Do you like your mother-in-law?

Bit like Termite but less attempts to get it right. The first one we both used to call Attilla the Mum. Really bad news and neither of us saw or spoke to her, and my ex still doesn't as far as I know. We worshipped the very dirt she treated us like (everyone actually).

The second one though is fantastic. Apart from being a fanatical Sydney Swans supporter. Maybe that's because they kicked us in the GF. Never mind. My wife reckons her Mum likes me more than she likes her, and she's meant to be the favourite kid. Maybe it's because I finally got her daughter out of her house.

I Love my MIL we all call her Pin but thats just her nic-name, she's a hoot, she does tai-kwando (spelling) and line dancing and is so full of energy and she's in her sixty's she has worked at the same high school since before her three boys went there and is still there and always has exchange students from all over the world stay with her, and they love her enough to call her their Aussie mum. She's supported her local community in and out of the high school and has been such a big contributer to the local soccer club in their little town (Oakey) that they've named a road/lane after her that leads to the soccer club, she's coached little wee fellas in soccer and takes part in anything she can for the high school, and would cut off her right hand for you
Pin is Great, she even sews hundreds of dog coats for dogs in shelters all over Australia as part as the knitted with Love crew.

My FIL Pins Ex well he's one of the most arrogant prats I've ever had the displeasure to come to our home, he turned up out of the blue after not seeing his son for god knows how many years asked me what I was doing
(at the time I was studying for an exam) and makes the comment
"Women should be on their backs or in the kitchen" they should not be taking up spaces at university " ( I nearly had to restrain hubby or it might have been patricide then and there. LOL

He's a bit of a joke but I do believe in Karma he ended up at one of the hospitals I was working with and I was sitting with my niece and he came over to oogle at her (she's a bit of a stunner ) and he (sleezy old dog)
asked if the nurse could help him to the toilet (he was having a problem with his catheter) Yeah Right
"She turned around and said "Sir I am a neurologist on a very much needed break but I will certainly get some help for you"
And who should turn up but one of the biggest wardies I've ever seen
I nearly wet myself, couldn't wait to ring hubby to tell him
He came home that night and said to me See Lou there is a God
Apparently made his day

I used to think mine was ok if not a bit weard, but I've chainged my mind lately. Wife has had a bit of trouble with pregnacy and had to stay in town 300 km away from here, and it was far to much trouble for her mother to look after her. We heard nothing but wineing about how much work it was so I moved here to her fathers a bit farther from the hosiptal. Wife remembered why she left home when she was 13.

A while Back I mentioned my MIL "Pin" well we just found out that the school where she works has nominated her for the next year Aussie of the year for Community Service
I got quite choked up about it she deserves it
one of those good teary feelings that make you happy like when you hear something good on the news (Not that that happens much these days)
Cheers Bio

Brilliant news... is ghreat to hear good stuff for a change we are all sick of doom and gloom

Love mine unconditionally!

Wouldn't trade her for the world.

Second only to my own......

suck.

She was watching, wasn't she.

My first MIL was a real nasty piece of work.:mad: Took great delight in telling me her sl*t daughter was doing someone else in order to get me out of her family.:eek::eek: (good riddance I said).;)

My new MIL (18 years now) is a real gem.:) 78 years old. loves life, a punt, me and I'd do antything for her and I do.:) My own mother is a fat pile of dog do who lives 10 minutes away and who i haven't seen or spoken to since 1987 (and that was to tell her to FO):mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

My MIL hasnt been any problem at all since the funeral:D :D :D
