The relationship between a mother-in-law and a daughter or son-in-law has always been part of comedy or even drama. It seems that people always expect in-laws to be at each other's throat most of the time. So, are you any different or can you always relate to those comedy/drama that would show conflict between in-laws?

I have a very good relationship with my mother-in-law. She treats me as her own daughter. She is a very nice person. Her relationship with her second daughter-in-law is also very good. We are a joint family, a very close-nit family. The credit goes to her.

I was just married a few months ago, and I'm not staying together with my in-laws. Generally, our relationship is considered quite good, as we can always chat together and my parents-in-law actually treat me quite good. They are not that kind of conservative and traditional parents, and they respect me too. Hopefully we will always have good relationship.

I think if you are all always honest and want to be good to each other ,it is easy to get along with,but often we can't do so.

Im living with my parents-in-law in years and I am, with my child, having a good time with them. At times problems and disagreements occurs but we see to it that it's over at the end of the day. My mother-in-law is ever supportive person, emotionally, financially and everything. She's our mother of perpetual help. =) She confides me from time to time. And we could share any problems, ideas and opinions, and also have a little funny conversations that come to mind even green jokes. We also have our bonding time, spa, parlor, gym, and etc. She's really cool. And am glad and grateful, God made me not live with them in a hell but in heaven... =)

I have been married twice and although i have been divorced from my 1st. husband for 25years, i still see his Mother and love her a great deal, as a matter of fact my two sons from my present husband call her Grandma. My current husbands Mother was wonderful and i also loved her a great deal and mourn the fact that we lost her earlier this year everyday! So although i laugh (or cringe as the case may be) at the way Mother-in-laws are portrayed on t.v. i really haven't had that experience.

My mother in-law and i, are doing well now. We can talk everything and even funny things. We love sharing each other opinions and ideas. She always buy me a presents and give stiff for me, which my husband complains sometimes coz he got nothing from his mum but i got something. Happy posting.

I have always had a great relationship with my in-laws. My mother in law and I are more friends then in-laws. She confides in me and tells me things her sons don't know about, we do research for each other, me on computer and her through newspaper items and in books. On birthdays, it is usually daughter cards.I know others that are not as close and hear some interesting stories about the malicious pranks they play on each other and the critisms, but I am lucky. Now my husband and my parents, well, completely the opposite, can't even be in the same room together.
