To LIKE Mil?

[YeahButWhatIf]

God, am I the only one?

Mine's OK. She's fairly harmless. I've had a couple of barbed comments in the past, but in fact we rub along quite nicely.

Mine is OK. So is FIL's wife.

I just wish they wanted to see the DC more often than Christmas and birthdays, oh and Easter.

MIL lives 2 miles away.

NU at all, if you Get on Well together that's great.

No, I like mine too.

But if you don't like them you post on here about it. Which is why it seems everyone hates theirs.

There's just so much MIL hate on here. If it wasn't for them you wouldn't have DH. Ah...I see it now...

My first was great and my second ..... Well growing used to each other.

Mines alright too. Looks after my oldest dd all day and older kids after school two days a week for free so i can work. Is friendly and helpful and all that.
Now MY mum otoh, is a vicious cold hearted bitch... but my MIL is just fine.

Mine's lovely :)

Mine is awful, she collects dd and ds3 from here takes them to swimming lessons, washes their kit, feeds them, brings them home every week. Babysits when we ask, no emotional blackmail involved. Is looking after all four dc while we go to a weekend wedding in a lovely hotel!
Do you think I should get dh to tell her to sort herself out!!

She is as nutty as a box of frogs though.

My mil is awesome she looks after the kids, is really thoughtful and got me a radley bag for Christmas.

I love my MIL.

The other day she said to me 'I couldn't ask for a nicer DIL, you're a lovely girl' and gave me a big hug.

It is strange that these hated women produce the man you want to spend your life with! If her genes missed out a generation they are quite likely to turn up in your children, you seem to be taking a huge risk! I look like my father's mother and I am like her in character, so it is just as well my mother liked her.

I still love my exMIL, and exFIL, like them more than i like the ex.

I love mine!

Mine is marvellous. I love her too.

I count my blessings twice when I think of my dmil. She was lovely-adored me and the dc. She ascribed equal pride to one of her dc getting a phd to a grandchild getting her 5m swimming badge. Both pil were eccentric but in a largely endearing way. And they liked my parents. Tbh though I didn't appreciate them til I found out how dreadful other mils can be on mumsnet

Who is going to start a thread about someone they have no issues with? (Apart from this thread!)

So you won't get an accurate reflection of how most people feel on any forum. Likewise Behaviour is full of people having problems with their kids' behaviour, rather than threads talking about how average they are.

Oh, and my MIL is a grade A bitch. EA. but DH likes his MIL!

I get on great with mine (well I'm not married yet but as good as) in fact I was friends with her before I got together with her son!

I'd like to like my MIL. The fact I supported DH through therapy to deal with her treatment of him makes it somewhat challenging.

Given I have three boys I'm taking lessons from DM who is adored by SIL.

erm... my son in law likes me, I think. he overheard me telling his wife to be nice to him ...

I like mine. Shes lovely.

I love my MIL - she is a truly lovely person - witty, intelligent and kind, and she has taken my side when she's felt dh needed a bollocking.

She had very major surgery for cancer, nearly 2 years ago, but it has spread to her lungs, and chemo hasn't done more than halt its growth. Just thinking about it is breaking my heart.

It's lovely to read these. I hope I'm a good MIL when the time comes.
