Mother-in-Law: The Good, Bad and Ugly

[Smurfette]

Seems we all have a few gripes about dear momma,
especially her advice when it comes to our kids. I
thought why not dedicate a thread to MILs ...
afterall, one day we'll be one!!! :boggle:

My MIL calls twice a day from Italy and asks to
speak with Sophia and Grace each time. WTH?

My MIL asks DH if they "still look like her?" Meaning
me.

My MIL insisted on being in the delivery room as
she had done for all of her other grandchildren.
Thankfully the hospital had a strict policy on tag-a-
longs.

My MIL has said several times in front of me, "Oooh
the beautiful kids Nikita would make if he'd married
the Paisano."

My MIL asked if my house was temporary living
quarters. :realmad:

My MIL made me the most beautiful quilts ever!

My MIL always cooks my favorite meal when she
visits.

My MIL also brought push-gifts to me and the other 11
women on our floor that delivered that weekend. She
overheard me talking about them at my shower and
surprised us all when she brought everyone flowers,
See's candy cigars and Victoria's Secret gift cards.
My FIL attached his business cards to the balloons -
he never misses an opportunity to sell auto insurance.

Ooh! I'll play!!! :D

My FMIL hunts for information that she has about my FH that I don't have. Seriously. It's like, "did you know ______? Oh. He told you, huh? Well, did you know _______? Yeah, you knew that too? Well, did he tell you ________?" It's like she's TRYING to find SOMETHING that's going on in his life that I don't know about. :rolleyes:

My FMIL is NEVER on time. Ever.

My FMIL is annoyingly ditsy. I know she's a smart lady, but I don't know why she acts so ditsy sometimes.

My FMIL seems to honestly like me and my family.

My FMIL is one of the sweetest women I know.

Just an update to my Mother-in-Lawlessness

DH's fever finally broke and he crept out of his sick
bed and into bed with me at some point in the night.

His Mama woke up, saw an empty bed and busted
into my room with the wild imagination that his big
butt had been kidnapped.

She spots him in bed with me and drags him out
telling him he shouldn't be with me, he'll get sick. :confused:

I wake up around 8am to delicious breakfast smells,
go downstairs and there is NOTHING for me to eat.
She'd only cooked breakfast for her family. Her
excuse was she knew I was on a diet. Sophia shook
her fist at her. :laugh2:

Have a good day everyone! http://forums.onewed.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
