We women were put on this earth to serve them. I forgot! Silly me. I thought a marriage was about partnership. But you're right it's indentured servitude. Really it's prostitution because he's paying the bills and she works for him, so it's like he's paying for sex. Perfect. Why bother getting married at all?

No...I get along wonderfully with my mother-in-law. Not always, but she was never mean to me. Just took time and some maturation on my part. My own mother once took me to task for some complaint I'd made about my husband. She adored Chris. On the flip side, I have some co-workers with stories that would make your hair curl. I hope to model the two women I call mom once I get the chance to be a mother-in-law myself.VM Sehy Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03832671940615894037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-41351185325400962042011-06-26T08:49:07.891+10:002011-06-26T08:49:07.891+10:00@ Joanna - stepchildren, now that would be a good ...@ Joanna - stepchildren, now that would be a good blog post all on its own!Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-83682129798563258932011-06-25T14:18:55.994+10:002011-06-25T14:18:55.994+10:00You're right!

She was pretty possessive of her son though, come to think of it and she did critique my cleaning skills. My second mother-in-law, didn't have too much to do with her, because her son didn't want much to do with his family.

Hellish MIL are ones that don't step back and try to see things from the other side. Also, I agree that the MIL - DIL is the most problematic combo of the mix. Since you have a MIL-SIL one it should be easier. IMHO the combo difference in compatibility is related to gender differences.<br /><br />My MIL is good and even great sometimes but there are certain traits that I dislike and then start to see in her daughter.<br />"you are turning into your mother" is not the best opening for a conversation - is it?Bill Lislemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187273560129198423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-87922823227183677542011-06-23T03:20:10.823+10:002011-06-23T03:20:10.823+10:00interesting topic, Lilly and the video is hilariou...interesting topic, Lilly and the video is hilarious.
