As a Daughter-in-law, have you had problems with your Mother-in-law?

Hey cream, i dont have problems with her, she practically hates my guts!! we havent spoken for over four years and it suits me fine.. she isnt the nicest of people and doesnt get on with many folks... her family (sisters etc), neighbours and others have gotten sick of her over the years, she is quite alonely old woman now, and i dont feel a bit sorry for her. I tried everything to be nice to her but after having everything thrown in my face time and time again, i gave up. Theres only so much a person can do.

Sorry to hear that. But my mother-in-law is very nice, I'm not married to her son yet but we are engaged. I don't know if after we are married she will change. but right now she's great.

Hi cream97! I do have a sensitive kinda relationship with my mother in law. I do give her the respect that is accorded to her being the mother of my husband. I do have some difficulties with her being around because I really have to please her most of the time or else, she will be having those temper again. She is quite demanding and manipulative. I tried to understand her ways since she is all alone and is old. I did see her change somehow in the past year and I know she is trying her best to "behave" but there are slips once in awhile. Everything will be fine as long as I follow her rules and that sometimes burn me out. However, just to keep the peace around the house, I am being patient and understanding towards her. I do admit that she has some good inside her. She is kind in her own weird way. But what irks me sometimes when she gets into her bossy attitude and orders me around but in a very nice way. haha.. Take Care and God Bless! Happy Mylotting!

My mother-in-law and brother-in-law are my neighbors. They are the type that think they know just about everything. I avoid them as much as possible, only speaking to them when I have to.. not volunteering any information or anything at all nor do I invite them over for anything. I'm not rude to them but I'm not real friendly either. I hope you can find a resolve for your problem.. I don't know what to tell you besides avoid them as much a possible and only speak to them when you have to.

LOL I wish I had the answer. My MIL passed away a few years ago but before that we had major problems. She HATED me. She actually told me that I was the daughter of satan. She looked right at me, in front of my oldest child, and told me she would never love him like she loved our daughter. She called the state with numerous made up stories to try and get our kids taken aways so that she could have our daughter. It got so ridiculous that the state stopped taking her reports. She actually physically attacked my sister-in-law, who was married to my hubby's brother. Trust me, I don't know what your issues with your MIL are but they can't be as bad as all that. :) at least I hope not.

my mom-in-law was already deceased... but when she was still living, we didnt have any problems with each other, in fact, i remembered when i got sick and i was in their home, she took care of me and i really felt the care of a real mom... that's why i really loved my mom-in-law...

Just have an open mind and treat her like your Mom and she will of course be good to you. I love my MIL and the best part.. it's like I have two Moms :-)
