My mother in law is a wonderful sweet lady. I love her very much. I don't like how her children (my husband included) treat her. They take advantage of her (her daughters) and tease her (my husband). But that is how they are and it isn't my place to say anything. I wish we lived closer so the kids could see her more. We used to live about 300 miles away and would visit every few months but now we live over 800 miles away from my husband's family so we never see them. Last year I wanted to go there for Thanksgiving and cook a big meal for her but we moved and it was too far to travel. She has Parkinson's so I worry about her a lot. They finally got her medications straightened out and she is doing much better. Before she could barely stand without falling over and now she is walking with almost no problems. It is great to see.

I love my mother-in-law. She is very sweet. I just dont have the connection with her that I would like to have. I was never really close to my own mother and so i was a little disappointed when i found it hard to get close to my mother-in-law. I had been hoping we could have a stronger relationship and do some of the things that my mother and I didnt do. Its ok though. And I am a woman btw.

I am female and I wish I could say that I like my MIL. My husband is not crazy about her either. We are trying to foster a better relationship with each other, but she is one of those people that are just sour and hard to get along with. She holds grudges and feels that I stole my husband from her.

My ma-in-law is a woman who loves to pick on things. Though, she does get appreciative at time. But, she is overly fond of her sons.

I've never met my bf mother. He hasn't seen his parents since 2002. I've never talked to her...only communicated through email a few times...he doesn't get along with his parents...But to me she seems nice...thoughtful and caring! he doesn't know i've talked to her...i don't know what his reaction would be!

I am female and throughout the years got on very well with my mother-n-law, although from time to time we did not agree on some times. Sadly, she now has dementia and has no idea who she is, let alone who we are.

Well, we have had our moments, but there is one thing that I really dislike about my mother in law, and she is a woman. Is that she has 2 children my husband, and a daughter, she treats her daughters kids alot better than she ever treats our kids, and that hurts our children very bad, so we dont see them very often.

My mother inlaw is definitely a woman, but some times she behaves like a man.

I am female and I am not sure I can say publically here what I think of my mother in law. I will just say that I have tried for years to win her approval. But if it isn't enough for her that I love her son and take very good care of him, I don't know what else I can do. It's ok though. I know how to avoid her most of the time. LOL
