@mrsmenow: My ex MIL was like that...she seemed nice at first, and then she made a ton of drama and victimized herself. Boy, am I glad I'm not part of that family anymore!
-
Nope, never. She lives in south america. I've only even met her twice and it was suuuuper awkward both times.
-
@oliviaoblivia: Who's this? LOL...that would drive me bonkers. I'd be saying, "who do you think it is??"
-
No. I'd rather gnaw off my own arm than talk to her.
-
Yes! I love her
she watches DD 2x/week so we chat when she comes over. We also have dinner over there once a month. We chat on the phone a couple times a week to make plans
-
No. She is very sweet but we do not talk on the phone.
-
once in a blue moon. i avoid it, it's super awkward. but she likes to ask to speak to me when talking to DH & she and DH are not agreeing on something or she doesn't believe him and wants to verify facts (like last weekend when she woke him up when she called 3 times in a row & then said he sounded like he had been drinking... umm... no, you just woke him up! ugh!)
-
Only when I have to. I try to make that rare and brief.
-
Ummm, no. When DH and I were just dating she was great, then as soon as things got serious and he wanted to buy a ring, she got real nasty. Ruined any possible relationship that could have been.
I let the phone go to voicemail, then tell DH to call her back.
-
nope--not because of any bad feelings, it's just not our style.
-
we usually email or text.
-
We speak in person, pretty much every day.. She lives with us
shes awesome though so its like having a 2nd mom.
-
@stlginkgo: OMG what is with that?
@Dapple Grey: Lucky ducky~!
-
@stlginkgo: that's on par with when my MIL said that she thought we would divorce when we got engaged. She said it after our first anniversary after a bonding event.
-
@cascademom: my MIL has shown me how to be the best MIL when my son gets married - by doing the opposite of what she did to me!!!
-
Yep. Once a wk? Every cpl wks? It used to be more but then she just kept getting more and more overbearing. I started setting boundaries and now its when I actually want ir nedd to talk to her. We also try to see them once a week. Sometimes i am there wo dh and I don't mind.
-
A few times a week to make plans.
-
Not often. It might be different when I have children, but it might not. We've had issues in the past and are past that now but we're still not that close
-
Not call, but if she's online, I will gchat with her, particularly because she gives great advice, and is absolutely hilarious. Also it can be funny to have conversations with DW through MIL, even though MIL is a 2 hour flight away and DW will be in the next room. Ah, the laziness of the 21st century.
-
We talk on Facebook moreso than on the phone. When we're up for visits, I'll hang out with his mom and sisters without him (he goes and hangs out with his brother and BILs). My MIL is super sweet. We don't have a lot in common, except that we both love DH and so sometimes it's hard to have conversations but with LO on the way, it's so much easier to find fun stuff to talk about
she is SO excited!
-
@stlginkgo: Yep, same here. There are so many instances I can go through in 9 years together and go "No, that's not how a MIL acts, I'll be sure to do the opposite."
