What Makes A Good Morther -In-Law

my mother n law passed away before i ever got to meet her. i wish i would of had the chance. i know she was not perfect but due to things in our lives my kids dont have grandparents. it would of been nice for them to have one. my kids arent old enough to be married so i cant say what kind i am but i know what i am ot going to do. my mother is horriable to my husband. she is not allowed around so therefore she cant cause to many problems but she use to and still trys. a mother n law should mind her own business but yet be there if they need you. also be able to say no not my business as well. a mother n law should no matter what try to treat the in law like part of the family.

a good m.i.n always stays away 4m her son in law

A good mother-in-law should always be a beacon of light for both the wife and the husband. Having experienced already a lot in life, she is expected to be a source of guidance and strength especially for the newlyweds. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Because there are a lot of mothers who could not adjust their roles most especially to her son, which could be your husband now. There are still mothers who think that they should always be in control even of those who are already gone to fly their own wings. Surely, these mother-in-laws are of no help in making the marriage happy and successful. Instead, her presence has become a source of friction and enmity between the married couple. Some are really fond of intervening in the lives of their married sons or daughters. To these mother-in-laws: please grow up and show them the right path instead of becoming the reason for unhappiness. May the heavens pronounced your mother-in-law changed in attitude and orientation. May she realized the enourmous burden she has caused you to bear.

hahhahhah,cool.clam,coolness,loving....and all make a good motherinlaw

I am like you. My motherinlaw has always had her nose in my business from day one. I have always been at least semi polite to her, even though, I would have liked to strangle her at least once a week. She still to this day, after almost 33 years, runs over me left and right. She comes in my house, and takes what ever she wants, and uses my phone to make long distance calls, etc. I decided many years ago, that I would never do that to my sons' wives, and I don't. I don't give my input, unless it's asked for, and I am liked.

if i am to rate myself as a mother-in-law i would say a 10. i don't meddle, i respect their privacy and their decisions unless asked.

I think what makes a good mother-in-law is that she should be open to the change that her son/daughter has found someone to love other than his/her immediate family. In my case, I'm in a "confused" state right now when it comes to her. I don't know if she likes or hates me. She tells my partner she hates it when I don't visit her in her house, but when I do she says things that makes me feel bad. She does things that makes me think she likes me but on other days it's the opposite, it's really confusing. It seems she still hasn't accepted the fact that her son wants to start a family of his own now.

Well, I've only met my mother-in-law 2 times in 8 years, so I would say I have a good mother-in-law. We live a good ways away so we don't see her often. Mostly just phone calls.

I want my next mother in law to be rich, think I walk on water and have influential friends in the highest places. Oh yeah and a really really good cook so we can visit two or three times a week. wink wink nod nod.

i have a terrifyingly bad mil. she is driving me crazy. i also started a discussion on her in the past. it made me feel better. my hubby adores my mother. i dont know whats wrong with my mil. i have tried everything. she hates me. she uses her past to make everybody feel sorry for her.

It seems to be a difficult situation you are in.Time cannot change mother-in-laws overnight,very few found as said.But in actual situation it is difficult to find one mother-in-law who is good.

I love my mother n law to pieces but there are a few things that bother me..I really don't like how she just comments on things without being asked her opion..For example when it comes to my 14 month old...Things that I don't want her doing my mother n law basically tells me to back off...Also she tries to put me in the middle of the fight between my husband and his ex for the sake of their son together..Like she asks me has he called his son???Umm those are questions that should be directed at my husband not me I'm not doing anything wrong..I guess what I would look for is someone that would be willing to step back a bit..Let me ask the questions for advice..Not just hear the comments without being asked..A little space I guess..hope this helps that just my opion lol
