful lady,she never used a harsh words.Her food preparation are very unique .Very one of our home are fan of her including me :-)

My mother-in-law is a really amazing woman, mother and grandmother. She is really fun to be around, and I'm just so thankful that I know her. I think that it's pretty much safe to say that she has adopted me. I'm glad that she has, as we are very close, and although my own mother is still alive and such, I'm really not close to my mother. We just simply don't have a good relationship, my mother and I. I'm glad that I have my mother-in-law.

Ok you have every right to be irritated by your mother-in-law's behavior. I don't believe it is anyone's right to go through cupboards or closets to see what is kept in the house. If she wants to know it would be easier for her to ask what you keep in your freezer. My mother-in-law passed away a little over two years ago. Not only was she a wonderful lady, we were friends also. I loved her dearly. She was meddling into our business when we first married but changed her ways. She was always there for me when I needed babysitting or just wanted to chat and get some advice. I miss her and know she is resting in peace.

I like my mother in law. We've had our ups and downs but I still like her. She made me mad when my husband was in the military. He developed asthma and they were going to discharge him and send him home. She got mad about it and said he didn't need to come home. It wasn't anything to do with my husband...it was all the military's doings. My husband had no choice. He wanted to stay but they wouldn't let him because he developed phycial induced asthma while he was there and he still to this day has asthma and every once in a while will have to use his inhaler and then lay down for a little while because it makes him feel bad. His mom fought with me about it when I told her he had no choice and then his grandma got in on it and they both were being mean to me. We weren't married at the time (only dating) and I told him he needed to take care of his mom and grandma or I was going to be gone when he got back home. They were fighting with my over something stupid and I wasn't going to let them keep bashing me for something the military was doing. It wasn't like I was making him come back home but you would have thought that they way they were talking and treating me. My husband took care of everything and you wouldn't think that my mother in law and I had ever had any problems. I guess she knows her son will take up for his wife (now as of 6 years) and she's super nice to me and to her grandson (our son). So I really like my mother in law and we get along fine now.

iam unmarried person. but if iam married with someone,my princip is my wife`s mother is my mother too, and my wife (someday) must think like that, my mother is her mother too , not only mother in law. so if the princip is begin from this view, i hope it can reduce many conflict between me and my wife`s mother or my wife and my mother. thanks

hi, i think i am a stupid person, i chose to live with my mother in law, she is a widow, only has ONE son who is my hubby..... honestly, i cannot stand her, she talks loudly, hot temper, dishonest, drives me crazy each day. i cried alot because of her, my husband doesnt want to move out, cos she is getting old now, no one will look after her, sometimes i just want to walk away, but i dont want to leave my husband because of her, i hope someone can give me advise....thanks

thankfully mine never lived close to us so i only saw her once in awhile. she never meddled like yours but she was very quirky and did a lousy job of mothering my husband because of her quirkiness. he has little or no life skills and that is something we need to be taught. he told me she never really did much for him and he was left to fend for himself and there was not alot of affection and such which every child needs to feel secure in life. she pays no attention at all to my son which really irks me and she has moved even further away in the past 2 years. no great loss for any of us really. she was never really there for my husband and he sees how i am with my son and realizes what a lousy mother she really was.

I have to agree that mother in laws meddle with their childrens life but there is always a line in meddling on your kids life. My mother in law and I had to argue on things for me to relay the message that I am not here to have her step on me but to prove to her that we can live with the decisions that WE make.

I don't have this problem because my husband's mom passed away before we got married. But even when we were not married yet his mom (bless her soul) will make comments that are polite but hurtful, and I felt that it's going to be a disaster if we stay together under one roof. As to his dad, he never meddled with our life, so I kind of like him. On the other hand, my husband always tells me that my mother is a cool mother-in-law because she acts as a parent to both of us, helps us specially when we have a financial problem, and has never made any attempt to meddle with our married life.

I loved my mother-in-law! We used to go out and play scrabble on her patio table. She didn't have a lot to say, but she was very wise. She passed away 2 years ago, but she will always be in my heart!! It sounds like your mother-in-law is more like my exes' mom. She called DCFS on me. That was a bad time!

My mother in law is one of the kindest woman I've ever met. She has been very helpful during my pregnancy and very understanding as well. Sometimes I feel she's more understanding than my own mother lol. People have warned me how annoying mom in law can be, but mine isn't like that. She's just too kind and I love her.

I don't actually have a mother in low so I can't actually discribe my words. To me a mother In-Law is defined as a good one, if she actually loves her non-related blood son/daughter like her real son. If it comes to treating them unfairly then I feel real sorry for the son/daughter as they probably will have problems through out their lives. So I suggest every mother-in-law to treat their non related children fairly and just love them, it doesn't hurt to love someone.

My mother in law visits once in a month and stay with us in our apartment. She lives approximately 500 kilometers away and I think that is better, because I feel uneasy whenever she is around. She is nice but like any other mother in laws, she also wants to meddle in everything. And now that she have a grandchild with his son (my husband), she implies to follow her parenting style, which makes me upset. I don't want her to interfere with our parenting style. I don't want to tell her directly, I just told my husband to tell her in a nicer way.

I never had a chance to meet my mother in law but I wish I would have she sounds like she was a beautiful woman...She raised a good son I know that.
