moist- it softens the skin.

If you can manage a moist heat it works best because the overlying skin will soften with the water. If you can't, then heat from a heating pad is just fine. I'm not sure in the long run it makes a significant difference, since it's the heat increasing the blood supply to the area that is the key to bringing it to a head to drain, not the water. Whichever you can use easiest is the best choice. Better to use what source of heat you have than do without.

I had quite a few boils when I was a teen.My D.R. told me to put Epsom salts in hot water and take a cloth and wring it out in the water and place it on the boil as the cloth starts to cool off wring it out in the hot water again do this for at least 15 minutes at a time several times a day this will help the boil to open and drain and he said if it was above the mouth to see a D.R.it is dangerous.

Great list, I am not a MIL but a soon to be DIL. My FMIL has done everything the exact opposite of your list. She has actually called me a B**** to my fiance! Needless to say our relationship is not good and anytime I went to see her was purely out of obligation. My FSMIL (Future Step-Mother-In-Law that is haha) on the other hand is AMAZING I really do love her like she were my own family and my FFIL too. The four of us get along so well my fiance and I always make sure that we visit. Sometimes we'll go over just to play a couple rounds of a board game or watch a movie. FSMIL always gets invited out with my family when we do women's outings. Actually his fathers side of the family and my family have blended pretty much seamlessly, it's terrific. The biggest reason behind all of this is FMIL tried to control our lives and we got to the point where we decided our relationship would not work if we were living for someone else. We decided to live for ourselves and our relationship is a million times better for it. His father's family and my family don't try to control us and we love to spend time with them. I think you should add that to your list, don't be controlling
