[Imnotdarrellrivers]

MIL (well basically) is wonderful wonderful woman (far better than my own) as is my FIL. It wasn't always but once they realised I wasn't after money. They became amazing, (if we stay away from politics :P )

[BuntyCollocks]

I adore my mil. She's fab.

[MissVerinder]

I love my MIL. I'm sure I annoy her more than she annoys me!

[fiveisanawfullybignumber]

My MIL is fab. She even takes some of my ironing. They are joining us camping tomorrow, in their own tent of course.

[OddBoots]

I have a MIL and a step-MIL, they are very different from each-other and from me but I get on well with both (and they are civil with each other too).

[faverolles]

I got on very well with MIL. We had our ups and downs, but she was lovely and a fantastic grandmother. She died 2 years ago and is very much missed - wish she was around to meet ds3.

[MillyR]

I will not comment on my MIL, but my SIL is a truly amazing person.

[bruffin]

I love my mil and ring her most days for a chat

[BrawToken]

I like mine most of the time

[3monkeys]

I adore mine - much more than my own mum!
She's always ready to listen and she sees the children almost every day

[MmeLindor.]

I get along well with my MIL. And with my mum.

It is a shame really that MILs have a bad reputation, when often it is the DILs (ie. us) who are partly to blame. There has to be a bit of give and take. And tolerance for the MILs doing things differently.

Not wrong. Just differently.

[PelvicFloorsOfSteel]

I get on well with mine (although she's a MOL as I'm not married to DP, maybe if she became my MIL it would all change!). She's great with the DSs too.

I loved my MIL. We were great friends, and had an amazing relationship. She was a great support when I left my DH and didn't take sides.

When my own mum died (they were also brilliant friends) she was such a loving support, and I relied on her even more. Sadly she died herself unexpectedly only two years later.

I miss her every day, and thinking about her always brings a smile to my face.

[PerryCombover]

I like my MIL. She's very bright and opinionated and overly controlling. She's also very spoiled and incredibly generous and kind hearted.
We have a great deal in common

She also adores her family and seems glad to welcome others into it.
I wish she lived closer and I actively want her to visit.

She's amazing but prickly...fab

[Tigerbomb]

I adored my ExMil and we got on like mother and daughter... until I left her son after being together 20 years

Then I was dropped like a hot potato and treated like the anti-christ. That hurt

My current MIL (and FIL) ... well lets just say hell will freeze over before I ever speak to them again

[Meow75isknittinglikemad]

Yes, I like my MIL. FIL not so much, but I don't DISlike him, IYSWIM.

[pozzled]

Both my MIL and FIL are lovely, lovely people. I'm staying with them at the moment and having a wonderful holiday.

[SquongebobSparepants]

I loved my MIL. She was awesome, funny, snarky, selfless, opinionated and bossy but so what, so am I. She always called me the daughter she never had (she had 2 boys)

When she died I read the tribute at her funeral and it was sad how many people commented that how lucky she was to have a DIL that loved her as much as I did, and not many MIL's did.

[hellhasnofury]

My MIL is a wonderful lady, I have all the time in the world for her. If I can be half as good as she's been when I'm a MIL I'll be very happy.

[goodasgold]

My MIL is one of my best friends. She is always cheerful, helpful, understanding and non judgemental.

When I had an arguement with my dh a week before we got married she totally backed me up. She is a neat mil. And a brilliant gm.

I think I am lucky, or that my dh picked a dw that was like his dm, so we all just get along.

[CBear6]

You're all very lucky and I wish I had such a nice MIL.

MIL was foul to DH growing up, she put him second in everything and in his own words his step-dad never treated him like a step-child but his mother did (illustrated by the fact he's closer to his stepdad even now than to his mother even though they're divorced). They patched things up a bit after he left home and she used to be okay with me until we decided to get married. There are no photos of she and I on the wedding day because she refused to be in any pictures with me and went table to table at the reception slagging me off, no explanation given and by her own admission I'd done nothing to offend or upset her she just felt I needed "bringing down a peg". On my wedding day. It got rockier after that but with smooth spots. Things have now completely broken down because she stopped seeing DS (2) in October. No reason has been given, she just stopped bothering. DH brought it up near to Christmas and made it clear she's welcome to see him any time and we'd love if she made more of an effort but no difference. It was his birthday last week and she completely ignored it, not even a text wishing him a good day. He's 2, he's done nothing wrong to anybody and she's his grandmother yet wants nothing to do with him.

It's actually lovely to see that MILs like mine aren't the norm and that so many of you have good relationships with yours :)

[worraliberty]

I love my MIL and I love my ex MIL too

WTF's wrong with me?

Rhetorical question by the way so stand away from your keyboards ladies....thanks

[PotatoesOfTheCarribean]

Yes, she's lovely. much better than my own mother who I'm not speaking to at the moment
