My mother in law was a wonderful, kind, woman. I miss her. She was a lot of fun! Yep. Same with my FIL and my wife will say the same of hers.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

My wife’s mom passed before we were married. By all accounts a wonderful woman. If her daughter is any indication she must have been a sweet lady.
My wife and my mom are like sisters. I tease her about liking my wife better than me.

Father in law hated me unless he was drinking, been dead 20 years. He dies so MIL moves to my side of town. Brags about me to my face, stabs me in the back as I walk away. Tolerate is a good description

I’ve never cared much my MIL. She has a victim mentality that rubs me wrong.
She is a kind and loving person toward my kids tho, and my wife loved her dearly so I do my best which still isn’t as good as my wife did with my dad who was just kinda a POS.
They’re at the hospital right now. MIL has been suffering dementia and likely had a TIA today. Been super rough on my wife.
Please keep them in your prayers. This isn’t going to be fun.

My MIL is great. 84 years old but acts more like she’s 60. Only 20 minutes away and I invite her for dinner when I cook her favorite dishes. She’s a great grandma too for our kids and the only grandparent they have. I guess I’m really lucky…

My Ex MiL is Filipino, as a little girl she witnessed the Bataan Death March, spent the wars years hiding in the jungle while her father fought with the guerillas.
We have become good friends since my ex went sorta nuts and split. She’s met my mom three times over years years, both greatest generation, they keep in touch on Facebook.
Along those lines, my sister’s kid, now a Captain in the Guard, recently married a German girl, her German folks have been over to visit a few times. My mom and her German grandmother are both Greatest Generation, each was bombed as a kid by the other’s Air Force tho Germany got it worse.
She has some harrowing survivor stories, her and my mom are like besties now.

I get along with mine,she is 87 or 88.
She has a place in Phoenix and comes here when she is dying or needs something done.
Now she is here getting some teeth pulled and getting a new set of plates made.
She is just a spoiled little girl with to much money but to hear her talk she is about broke.
But i don't let her get away with much when she is on the rampage,it's fun.
