I get along well with my MIL -- we live 600 miles apart and see each other once or twice a year. We had some serious words once (actually she had the words; I hung up on her. She called right back and threatened to beat the p*** [pee water] out of me if I hung up on her again. The next sound she heard was *click*) My husband called her as soon as he got home and really read her the riot act, but still in a respectful way. If he hadn't stood up for me then, we probably wouldn't have been together for over 31 years now... I love her, but she now knows to keep her nose where it belongs when it comes to our household. (Sadly, she doesn't seem to recognize that boundary with other people...)

My husband has a VERY good MIL

He loves her, she loves him, and has never tried to be anything but loving and supportive to both of us. It is so sad that there are MILs and FILs who would rather force their own ideas (and mistakes) on their children and be "right" than be loving. For those of you who have inlaws like that, find an older person in your church or community group who can mentor you and be there for you. It is so nice to have an elder person who can give us insight and valuable perspective when we may not have the objectivity in certain circumstances to make the best decisions or to understand where someone else is coming from. If we take the time to listen, there is so much to be learned from our seniors... and from our children and teens, too.

I could be real mean to her and tell her the bacon is from the farm up the road.

Which it is, I'm hoping she wont notice that its not in a shrink wrap package.

As far as the eggs go, I am cooking my girls eggs, I figure they work hard for me and are proud of their work. So I wont disrespect my girls, by going to buy some strangers eggs.

If she wants to sit and watch us eat that is her choice, I know my father in law said he cant wait to have a farm fresh breakfast.
 
I never get to meet my mother in law. Both of my fiance's parents passed away before we met. But he DOES have to deal with my mother. As long as he treats me well he is ok. I have seen the woman pull out a machete on an ex-boyfriend before and chase him off the front steps......
 
I actually love my MIL to death, but she's a great lady and knows when to keep her opinions to herself. With the result that we actually ask her for her opinions on things. I know plenty of people who don't get along with their inlaws though, so I'm very grateful for mine.

She was smart enough to keep her mouth shut when I first got married and was bound and determined that I wasn't having any kids. 13 years later she has two grandkids that she spoils rotten.

She eats our eggs too!
