“How did your mother-in-law behave when you first met her?

Answer 1

i married her

Answer 2

she was a very loving mother-in law and now 11 year's down the line she's a real ***** maybe she thought i wouldn't last that long oh well I'm still here and were also still very much in love so i would say to you it doesn't make a difference if you mother-in law like'syou or not because she could be putting on a good show just for their child so you won't know until later on in to the relationship.

Answer 3

I have only ever met her once in 20 years, and that was because I wanted to show her that I existed, so I turned up at her home and knocked on the door!! My father in law answered and thought for some reason I was begging for money (i had my son in his pushchair) he called to my mother in law and she came to the door, I tried to explain who I was and when the penny dropped she spat at me!! She said I had ruined her sons life!! I am English and they are Indian, though my husband was born here. They have never visited our home, sent cards or even acknowledged me since that day, they have missed out on 2 beautiful grandsons who are now 17 and 15 and ask questions as they would!! my husband and I have had a wonderful 20 years and God willing have another 20 in front of us, yes, they coould have saved their son a lot of heartache, some folk have shi* in laws but some folk have shi* parents too!! I hope someone reads this and knows who the parents are and shames them!!

Answer 4

My mother - in -law was so nice when i first met her. and has contiued to be that way. she would do anything for me and her son (he is an only child). Just to see us happy. She sometimes puts her nose into places it doesnt belong. But i was raised to treat other peoples parents with respect. And i do that with her. It works, she does the same for me. I couldnt ask for a better MIL. She recently gave me and my husband the money to put a downpayment on a house.

Answer 5

She was all right. Worked a bit to get to know me, that lasted about 30 minutes. Then she didn't like anything about me. LOL I am not kidding. (If I had been raised in a small town, dropped my consonants, never read a book, and stuck to gossip and the weather as my topics of conversation I'm sure I'd be fine.)

She is still waiting for my marriage to her son to fall apart. (She's on her third marriage, we've been married for nearly 30 years.)

The sad thing is, as long as I am not around, she seems to be a rather well-intentioned person. She just hates men and marriage.


Edit: I want to add that my husband's experience was the opposite of mine. His mother-in-law (aka my mother) has treated him (and all of my sibling's spouses) as one of her own children.

Answer 6

She didn't say much the first time she met me...then we went out to dinner and she talked about her childhood and told lots of stories. She said to me, "All I ask is that you love him," meaning my fiancee. After that, her and I developed a deep and wonderful bond that lasted for 3 years, right up until she passed away 3 weeks ago after a 6 month battle with two cancers - two weeks before my husband and I's first wedding anniversary. I will remember her always and miss her greatly.

Answer 7

She was ok, then she got a bit humpy about stuff, my Brother in law found the same, BUT one day when were decorating her bedroom and found her 'Rabbit' and a 'dirty Video' in a draw the tables turned, we never said anything and nor did she but she must have relised what we found or she had forgot to hide and has been as nice as pie since, the randy ***** :-)

Answer 8

She was ok to my face (till things got serious between me and her son) but she would call me a wh**e and all sorts of other things when on the phone with him-- she never realized her big mouth could be heard loud and clear thru his cell phone and I was sitting right there. She and I still do not get along. I have friends who have great m-i-l's though, so good luck.

Answer 9

My FMIL was optimistic but caring when she met me. Even when i did the dumb thing of getting drunk in front of her, she still remained nice to me, and has even accepeted my children as her own grandchildren. She is an awesome woman and I couldnt have asked for anything better!

She is still that way till this day and told me that she would be honored if i were to become her DIL.

Answer 10

to be honest she looked me up and down and from that moment I knew I would never be good enough for her first born. 16 years on I am still not good enough but we get on and she is there for me when I need her and I am there for her. We have a mutual friendship which has got better over the years but we both know where we stand

Answer 11

She was ok until we got engaged then her true colours surfaced.I should of buried the ***** in the back garden when I had the chance.She didn't accept my son from another relationship even though her husband had adopted her eldest daughter,I had another child with my hubby and she treated her different to my son,so I don't bother now.
