How many of you dont like you MIL, Mine is such a pain she is very pushy and always tries to tell me what to do with my kids, and favors my boy other 2 children from his last marrige then my 2 girls i have with him, like she babysits for them all the time and calls the ex and has not once ever even offered to watch my girls so i dont care for her very much we have many other issuses but ill just stick with these for now
I too didn't always get along all that well with my MIL. Well, she died last November and now I miss her a lot. Just remember that even though she doesn't always agree with you, at some time she may be gone from you forever. There are times now that I wish that I was a little nicer or had tried a little harder. I';m not trying to be preachy but just talking from experience. Treasure her while you can.

LOL! Yes, I have some issues with my MIL...or should I say she has issues with EVERYONE! I do my best to get along with her because she live right near me. I am starting to get past the things she does to piss me off....I have to or I'll go !
Sorry you have problems with your MIL...I know it's not a comfortable or fun position to be in.
Feel free to let it all out here if you need to vent...that's what we're hear for. Hang in there!

Yes, I also have problems with my mil. I wish things were different. We don't realy cause each other discomfort or pain anymore (I have been married for 21 years so we have gotten past that), we will just never be comfortable with each other.

Whum, I am going to say that yes I do have isues with the MIL but I try not to let them get to me to much though some time she pushes me almost over the edge of no return. but I do have two and the other is wonderful. she just had her birthday and we bought her a dvd player!!!!
Just a thought here..... MIL's know their children better than we do. So they can us in our times of frustration with our other half's. At the same time bringing them into s is not acceptable and will snowball right back at us.

I too have issues with my MIL, she liked me before I married her son, but then it all changed. She's a very showy person, she wants everything just right, especailly around her church , and those she thinks she needs to impress!! She's full blooded Italian, and thinks she has all the right answers. She favors my husbands little sisters kids over ours, and it's plain to see....she thinks my niece and nephew walk on water while she couldn't even be bothered to come to one of our sons football games!!! My mother more than makes up for it though, she's like their second Mama & they love their Nana soooo much!!! I'm blessed to have at least one wonderful grandmother for my kids!!!!! My FIL is great though, my kids love him, he comes over all the time!!!

LOL My DH mom doesn't bother much at all. She will come down if we are desperate for a sitter, but is always late. My DH and her never had a close relationship. She does favor my BIL and his family over ours.
It is frustrating.....both of my boys played baseball this year and she never came to one game! The oldest played football and she went to one practice. My kids, my DH and I are extremely close to my mom and my DH calls her MOM and tells her that he loves her!
But I do respect her because she is my DH's mom and am civil. She isn't too bad just wish she would spend more time w/ our children, since the don't know her too well and she only lives 20 minutes from us.
My Inlaws favor my dh's brother and their family also. My daughter played soccer for the first time this year and they didn't attend any of her games but attended their other granddaughter's game.....and yes they were asked to come and told when all the games were. When we see them again I am going to have my daughter bring her soccer medal to show them and ask them why they never came to a game.
I don't care how they treat me....I am learning to get past their ignorance BUT I won't let them do it to my kids.
They go back and forth...one time they are the nicest people and the next they are just plain ignorant and rude...go figure.

We did that w/ my MIL as well Kricket. I even emailed her the schedule, would call and see if she was off and wanted to go. She said yeah! Wellllllllll, no show! So now I don't even bother much....for their school pics DH said just give her a 3x5 or wallets!
I am like you as well - You may treat me like that, BUT DON'T do it my kids!
All I can say is I am glad they are extremely close w/ my Mom who lives 2 miles away.
other 2 children from his last marrige then my 2 girls i have with him, like she babysits for them all the time and calls the ex and has not once ever even offered to watch my girls so i dont care for her very much we have many other issuses but ill just stick with these for now
