what can you say about your mother in law?

My mother-in-law passed on nearly 25 years ago, but I was honored and blessed to have known her for the short time I did before she passed away. She was one of those truly good people who was loved by nearly everyone who ever met her. She was the kind who never went to the supermarket without checking with all her neighbors to see if anyone else needed something. During the Blizzard of 78, which crippled the entire Northeastern coast, she took a dozen strangers into her living room and fed them and housed them for days until the roads were passable again. She welcomed me into her family with open arms, and I never once in five years heard her say an unkind thing about anyone. I know all the jokes about mothers in law - but mine wasn't like that at all. She was a wonderful and loving woman who raised a wonderful and loving man.

Let me just say, you are the lucky ones...heheh Most of the time I have friends who have inlaws and they are not happy with them. I don't know. Maybe mothers are really like that specially when the husband/wife of yours is their only child. They simply get jealous and afraid that they have someone to share their child with. And being loved their children also find it hard sometimes to pick one of you. But it's really not fair to choose one cause they both loved the spouse and the mother.heheh Way back then, I had a bf, his mother don't like me. Cause maybe she's like that in my story...he's the only son but he has a sister.

Hello my dear. Well i agree with that statement - if my mother in law wasn't born, my future wife wouldn't have been born also. I believe that my mother in law is a very talkative person, who works a lot, but likes her work to be appreciated - like most of us also do. She prepares a lot of food on holidays, and expects people to stuff them selfs - you really have to know when to say no :) She also looks very good for her age of 54 going on 55.

Hi ckyera! You are lucky to have a nice mother in-law. I haven't met my mother in-law because we live too far from her. But we do email each other and so far our relationship is good and I hope to met her one day.

She is my next mom!

Just remove the words, 'in law' from mother in law, you will soon realize that mother in law is really mother, not a monster but an angel.. thanks for this nice discussion. Best of luck. Professor

My mother in law is a great woman. I'm not sure why so many people think that their mother in laws are horrible creatures. My mother in law isn't. My fiance and I live with her and my father in law, and they are both good people. Without my mother in law, my fiance would not be the sweet, moral'ed person he is. I love him, and I know that his mom had a big hand in raising him.

i also had a great mother in law. my mom was far away from me so my mother in law was the one i only got, at that time. unfortunately, both of them are not here anymore.

nice caring woman . dear to me and all the family members!!

I am also blessed to have my mother-in-law. She is a wonderful woman. She is very nice and has helped so much with my 3 children. I have been with my husband since I was a sophomore in high school and have known her since then. She is very kind and understanding and is willing to lend a helping hand when needed. She raised such a fine, hardworking man and I am proud to be a part of their family. My mother on the hand is quite the opposite, so I am glad to have married a man with such a wonderful mother and I have got the pleasure of knowing a mother's love.
