Today was a good day. My doctor appointment went well, so my Mother In Law took me out to celebrate afterwards. We went to Popeye's, for some chicken then to the grocery store for some fake seasonings. (Sugar for her, salt for me)
Almost everyone I know who has a Mother In law complains about them all the time. And the "mean" mother in law in the joke of many sitcoms. But my relationship with my mother in law is great.
What is your thought about in-laws?

How wonderful! Another good mother in law relationship. Happy to hear it.
I've wondered why so many people have trouble with their MILs. I mean, if she raised the man you chose to marry, the SURELY the two of you must have some common ground, you know?

@nonersays Not all because there are also daughter in laws that is hard to deal especially the attitude .My mother in law has a hard time dealing with my other sister in law,even other member of my husbands' Family,doesn't like her because of being boastful and a damn lier.I am not bad mouthing her or backstabbing,just saying the truth.

I have had good ones, and I hope I am a good one. I have a male friend who said mother in law jokes made him mad because that woman, his mother-in-law has always gone out of her way to help her daughter and him and the grand kids. I do not like that stereotype at all.

Well, I have never had a chance to go one on one with my Mother in-law.So I'm still green about this. Anyway, I have heard lots of issues in such relationships and in most cases the mother in-law comes out to be the pain in couple's marriage. I wonder where this hatred comes from, whether it is genuine of exaggerated for some reasons.

I'm happy that you got along well with your mother in law, and sorry that she is gone now.

I had an absolutely great relationship with my mother in-law. She never drove so I would drive her wherever she wanted to go and she also taught me a lot of things.
We had great fun times together and I always thought she was the best ever.
She did not stick her nose in our business and would only give her opinion when asked.
I have nothing bad to say about her ever.

I was always good to my in laws regardless of how they treated me but I have recently had a couple of potential daughter in laws that don't treat me very nice at all

My former mother-in-law and I didn't have a good relationship. She was very critical and sarcastic and she usually focused on negative things. I didn't feel at ease around her, I was always waiting for her next "attack". When my family and my friends met her they told me that they found her awful. My current mother-in-law is extremely different. I like her a lot and we get along really well. I really appreciate our good relationship because I don't take it for granted.
