Does anyone actually like their MIL?!

[poochielove]

I have read loads of posts recently ranting about MILs/OH's mothers, well now i think about it since i joined really! Some of the MIL sound like satans spawn

I got on well with her until I moved in with her son when she got clingy. This was last February. And she's still the same. His mum and dad are divorced, so I have two MIL's

Not married but I still call her the MIL or outlaw. or Hitler.

I used to really like mine but since having Chloe she drives me mad. We have very different views on bringing up children but she feels she has to push hers on me on a daily basis. I don't think she likes me much anymore as I won't let Chloe go and stay over at her house.

I like mine

Aww, it made me really sad when I realised how many people on here have difficult relationships with their MILs. I get on pretty well with mine, although she did arrange to come and visit us a few weeks ago solely for the purpose of explaining to me why I definitely shouldn't let my husband be present at the birth. I'm yet to be convinced on that one, I must say.

I get along well with mine, but sometimes struggle to find anything to talk about b/c I find his parents SOOOOOO boring; they're 20 years older than my parents. My MIL is not the problem; my FIL is a pain in the ass, so much so that anytime DH starts to act like him he's requested that I warn him so that he can nip it in the bud early!

They live 80 miles away yeah and OH lives away from home so havnt yet got round to it really,whenever hes at mine we go see my mum as shes local to me but when ever i go over to his hes still 80 odd mile from them.TBH they sound a bit posh from what i can make out so lord only knows what they will think of me hehehehe

I really like mine. She loves to see Lottie but makes no demands and isnt pushy with advice. She is really smitten with Lottie and it is lovely to see how much she adores her.

I moan about mine at times, but to be honest I do get on with her really well.... yes we have our disagreements, mainly the fact she hates that Brian needs me more that her nowadays, but I do get on with her....

and just think ladies one day we will all (probably) be the MIL getting moaned about

Mine's lovely, better than my real mother in fact!

Mines just really annoying

She was really OTT when i had Beth and used to try and take over all the time. Wouldnt let me push the puchchair (I saw her knuckles actually go white where she was gripping it so hard once....stupid cow) She'd feed her, change her, gove her things like chocolate without asking, so wheni had Izzie i really held her at arms length. Now she's really overly nice which also annoys the hell out of me. She sort of creeps to me a bit now. Urgh, i just find her ver very irritating.

I sound like im being harsh, but she's only like this now because ive asserted myself. A few years ago i was a bit of a pushover and used to let her get away with things. She's buy us stuff and then brag to her friends in front of us which was horrible, then say things like "well, ive treated them" and pat me in a really patronising way. Gos she did SO much more but im cooking dinner, and ive not got time to count all theways she's pissed me off

She just does my head in. Dont really like seeing her tbh, she winds me up

Mine is nice enough but most of the time she gets on my bloody nerves!
I think shes a bit scared of me

I get on great with mine but i have had to work on it over the last 22 years.
