Mother In Laws

^ Whilst i understand this is GD, and most of the responses will be from un-married forever alones, can we please accept the 'mother-in-laws are dragons' as staple canon.

sauce: The loathing of mothers-in-law is a global phenomenon. The Scottish anthropologist Sir James George Frazer remarked, "The awe and dread with which the untutored savage contemplates his mother-in-law are amongst the most familiar facts of anthropology."

Margaret Mead, also an anthropologist, put the boot in when she said, "Of all the people I have studied, from city dwellers to cliff dwellers, I always find that at least 50 per cent would prefer to have at least one jungle between themselves and their mothers-in-law."

Well my mother-in-law is a ******* nightmare and is getting worse as she gets older. She's like a an evangelist for the Daily Mail. She comes out with the most inane stuff possible - for example my eldest lad has nose bleeds every day, she told him everybody has too much blood and that's how boys loose it as girls have another way :eek: Thank god the wife sees her as a batty old woman and tries to discourage visits as much as is possible,
 
Mines a hateful lying vicious witch with alcohol issues who used to bully her own children verging on abuse. How my wife still rings her every week I will never understand.
 
I had the best Mother In Law ever and didn't have one mis-word in the 33 years I knew her.
She was devoted to me because she had 5 daughters and I came into her life when I was 16.
She was also wheelchair bound & blind but never moaned about it ever.
She even had cancer eating away at her for a very long time but told no one because she didn't want to upset anybody.
I'd give anything to have her back.
I miss you Mum.
 
I was married once - but I have to say my then MIL was really nice. In fact it will be hard for any future MIL (if it ever happens) to top her. In fact my ex's folks are still cool with me and even email me to say hi lol.

The side-effect of a very amicable divorce.
 
Mine seriously does my head in at times but she's pretty sound in all honesty. I just find her a bit much. A volume control would come in handy too, she's used to talking to her deaf father and forgets that she doesn't need to bellow every conversation she has :p

You should wear some of those big over-ear Mickey Mouse ear-defenders that the ground-crew people use at airports heh heh.
 
Mine Always without exception absolutely Love me once I am not riding there daughter. :confused:
 
My girlfriends mother only kissed me on the lips twice last night and only sat on my lap for about 10 minutes. It used to be much more. :(
