How do you feel about your Mother In Law ?

Hi Carmeta! I have a Chinese MIL, she's a PITA. She went so far as to try to stop our wedding by telling my husband that one of her friends had seen me at the shopping center with another man. She's done alot of other nasty things (and said other nasty things) as well. I think I've finally gotten through to her though. A few months ago she asked my why I was so nice to my new Daugher-in-Law. I told her that some day I would be old and need to live with my kids. I mentioned that it would probably be my daughter in law rather than my son that would be feeding me and changing my diapers, and that when that happens I would much rather be someone that the daughter in law loves - rather than someone that she dislikes. That really got her attention!

Sorry shes so rude. I am not married, but my boyfriends mother is a piece of work. She, like your mother in law, is very nosy, and can be rude. She thinks she is almighty, and is always right. She is a nice person at times, but most of the time she should just keep her opinion to her self.

my mother in law is ok...we dont hang out much, but i have really never had any problems with her (and her son and i have been married for 20 years!!)

There aren't enough words to describe my mother in law. She hates me and I can't stand her.... period!! lol Thank God in the 16 years hubby and I've been married, we lived far away from her. We're about an hour and a half from her now and aren't going to get any closer... lol She's a mean mean mean woman.

As a student,i don't have mother in law.(((LOL)))

mother in laws sometimes are concerned and ask personal guestions when they should not.if i do not want to answer my mother in law,i just change change the subject.talk about her favorite memories or foods.sometimes they do not know what to talk about.she seems open and comfortable talking to you.she sssounds a little depressed to me.we all have bad habits and she will not stop unless she chooses to.just point out that you are sad she is sick,tell her she is in your prayers.she thinks you care and sometimes wwomen can be open with other women more than men. susu22

I have had not much problem with my MIL cos she's workin gin another state and seldom comes back to where my husband and I are staying. even if she does comes back she will stay in her sis's house. She will just come over for visit. When we 1st moved into our new apartment she had some things to say but that was because we haven't finish unpacking stuff. I tolerated the music from her by telling myself that nah she's only here for a visit and after a while she's gone. So I just keep quiet and let the music ring. That was like 2 years ago. Nowadays when she comes to our apartment she does not say anything anymore. Nothing for her to say cos the floor is squeaky clean, bathroom has no slime, everything is in place...me a clean freak. But I am prepare...even if incase the music does ring, then I will pretend they are buzzing sound from the mosquite!!! LOL
