Is it because mothers-in-law are usually mean and angry since they are trying to control everybody?

just the opposite in our home my mother God rest her soul was incredible and for the two years my hubby had her for a mother in law he loved having her as a mom. She lived for her family and gave her all she was never controlling, mean or anything but wonderful to my husband.
my father on the other is a whole other matter he went so out of control that even though he "helped push" me and my hubby together 3 days before our wedding he flipped and offered me 4,000 to never marry him.
times have not changed either at times he loves and praises my hubby to the sky others he hates him and thinks I am dumb.
The only parent we make fun of him our home is the DAD.
Mom was a saint to have stayed married to the nut for 32 years.

Because you are putting women down so often you can't hear the jokes because you are too busy listening to the sound of your own voice.
Hey what did the father in law say to the son in law that spends so much time asking sexist questions to get attention?
He didn't have time to ask because he was too busy doing the dishes.

My wife has argued more than once with my mom. My sister-in-law has argued more than once with my mom. My wife's sister (my other sister-in-law) has argued with her mother-in-law more than once.
(& we're talking about not speaking to one another for a few months sort of disputes sometimes.)
...So my generation is 3 for 3 with the women fighting with their mother-in-laws.
The men in the family are 0 for 3. There have never been any arguments. It's not that we agree on everything, but nothing has ever escalated into any hard feelings.
I'm not saying that this represents every family, but it's certainly interesting.
If I had to venture a guess as to why that is, I'd say women might have a hard time seeing another women trying to tell her what to do or how to run her family's affairs. The men don't seem to mind the intrusion as much, if any. Maybe it's because we men have a hard time placing fault on our mothers. After all... It's mom.

Hmmm....interesting....I think because there is some kind of jealousy on the mother in laws' part that the wife took her little boy away and won't ever be able to appreciate all the mother did to raise him so well....while the father's are more inclined to let the daughter go -maybe because the woman would come back to her dad for protection? "Gain a daughter, loose a son."

As a mother passed her daughter's closed bedroom door, she heard a strange buzzing noise coming from within. Opening the door, she observed her daughter giving herself a real workout with a vibrator.
Shocked, she asked,"What in the world are you doing?"
The daughter replied, "Mom, I'm thirty-five years old, unmarried,and this thing is about as close as I'll ever get to a husband. Please, go away and leave me alone."
The next day, the girl's father heard the same buzz coming from the other side of the closed bedroom door. Upon entering the room, he observed his daughter making passionate love to her vibrator.
When he questioned her as to what she was doing, the daughter said, "Dad, I'm thirty-five years old, unmarried,and this thing is about as close as I ll ever get to a husband!Please, go away and leave me alone."
A couple days later,the wife came home from a shopping trip, placed the groceries on the kitchen counter, and heard
that now familiar buzzing noise coming from, of all places, the family room. She cautiously entered that area and observed her husband sitting on the couch, staring at the TV with the vibrator next to him buzzing like crazy.
The wife shrieked, "What the hell are you doing?"
The husband replied, "I'm watching the ball game with my son-in-law."

There isn't father in law jokes yet because you aren't father in law, yet, that's why!

No that's a stereotype. That's what those jokes do - they play on these kind of stereotypes for humor. This is the same reason why there are "dumb blond" jokes.
And there ARE father-in-law jokes. Just google it and you'll find some.

Ever sat across a table from a father-in-law and had him tell his daughter-in-law that "It's OK dear, all newlyweds gain a few pounds" or thier son-in -law "When do you think you will start making real money?". Typical catty discussions from mother-in-laws but most men I know would rather just sit back and be happy that the kids are not in thier house anymore.

My mother-in-law died almost 20 years ago and I miss her. We got along great.
