Monster-in-law Is in the House

Mine tried to control us but did not get any where. She's gone now, may she have fun arguing with God.

Many people don't get along with their in-laws. It has to be really difficult to be in the same house.

No luckily I am not. I can understand how she feels a house for a married woman is her own territory for sure and no one should enter it and start to mess around in it.

I wouldn't like my husband's mother being nosy into my personal affairs and home choices, the way I wouldn't like my mother to do the same. I have no experience with those relatives, I never had the chance to meet any (and I've never been married), but I really hope they aren't as bad as usually pictured. My mother is likely to be an annoying monster-in-law too, I sometimes can't stand her and I'm her daughter, but that's all because she cares. With a man she would probably be worst just because "he stole my girl".

It is difficult to live in a one way method family. Adjustments and love needed for the healthy relation.

i think that usually happens because maybe the mother-in-law thinks that the wife is taking her son away from her;hence, the jealousy and insecurity grow between them. why won't your friend be friendly to her mother-in-law and not clash against her? she should point out to her husband and 'biyenen' that now, she (biyenan) did not lose a son, but gained another person to love her too.

I am lucky I have a generous and kind mother-in-law. Now that she is having mild dementia though, she is so stubborn. Though, we are now her guides in doing things. I think this is the problem of sons-in-law , the mother-in-law . It is also the same with the daughters-in-law, because most of them hates their mother-in-law. ha ha ha

I got along perfect with my mother in law. She was the nicest, sweetest person that I have ever met.

When parents and in-laws interfere in a couple's life it can destroy their marriage. They need to let people live their own way

My boyfriend and I aren't married but we have been together for 3 years and living together on and off for 2 of those years since I am in college and not in my hometown much. His mother and I get along great. She is glad he met me and wants he to hurry up and get completely moved out of her house so she doesn't have to worry about him anymore. We have a very good understanding with each other that I date her SON and not her and the entire family and it is the same with my parents. My mother tried the whole take charge in my relationship and I told her once she starts sleeping with him at night then she could make the decision and until then she can butt out. We date each other not our families and when we get married we are marrying each other and not our families. If we have a fight or disagreement, or a big life changing decision to make it is between me and him and NO one else.

I am still single, so I don't have any personal experience but I heard stories about this "monster-in-laws" and one of my sister shares everything with me about her mother-in-law. Even some monther-in-laws behaves like a mother to the girl who married her son.And it mainly depends on the person and her family.

I'm not married, but I have heard the same from both men and women sometimes - that either they get along really well, or that they don't get along - at all.

Thanks to God I don't have mother in law

@Shavkat I'm single as yet, but hopefully would get along well with in laws. Because even if there is little trouble at home, like misunderstandings etc, the impact would be horrible

The anagram of mother in law is woman hitler (lol)

I try to be a good mother in law. I've had a monster in law before and she made me feel so unwanted and my husband never took up for me. I had no one in my corner. It's a terrible feeling.

I don't have an in-laws yet but yeah, most thought that mother-in-laws are monsters because they check on them often.

No I have no mother in law they are gone.I hear weird stories on them.LOL

Since I had the worst mother in law when my children got married I made it my goal to stay out of their business and I have a great relationship with my daughter in law and all three of my sons in law

It was in the past when we were living with them, but not my mother-in-law who was so kind to me; it was another relative who loved to meddle in everything.
