good question !!
I ask this because mine says extremely bizarre things to me, and I often wonder if she is truly weird, or just does not get it because she does not have a daugther of her own? At any rate, I am tired of getting offended by her comments, regardless of how 'she doesn't mean anything by it, she's weird'.

My FMIL has begining stages of Alzheimers so I really dont know how she feel about me. One min she is in love with me and the next she is cursing me out. I really wish I knew

DH is an only child so his parents treat me like a daughter. I also call them more often to check up on them like I do for my parents. DH calls me a kiss arse but I guess that's just a part of being a daughter.

FH has a brother and his mom and dad always wanted a daughter. i am lucky to say that they tell me that now they have a daughter.
this goes with saying that they ask me about when are we going to have children about day.

Re: If your fiance/husband does not have any sisters....
DH is one of 5 boys. His older brother has been married for 5 years and actually getting divorced but my MIL never liked her. She loves me! I don't blame her.....lol. We are very different and I have some issue with her (she drinks way to much) but we get along so well. Tuesday nights (so tonight) we do dinner b/c DH plays darts Tuesday nights. I feel I am as close with her as I am with my mom. I also think I am the exception b/c when I tell people this they sometimes don't seem to have the same relationship. I love her like a mom not a mother in law!

Re: If your fiance/husband does not have any sisters....
FH has 3 other brothers...no sisters. His mom is such a girly girl...sometimes I wonder how she lived with all boys her whole life!! We are extremely close...and since my mom and the rest of my family are in Buffalo and New Jersey, it's really nice to have her. I don't know what I would've done with this wedding if I didn't have her around to help me. She's an amazing person and I'm so lucky to have her as a future mother in law!!
I'm so sorry that she makes weird comments...I would say to just try to brush it off...try not to take it too personally.

What does she say?
Well, where should I begin? She and I were looking online at wedding gowns, I pointed one out that I liked, and she point blank told me 'oh no, you are too hippy for that'. Um, first off, no I'm not, and secondly, she's about 20 lbs overweight with large hips! Furthermore, even if it were true, does she really need to say that?
Another example: 'Oh, so I am assuming you will wear 7 inch heels'? (For upcoming engagament party).
When have I ever worn heels that high? C'mon!
'why are you having a DJ at the engagement party'? My parents are paying for it, they will do what they want. I can go on for days!

my MIL pretty much treats me like her own daughter... i've known her my whole life tho (DH and i grew up together) so that could have something to do with it

Fh has two brothers. FIL treat me as a daughter however bottom line is that I am not their daughter. FMIL made comments like 'the bride always stays with her mother' but when I invite her dress shopping etc. she always declines. FMIL is very cut-throat so I have to make sure to stay on her good side!!

My FMIL loves me! so i guess i'm lucky. lol
ETA: just ignore her negativity, and continue planning around those that are happy to be involved and are positive.

FH has a brother, and FMIL sees me as the daughter she never had. At our engagement party, the official announcement is made, and her response was to throw her arms around me and loudly say
'I HAVE A DAUGHTER!'

Sounda familiar - do we have the same MIL?
Mine is always doing and saying crazy things. Sometimes her behavior is down right inappropriate!!!

Re: If your fiance/husband does not have any sisters....
i commiserate with you girl~ DH has an older brother but his older brother is somewhat socially challenged. MIL says that she loves me like a daughter but it's very apparent and obvious that i'm viewed more as 'her son's wife.' it got really annoying during wedding planning at one point and suffice to say, we ended up spending half the time we could've spent alone on our honeymoon with MIL and FIL talk about doing inappropriate things!
