I am so sick and tired of we mothers-in-law being negatively portrayed on TV, in the movies, in magazines and gossip columns! Does anyone here have a "good" MIL who has helped you in some way? I think the media is making a ton of money by portraying us all as "monster-in-law," and would like to hear some true stories of how people are helped by their husband's moms or step-moms. There has to be one of you out there, just one???? Gosh, we can't all be looking to steal your silverware or negatively impact your life! Even my own mom used to refer to my MIL as "his mother," in a derogatory way. When I look back now, she was just jealous that I had a new woman in my life. I should have been more open-minded. I think it's part of the status quo to hate having another woman in your life -= eternal strife? Not always, I hope. Can you think of ONE positive thing to say. Mine would be that my MIL taught me how to drive, albeit because she wanted me to get my kiesta out to work, but at least she taught me a bit of independence.  |
