I had one of those Mothers-in-Law. She could be really rude to me. My wife was afraid of her. Once she stood up for me and her Mother really went after her. Nothing physical but she had a black belt in tongue lashing.
Saw the pic. Where is she on the crazy meter?
My MIL has made me more determined than ever to bite my tongue and be kindness itself to my future daughters in law no matter how much I do or dont like them.
In fact, Ive predetermined to like them just because they love my sons.
