My MIL is really a great person.
Although she can be really irritating at times, she will do anything she can for her family.
She's a little overprotective when it comes to either of her sons, but my dh doesn't dwell on it and trys to turn it off.
If he is sick, MIL will call everyone she knows to get medicine, If he has worked long hours, she always says 'son, you look like you're so tired' -- it doesn't matter that i've worked right there with him the same # of hours.
She will babysit anytime we need her, but we usually only ask if we have to work the weekend or at night. (We own our own business)
The one thing that really gets me is when we do work and she watches the kids at our house, she never tries to straighten up or clean up the kitchen, wash dishes she used,
then I have to come in to a nasty kitchen after working all day and cook supper.
She is probably my best friend after my husband.
I can talk to her about anything and be sure she isn't going to blab it to anyone else.
I can't even trust my own mother not to blab.
I guess you have to take the good and the bad together.
Even though she doesn't understand my chicken addiction, I would have to say I have a pretty good MIL.
