If you thought it was hard being a good Mom, you should try being a good mother-in law! Just thinking about overcoming all the hype surrounded by the name is intimidating. The mother-in-law has been the butt of jokes for centuries! Not just this century and the last but for thousands of years! If cave men got married, I’d just bet there were mother-in-law jokes way back then too! So, what’s a mother-in-law to do to prevent the eye-rolling, under-the-breathe moans that happen when ‘she’ calls? Is it possible not to be an annoyance to you child’s spouse just because you are ‘the in-laws’? Most definitely, yes! How does one go about doing that?

on 6/5/2008 Number 2 sure is hard! ;) I'm lucky though. I have the world's greatest mother in law. When she comes to stay I actually beg her not to leave. :) And my daughter in law is the sweetest gem on earth. She calls me every day and we always end by saying I love you.

on 5/6/2008 This is a great article; I enjoyed it. Here's the deal in a nutshell: Mother in laws are to shut up. Don't dare be yourself because if you do as you've always done, watch out. Remember, she's looking for something. Always looking for something you say or do. Now, who in the world in their right minds would want to deliberately run their own son off? The real answers are to walk on eggshells, keep silent, smile, never offer a comment. If she treats you like carp, let her. You must sit back and take it. If she's nice to you, consider yourself very lucky.
