Mumsnet Talk

There, I've said it. The woman is a saint. Am I the only person who has a lovely MIL?

er no but most people who have nice ones have no cause for complaint, hence no threads

So that will be the end of that then?!

I have a lovely one. But she still drives me mad because she tries to be a good MIL.

Cant win

Mines fab too

mines amazing too

Mine is lovely, she's so much nicer and "normal" compared to my nutter of a mother.

Mine was lovely. She died a couple of years ago, only in her 50s. I miss her every day.

Me too shifty. My mum is difficult, to say the least. I feel sorry for DP!

Mine was fantastic and I miss her loads. She died 6 weeks before my last dd was born and we named her in memory.

Mine is amazing!! (And much better than my mum.)

mine is lovely too!
mother is hard work tho

My second MiL of three was, and is, lovely. If I could have picked and chosen I'd have kept her and just divorced her son, and my now DH would be her son so she could still be my MiL

Mine hates me. Lucky you for having a nice one.

Mine is lovely only reason I'm with dp

Antoinette I am very sorry for your loss.

Everyone - I'm glad I'm not the only one out there! I've got some friends with some tales to tell, but tbh, half the time I think they are the ones being unreasonable, and their poor MILs don't stand a chance because the rules change so often!

My MIL really stepped up when I was expecting DD2 and she just keeps getting better and better. DD2 is 9mo and I'd have really struggled if she hadn't helped out in the early days.

Mine is wonderful. She has 3 sons (no daughters) who are all lovely men and has been present at the birth of both of my children. She is a lovely grandmother to all 5 of her grandkids and is good company to boot!

I love my MIL.

In fact I tell her she is the worst MIL as I can never join in any threads about how rubbish my MIL is.

Mine's wonderful.

My mil is great!
She is too great though!
She is an amazing cook, she sews, knits, makes cards, and is just a general domestic goddess, while working full time.
She always thinks of the little things that I never would, like finding us cushion covers to match our bedroom.
She never judges, is always there when you need her and has helped me through some tough times with oh as she knows how difficult he can be.
My mum is great too, but no where near as Martha Stewart as mil.

My son-in-law's MiL is fantastic!

My MIL was lovely. She passed away last Christmas at 67, we miss her terribly!

My XMIL was the worst person I think I have ever met - if I had been on MN then I would have started many a thread!

Mine is nuts and I still love her to bits.

Nanny0gg LOL. Is that like me saying "DH has a wonderful wife" ?!

My MIL is wonderful. She never judges, never imposes, and never criticises.
