do u like/dislike your mother in-law and if so tell me why.?

Answer 1

I love my mother in law...she is awesome...great with my kids and just fun to be around!!!

Answer 2

I have very mixed feelings about my mother-in-law. I married my best friend's brother, so I knew her a long time. She was extremely mentally ill and took her own life less than a year ago. She did a lot of damage to her kids before that, but she was still just a person and not all bad. I've learned that forgiveness isn't a yes or no thing. There are days when I forgive her and days when I don't. I hope someday I will continue to forgive her.

Answer 3

My Mother-in-law can be the biggest pain in the tush you could ever hope to meet. She refuses to listen when we tell her to stop buying clothes for the baby (we've got dresses with the tags still on that won't ever fit the baby), she butts into any personal business we have (we won't be out of a doctor's office 2 minutes before she's on the phone wanting to know exactly what happened), and she doesn't give a crap about any decisions you have made for your personal life (I did not want any sort of a shower, she gave me one [it's personal, but I seriously didn't want it]). She's pushy, she's demanding and she's a pain.

She's also just about one of the most wonderful women I've ever had the chance to meet. She's taken me in like I'm one of her own kids. My own mother could care less about anything that's going on with me. My Mother-in-law cares about my life and my happiness. She is funny, sweet, caring and so tender hearted. Don't get me wrong... in that little lady lies the heart of a lion, and God help you if you hurt one of her cubs!

Answer 4

My mother in law still treats my husband like a little boy she doesn't believe he should have to even take out the garbage. She didn't make him do **** when he lived at home and she still feels that at our home he shouldn't do a thing.
Plus one yr at my kids b-day in front of all our guests she had the balls to tell me my dog was stupid and I was stupid for getting a stupid dog.
Plus I found out she had told my husband to dump me before she had even met me because of my age and she treated my like **** up until 2 years ago when her other daughter in law got knocked up by another man. Since then she has been very nice to me.
So after telling you all this I'm sure you can make a good guess as to what I think of my mother in law.

Answer 5

my mother in law is a horribly irritating beast. I have learned to ignore her and she is not allowed in my house. She cannot watch my kids or anything. She is rude, a bad influence and one time when she was allowed to watch my kids for about 4 hours, my little boy (5 at the time) told her his stomach hurt. She was too lazy to get up and help him, told him to get some water and be quiet. My 7 year old took care of him and held him while he was crying. I got home, and to make a long story short, my son was in emergency surgery 2 hours later with an emergency appendix operation and bowel obstruction. If I had not come home early, since I did not trust her, my son could have died.

Answer 6

My mother in law just died 3 weeks ago. I loved her very much and helped to care for her a lot in the final days of her life. I am so honoured that I was able to help her when I know she needed it most. She was a simple and plain woman of God, who loved her family and her friends, and she represented "goodness" to me in so many ways. She helped me with my children when I was a new mom and didn't know what I was doing, without getting in my face and making me feel like an idiot. She appreciated everything I ever did for her in a very genuine way and while she didn't have much money, she always had time for her children and her grandchildren. Thumbs up for that great lady.

Answer 7

I don't dislike her now but a used to really not like her. She was manipulative and it seemed she was trying to break up my family. I found out that she raised her children alone and she didn't understand that he could be a husband and a father and he would still be her son and he would still have a place in his life for her. After I understood this I made efforts to include her in parts of our life and to make sure he called and visited her. We have since become friends and I now love her.

Answer 8

When I was married, I liked her until I learned more about her. I found out she was a practicing witch (black), and that she had done many evil things not only to my then husband, but his brother and father, as well. She raised wolves and would feed them steak while she fed her family baked potatos and salad. She also had us over for dinner one night and kept pushing 'root beer floats' on me-I thought it strange and they tasted weird so I didn't drink but half of one-found out later they were pure alcohol and she thought I was 'frigid' so was trying to 'loosen me up' for her son!! She gave me a plant that is called mother in law's tongue and the strangest thing happened-after I divorced her son, one of the leaves grew very long. Funny.

Answer 9

I somewhat distance myself from them (mother in law and a sis in law) because they are simply PLASTIC people, I respected them, yes, because they are much older than me and they are my husbands family but thats just it.. Somehow, I would say I don't like them. Maybe they hated me because I now got hold of my husbands ATM, he's a seaman. But I really tried my best to show kindness and be accepted. I did not stop working so that I can show to them that I am not 100% dependent to her son.

Answer 10

I'm divorced now and a major part of it was my mother in law. She tried to run our lives and succeeded in many ways. On all major issues and big decisions my ex discussed with her rather than with me (financial decisions, buying our first home, etc). We were expected to drop everything and spend every holiday and birthday and special occasion with them and we had no opportunity to create our own traditions. It was her way or the highway and I took the highway!

Answer 11

My mother in law was a wonderful woman and a terrific grandmother to our children. She's since passed, but I think of her fondly and appreciate everything she did, esp. around the holidays for everyone.
