We are cordial to each other and try to find ways to connect, but it`s difficult. She has a good heart but is clueless about boundaries and doesn`t know how to be a mother to an adult - she`s always trying to `teach` us stuff. She doesn`t take constructive criticism well at all, and when I try to tell her I don`t like what she`s doing, she gets really mad and says I`m being ungrateful.

My MIL has her ways. She`s in her late 60s and is very traditional. she never says her opinion directly, but exhausts you trying to guess, until you get frustrated and mad! but I manage to stay nice to her, and remind myself that she means well, and mostly that thanks to her, this amazing man is here, and he`s all mine! :):):)

Mine is a total beast! Much the like wedding she almost ruined with her antics, she`s trying to take over this pregnancy as if it were hers! The shower has to be all about what she wants, the registry is suposed to be all about what she wants, she thinks she`s taking off from work when the baby is born to stay home with me---there`s another thing coming. She`s generally very difficult to deal with,but at least we`ve learned since our wedding not to put up with it anymore.

I voted, but technically she isn`t my mother-in-law, but she is the Grandmother to my little guy. She treats me very well and buys me things(eventhough we didn`t really get to chance to know each other before I found out I was pregnant). If the father of my baby was more like his mom, we probably would`ve worked out. Instead, he`s like his Dad. And neither of them treat her very nicely. I hope that you don`t mind that I voted. :)

Never met her! My husband and I have been married for over 10 years now. She doesn`t want to meet me. She has never come to visit. And we`ve never talked on the phone. Isn`t that funny. I don`t hate on her though. She`s like that cuz she`s an old grumpy woman, old fashioned, and can`t really grasp the whole interracial thing. My hubby is White and I`m Black.

I love my MIL, but sometimes I can`t stand her. It all started when she wanted me to `keep my options open` meaning abortion or adoption. She gets on my nerves sometimes. She says things that are so hurtful but acts like she doesn`t understand why I am upset.

I like my MIL; she is kind and helpful. However, I have to distance myself from her. She can be domineering and condescending in unobvious ways. I don`t trust her because she can manipulate. How about you?
