Mine passed of cancer when she was young so I never met her.

I get along great with mine but she is most definitely not a compassionate or giving woman. My wife said that her mom has told me that she loves me as many or more times than she’s told my wife. She came to live with us earlier this year and while it was going just fine it was most definitely a major disruption but one that we were willing to endure. She’s 84 and very capable but she liked being waited on for everything. I came back from the coast fishing and was informed by my wife that her mom was having another one of her outbursts accusing my wife of treating her poorly. It started over the amount of propane we’ve gone through in the 8 months she’s lived here. I filled up (300gal) for the 4th time this year when for the past 12 I would’ve filled it barely twice in the same time period. My MIL likes to do the dishes all day long (it seems) and it’s using a lot more propane so my wife asked her start using the dishwasher to conserve hot water. My wife couldn’t have framed her request anymore politely or non-threatening but my MIL interpreted her request as terrible mistreatment. My wife is FAR FAR more patient than her mom deserves and she puts up with a lot from her. That was the last straw for my wife….my mother in law said that she was going to go home as soon as she could find someone to drive her the 200 miles home. I gave my wife a nod and she said “mom start packing, we’ll take you home tonight”. My MIL said that she’ll stay and deal with it but my wife wasn’t playing that game anymore. We drove her ass home last night and eliminated the stress that was enveloping the family.
After I unpacked the truck at her place last night at 11:30 she told me that she loved me and thanked me for always being there to help her. I told her that I loved her too. I’m glad that her and I are still on good terms after this. I internalize all the sh.it I’m given so that I can make life a little easier for my wife. My mother in law is a difficult, selfish and stoic woman from a bygone era where only the strong survive. I’m not used to that, my family is compassionate and generous. My wife and I went above and beyond for her. We’ll do anything for the ones we love and care about but we won’t be “abused” while breaking our asses for you. I’m still pissed off about the entire thing… Sounds like our MiL''s are kin somehow....... We're going for some more abuse today.

Mine's gone.
She lived next door (1000 ft away across the field). Wish she were still here.

I loved my MIL and FIL and enjoyed being around them. They were good, hard working people.

Wife #1's mother was a great person. She died of leukemia at age 55 after a valiant fight. That household was never the same after her passing.
Current wife's mother passed before we met, but from what I've been told, she would have never been a contender for "Mother of the Year".

My mother in law was good to us. She helped us out a lot when we were just married and struggling. I do miss her.

I was blessed when I married my wife. I got a sweet and loving wife. She learned to be sweet and loving by the example of her mother. I have always got along with my In-laws. That sweet lady passed away just two months ago. I wish she was as still here with us.

Very easy thank you. They both are dead and buried.
