Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 The easiest solution of dealing with a bad mother in law is to move as far away from them as possible. I lucked out, when I got married we moved 4 hours away from both sets of parents and tried to stay at LEAST one hour or more during the entire time we were married. It definately keeps down on Mother-in-laws being able to butt in. N. > Well, in that one case I think you are paranoid. That show is hysterical and I would love to be on it myself!

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 , you didn't do as well as I did. We moved from NJ to Utah!! haha. I missed both sets of parents too much though. We moved back 2 years later. We actually lived 1 mile from my inlaws for 1 year then we moved there then 2 years later we moved back and lived WITH my parents for 1 year. That was hell. Then we bought a little trailer for " a little while till we saved up some money " . Never saved money and was there for 10 years. go figure. Now we live in a home right next door to my parents which at this point in my life is wonderful. I have 3 children and I am an only child so they are only grandchildren and it's nice for all involved. My mom gets to watch them grow up every day and I can send them over there when they get on my nerves and I feel that I'm going to kill them!!!! ugh. Well, I've babbled.

While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general. > > 2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Margaret, Jana, and all, We built our house about 7 1/2 years ago (literally my hubby and I built the foundation, garage, shed and kennel before I got sick-- the house is a Wausau home) And three years ago we bought more land around us and moved my mother into a mobile home there. It has been great since we all know the beginning part of fibro is a nightmare when we aren't sure if we are even going to live or not. She is the perfect Mom-- she doesn't butt in or come over every minute. She loves to cook for us and takes the kids anytime she isn't working!! I love my Mom. Maybe that is why I have such a hard time with my MIL. She has to know what we do, how we spend our money, and even what my family is doing!! Totally opposite of my Mom.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Well, I think i qualify for a Mother in Law... to several though my oldest has not officially been married ( she did not have a piece of paper) I just love my daughter and realize that for whatever reason she is with someone... or fallen in love with someone is not my business, but to be there for her and to support her through her happy times and sad times is my job after she leaves my household. I turned my head when she had multiple boyfriends here and there.. not like a lot but you know the "I am no longer with him, i am going out with this really sweet guy and I think he is the one,, " a few times. Then she started dating this one really sweet guy and they were together for 3 years and i got to know him.. even his faults and really liked him.. then they broke up.. then it was someone else..... and my daughter got pregnant and I accepted him right away because my daughter was smiling and happy and that is what she needed me to do ... KWIM.... I love my daughter... and I show her by accepting her judgement whether right or wrong as I would have wished my mother to do. And even though that relationship broke up as well.... i still accept whomever she says is making her happy... my daughter is not a bad girl .. she is really one of the non promiscuous ones , just has not made the right choices... we are all guilty of that in our lives, and we don't need someone to point that out to us when we are jumping with joy and newly in love and stuff:) When she calls me,,, and I thank God that she does call me.... i listen, talk to her,, and am very happy that she chooses me to confide in about stuff that normally you would not talk to your Mom about in a hundred years,, i know I wouldn't with mine... so It is how you love that matters. She is now engaged to be married to someone she has been with for a long time. I have never met him face to face, but have talked to him on the phone.. but I love the happiness I hear in my daughters words, and the laughter:) Hope this helps hugs you all Huggles you lots Sophia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
