Re: lets get this board moving!!
I LOVE, love, love my MIL! I am very lucky to have her. That said ...
I don't cook. Period. DH knew this from probably our second date. I am not domestic. We have a deal currently where he does all the cooking and I do all the dishes and clean up. It works for us for now. We have an agreement that when we have kids and I stay at home, I will learn to cook. It sounds fair to me.
But my MIL is CONSTANTLY bringing up how cooking is easy and how I should just try it, and it bugs the crap out of me. Every time we have a meal together, she calls me into the kitchen to watch or help, and it just bugs me because I know why she's doing it. The way I see it is that if DH is OK with me not cooking, that's all I'm really concerned about ... and everyone else can mind their own business!
Not a huge deal in the scheme of things ... it's the one thing that bugs me about her! Otherwise, I am a lucky, lucky lady.

I like my MIL, she is really nice and not too intrusive, BUT she drives me crazy with her pickiness. She is crazy picky with food and it is borderline embarrassing when we are out at a restaurant or on vacation. Also - with bathrooms. She is nuts about public bathrooms. Whenever we are somewhere and I go to the bathroom, she'll wait and ask me how it was. I'll be like, it is a bathroom...if you gotta go, you gotta go...who cares if it is dirty or clean when you got business! Sheesh!!!

Re: lets get this board moving!!
she has no filter. she says things that most people would think but would not say so sometimes it can be hurtful/embarrassing/rude when she says things.

Re: lets get this board moving!!
I get along well with my MIL, and I've very fortunate, but that being said she is very protective and nurturing almost to a fault...I think BIL is the only one that turned out normal LOL. DH, being the first born son, is clearly the baby Jesus and shouldn't have to do anything for himself, so he was very coddled, and now I'm trying desperately to retrain him, and it's nearly impossible to housebreak a 30 year old man. And SIL, the baby and the only girl...she's super sheltered, not allowed to drive, I'm shocked she's even dorming at school...but comes home on the weekends, is driven to and from, every move monitored. It's a classic case...the eldest is entitled, the youngest is sheltered, and the middle is free to come and go and get away with anything.
I mean, my parents were strict with me growing up too, but I was instilled with a little more self sufficiency, which I wish would have been instilled at least in DH a little more.

I don't even know where to start, although my biggest problem all stems to his father's illness and his mother's denial.

Re: lets get this board moving!!
Awww I DO LOVE MY MIL!!! She is so awesome. But sometimes she is a little ditsy. Sometimes we have to explain things a few times for her to get it. For a smart women sometimes she is a lil duh headed. lol
Also sometimes it bugs me that she has to call DH for every single thing wrong with her computer. Sometimes its simple things & she still calls Dh. oh well i guess ill take these minor things over a MONSTER IN LAW. Im very lucky to have a GREAT MIL!![]()

Re: lets get this board moving!!
I have a good relationship with my MIL. We work in the same office, for the same lawyer, so I see her 5 days a week, 7 hours a day.
Some of the things that annoy me about her are:
1. Instead of calling DH she just asks me everything.
2. She constantly drops hints about not wanting us to move out of Brooklyn.
3. She badgers DH about money all the time.

She is ALWAYS late. And I mean ALWAYS. To every single family event, to every single dinner, to every single THING. When we are supposed to be somewhere in 10 minutes, she either just stepped out of the shower or she isn't even home yet. It drives the whole family nuts. On Mother's Day, she decided to work (she owns her own hair salon) and she said she would be home by 2pm. She knows we split the holidays and spend the mornings/afternoon with them, and then we spend the late afternoon/night with my family. 2pm came and went. As did 3pm and 4pm. At 5pm, DH and I finally left to go to my parents house. We heard she didn't get home until after 6.
This is DH, my SIL and me waiting for her... As you can see, we are all miserable. lol.
To top it off, Saturday was her birthday. Dinner reservations were 7pm. We had to push them back to 7:30, and then to 8. She finally came home at 8:30 and we got to the restaurant at 9.![]()

Re: lets get this board moving!!
For the most part I do like my MIL...
But she says things alot of the time without thnking and doesn't realize its hurtful. And I AM NOT SENSITIVE!
A few examples:
'Oh your dress is beautiful, it looks just like Angela's' (DH's ex wife)
'oh I know the shirt you have, its cheesy'
She wore a white dress to my wedding...
I'll stop here...
