Oh goodness.
They can't ALL be crazy?
I mean...you guys have sons...would you treat the women they marry like dirt?
Definitely NOT! I'd go so far as to say that even if she's someone I really don't care for, I'd do my absolute best to NEVER let her know that. I'd suck it up and play the game.
A good friend of mine is going through something similar (she also has a crummy relationship with her MIL) and now her DS23 and his girlfriend are expecting a baby. They've been together a while. She likes the girlfriend but is concerned that their relationship won't withstand the pressure of a child, it's a rocky relationship and she is ultra controlling of my friend's son. Anyway... she ran into a situation where she needed to stay with the two of them for a couple of weeks. She went out of her way to help out the girlfriend but not overstep her boundries. The girlfriend even commented on how awesome and unimposing she was.
We've learned our lesson well from our over controlling, inconisderate mothers in law and we do not want to do that to our future daughters. UGH. NEVER!
I think there is a different set of rules when it's the mother and her daughter vs. the mother and daughter in law. You have a lot more freedom to speak your mind and tell your opinions to your own daughter....not so much with the daughter in law.
This is a constant topic of conversation between us.
Yeah I can definitely see your point. My mom always tells me what to do and what NOT to do but I just roll my eyes and go yeah mom uh huh.But if it were my future mother-in-law I'd be POed. My mom can try to tell me what to do cause she's my mom...she made me...it's in the mommy handbook.
It's hard enough to hear it from your own mom, much less a total stranger. The thing is, as a mom, you're used to being in charge. Guess what? Not in charge when it comes to their relationship. Tough to remember, I'm sure. I'm sure it's not easy. But...screw it up and you pay forever!
That's my boy!
My friend's Mom died on Saturday check this out and let me know what you think:
We were begining to doubt where our son came from-wasnt sure he had our genes.
I told you the story about DH uncle dying last year and his aunt sending a card last year and this year Sorry you couldnt make the funeral. OK so this P's me off. Now I am scheming. I said I need something sarcastic to sign on a card I send her. Well at first Tim said sign it the same way-Sorry we couldnt make the funeral. Then a couple miniutes later he starts laughing and says No Sign it "See you at your funeral". We all died laughing
Ok! What do you guys think---

I really just don't know what they are looking for here. 
Thank you!!
It's a dancing blue banana and it signifies a frozen banana which is an inside joke on the Twilight thread about Edward Cullen.
thanks

After all, if one of our WONDERFUL SONS married her, she must have some great qualities that we can discover like a "diamond in the rough" or the Princess and the pea. 
Ok...so I need some help. I am posting an online resume on the National Aquarium in Baltimore's website, and it asks for a descriptive phrase. Now it doesn't give me an example or anything...it just says that it is a 35 character max and it says that it wil prominently be displayed as the first thing recruiters for a job will see about me. What I want to know is...what in the world do they want!?
Anyone got any ideas on what I should say?
Congrats on the new baby, how wonderful!!
