MIL threads from the other side

[candr]

Just realised that the title makes this sound spooky. There are loads of MIL threads on here and loads of women seem to have DH's that just won't stand up to their own mothers about the treatment of their DW or DC. Does anyone else wonder what your DH would write in a MIL thread about your own mother? Most DH's I know actually seem to get on well with their MIL it always seems to be the wife that has the problem - does anyone else think this and is it down to their mothers feeling no woman is good enough to replace them or is that A bit U?

I thought the title indicated a thread about dead MILs complaining about their DILs from Beyond the Grave!

My partner is sweet to my mother, but thinks she's a bit of a nut, and he's not wrong. We live in a different country to my mum, so most of our contact is on the phone, and he cracks up listening to my end of the conversation, which is always (from my mother's end) a litany of deaths, illnesses, disasters in the local area etc etc. More seriously, I think he's very aware that she was a damaging mother to have in many ways, and how much I have built my life on not resembling her - he's very perceptive like that.
