My MiL was lovely and we never had a cross word,,,,.we used to go for days out just us two.,,,,she would take me with her when buying new things.OH got left out. :-D,when she passed away she had named me equal share in her Will. :-).and she left me her most guarded possession her wedding ring.mind she had no other inlaws as OH is only child.,,,,,,,,,,She has been greatly missed.

My first mother in law was the devil incarnate. I truly hated her and then when he darling son turned I hated him too. My so called mother was the same and always told me she never wanted me , although so called sister could not do a thing wrong, the stars shone out of her A***. I went to Mother's funeral just to make sure she was really dead. I will do the same with sister. Second mother in law was the sweetest kindest lady and I adored her. Unfortunately we lost her a few years back and we still miss her so very much.

Good for your OH standing up to her <3 <3 <3

Not sure if this will help .

An add recently on the Telly here in Australia was for an electrical pest control device which plugs into an electrical socket.

The guy said words to the effect " I put a couple in the mother in laws place a fortnight ago and since then nothing's moved" ;-)

nice idea - stand up to her - I wish I had all those years ago, but it's too late now

Talking about sister-in-laws I got on fine with my second one although I could see she was a bully but when her mother died she thought she could take her mothers place and rule her bothers life, so much so they fell out over something silly and he said to me if anything happens to me I don't want my sister to know, I did let her know after everything was settled but she was not sorry that her brother had died. A very hard woman I must say her brother was the best one.

my OH was one of eight - four boys and four girls - the boys were fine, got on well with all of them and one of the girls was OK, but the other three were down and out bitches - three of them still alive

after my OH died I wrote a letter to two of them telling them just what I thought of them, especially the eldest one who didn't attend the funeral - she's still on the go - 90 years old - she was shocked to get my letter but I'm glad I sent it

My late mother in law was lovely, a real lady - never raised her voice or swore - and very good at maths - impressed me.

My late sis in law was fun to be with but nowhere as quiet as her mum.

I thought I was lucky with both of them but unfortunately lost sis in law last year suddenly and it was a shock to the family.

My Mother in Law is a real sweetheart. She's now 97, and I love her to bits. She's never been judgemental of me, though I am older than her son, and came to our marriage as a divorcee with a child.
She welcomed me and my young daughter with opened arms, and has always been ready with her gentle wisdom.

She is the only parent we have left, and we both cherish her.

Love you, Mum xxxxxxx

We are/were lucky LynGiN and I'm thankful .

my mil was lovely . the day we married she hugged me and said I always wanted another daughter.

hubby was the eldest of 3 .two boys and one girl.

we never fell out although we nearly did once when she took umbrage with our daughter not ringing her before she joined her hubby in Germany in the early 1980,s

hubby had come off night work to drive to Wiltshire to pick up daughter and grandson aged 10months and bring them back to us in Kent for an early drive the next day to Harwich for the ferry.

it was hectic , getting back early evening bathing the lad in the sink and putting him to sleep and us going to bed at 9pm for the early start. it was all go and we didn't even think to ring her .

she took umbrage even though I explained and daughter wasnt on the phone anyway .

when mum and dad had their golden wedding I said to daughter please send flowers from Germany even though she had cut her off and didnt send any cards for the lads birthdays or xmas .

when we went to the family gathering for the anniversary I said how nice all the flowers were and lovely flowers from our daughter and hubby . she sarcastically said I don't know why she bothered . well that's when I nearly fell out with her but held my tongue saying don't be like that mum.

she could be vindictive if you crossed her and got harder as she got older and after having quite a bad illness .

I did get on with her though and with dad and miss them as much as missing my own parents
