You sure know different people than I do!
None of my husbands have like my mother ... ok, maybe there is a reason! LOL
But most men I have known dislike their mother in laws, and don't like being around them.
As far as women ... I think it's twofold .. the two cooks in a kitchen thing and also, moms tend to be "no one good enough for my little boy".
On the other hand, I love my daughter in law, and get along great with her and she adores me (according to her and my son). And my son in law, I think he is great, but he thinks I am a bit odd. Again .. probably it's true, LOL!!
Have a good day!!

I wouldn't say "most, but that is the stereotype because there is no competition between a mother-in-law and a son-in-law, there is with a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law because his mom used to be the most important woman in his life, now you are. You want your MIL to recognize and accept that, she doesn't want to let go. It's a power struggle.

Most women do not like other women. Its worse in this situation because the wife and mother compete for some attention and then if your husband is a momma's boy its 10 times worse.

I adore my mother in law. But I believe the answer to your question is competition. The mother in law thinks the wife can't take care of her son properly and the wife is tired of the criticism and meddling.

No woman ever thinks a girl is good enough for her son.
Some show it more that others. Its a lot of psy issues. It does not mean that they can not have a good relationship. Most women can temper it. Most moms want there sons want to be happy.

The woman's mother-in-law is the same sex, so there is territorial competition.
The man's mother-in-law is the opposite sex, therefore they are not in competition.
