Anyone on mumsnet actually like their MIL..?

[Tutulafromage]

I do
I have noticed that MIL’s get a bad rep on MN...anyone got any positives about their other half’s mother...?

ExH's mum was fab. I had way more time for her than he did.

Current MIL is a mystery, we have been together for almost 8 years and I haven't met her. She lives 100 miles away.

Mine is lovely and I get on better with her than my own mum on many ways x

My in-laws are lovely people, and I trust them totally with DD. They really helped us when the first few months were rough going.

Mine is really nice, she is a bit younger than my parents and in some ways I get on better with her as there is less of a generation gap.

I like mine. She’s hard as rocks, but adores her grandchildren.

My MIL is amazing, as soon as we walk in she offers me a glass of wine!

I love mine! She refers to me as her daughter and I call her mum. My mum passed away 10 years ago so I feel comfortable calling her mum. She is an amazing woman!

I loved mine, she died approx 25 years, wished she had not pandered to her son quite so much though.

My DIL hates me, but we are chalk and cheese, I can live with it.

Mine is lovely and very respectful of boundaries. To the point I often have to encourage her to get involved.
She also drives me totally nuts at times, of course! But so does my own DM

She's passedon now, but my MIL was absolutely brilliant!

Me! I love my MIL! She is a very interesting and classy lady.

I like her. Like everyone she’s got bad as well as good points but she’s kind, adores her grandchildren and generally does a great job of walking that tightrope that is ‘supportive without being overbearing’.

My MIL passed away 2 years ago, she was lovely and I was very lucky to have her in my life for 10 years

I love my MIL. Although I don't always like her. But she is an adoring grandmother and that trumps everything else for me anyway.

@Malala21 could you speak to your son first? A coffee sounds like a lovely idea. You sound lovely.
