I have a MIL.

[Erin1700]

Thats it, I can't say anything else. Why? Because I was taught that if you can't say anything nice about someone, you shouldn't say anything at all.

So please, don't ask me about her. Anyone else?

 

[Liberty Belle]

I have one, too.

 

[RSoxFan]

I have a boss

 

[Nienor]

I have a mother-in-law. She lives with me and my husband.



I'll just stop talking now.

 

[phillybeth]

I have an ex-husband.

 

[CapeCodTenor]

They fill me with *grrrr*

 

[binny]

I have an MIL and 2 BILs and I will join you in your silence

 

[Grumpy's Gal]

HEY! A group I can finally join in on.

I have a MIL. I have a BIL. And I have a SIL.

I hope you all have a magical day!

 

[marlynnp]

I too have a monster-in-law

I always feel a pang of sadness when someone doesn't get along with their mother-in-law.

Mine was wonderful. She was Mennonite when I met my DH, and she welcomed me into the family right from the very beginning, when she very easily could have tried to break us up like their "church" was trying to do.

She and DFI lived right next door to us and we never had problems with them trying to interfere. Sadly, she passed away 8 years ago after a lengthy and courageous battle with ALS.

I still miss her...

I AGREE!!!!!

It's better to not even talk to them or of them -- I am so much happier this way!

 

[HelenePA]

I use to have a mil & fil, they have since disowned us and want nothing to do with us (the feelings are VERY mutual!)... best day of my life!

I have a FIL who single handedly raised my DH and his 5 siblings.

He is coming to visit for 2 weeks in June - Lord help me. I have already started cleaning!

FIL does come with DH's stepmother who he has been married to for 25 years so she is MIL to me, but she didn't give birth to DH and acts accordingly, unlike FIL

Sorry, gotta run, the liquor store is having a vodka sale and since I need to stock up

I think that is wonderful you got along with your MIL so well. I only wish I did. I tried, I really, really did. At our wedding she sat stone-faced and never smiled. My great grandmother later asked me privately if something was wrong with her because she looked like she was at a funeral instead of a wedding

It's a shame really because all she has done is drove her son further away.

I also want to say I am sorry about your MIL and ALS. My father is currently battling ALS and it is a dreadful, dreadful disease

 

[lilyv]

Oh, yes. MIL. MIL called me the morning of my mother's funeral. Reason for the call? She'd sort of gotten to the point in life where she just didn't "do" funerals, anymore, so she just wanted to let me know why she wouldn't be there.
After MIL died, she went into "she who will never be named status." And we NEVER talk about her, ever.

 

[HelenePA]

I wish I got along with my inlaws too, they use to be very nice to us.. VERY until dh's sister had her son. After that our kids were FORGOTTEN. At least my girls, they have TRIED to play favorite by only buying birthday AND christmas presents for my son. Every time the girls had a birthday party they would swear they would be there, his sister would show up and tell us sorry "mom and dad both have headaches" Stop over the house tomorrow they have their presents there... okay fine... So the next day we go with left overs on the way to their house we call and say we'll be there in about 10 min. They give us this run around Oooooh our heads still hurt blah blah blah dh is like well I have food I'll just drop it off with the girls and you can give them their presents we'll be in and out in 5 min... the phone goes silent... they say "well we dont actually HAVE their presents yet" Okay then WHY WHY WHY did you tell us to stop over?? Why did his sister go up to the girls and say mammy and pappy are sick your presents are at their house you can go get them tomorrow... Dont DO that! If ya dont have stuff for them FINE but Dont make them feel like you only care about Aidan.. they've seen you give him presents they are old enough to know what is going on... and its not like they have no money... they take trips to hawaii, paris, london... What ever they dont need grandparents like you...
