I think it is funny the number of people who like their inlaws compared to the number that do not. I know this is not a very accurate count of the likes and hates since there is not a "control" on the people giving their opinions here in FC, but I find it interesting just the same. I actually struck up a cnversation with my closesest friend girls the other night on this topic. Out of the 6 of them, only 1 actually liked and respected their inlaws, most were okay with the father in law, but nt the mother in law. That really is not saying a lot about us as mother in laws ladies lol!
I know my fathers mother is just awful to my mother, but they agree to disagree and make the best of things. Grandma really just has a problem with my mothers housekeeping and career choice, but that is not for her to judge in the first place! My mother is a professional and does very well for herself and my father. As far a her housekeeping, their house is spotless all of the time! I swear you could not find dust with a white glove test! I think that means grandma is just a bit envious of my Mom!
My mothers mom is really good to my dad. To my knowledge they have always treated each other with respect and gotten along really well. In fact she treats all of her daughter and son in laws very well and equally, just like her children and grandchildren...and a few great grandchildren. I hope that I can mirror my NeeNee when my child gets married and treat their spouse with the kindness and respect that NeeNee does. I certainly do not want to be one of "those" mother in laws!
