Take my Mother-in-law...There's a reason there are so many bad jokes about mothers-in-law. You don't choose them, they just come along as emotional baggage with your object of affection. I'm lucky, my m-i-l is lovely*, but don't let that put you off telling us how mad your in-laws really are.
*No, really

Orange CountyMy ex-boyfriend's mother was a manic-depressive alcoholic and, although to talk to she was nice enough, she had times where she was just a complete nightmare.
Thses include:
1. Hitting ex-boyfriend with the car when he was 14 years old, on purpose, when he tried to stop her driving when she was drunk. She broke his leg. Although to be fair I'd like to hit said ex-boyfriend with a car too so maybe thats not so weird.
2. Ex-boyfriend had a party when mother was on holiday with boyfriend. Mother comes back early crying hysterically because boyfriend has run off and left her. Mother then gets drunk and screams and bawls at everyone to leave, even though we were in the middle of the countryside. Ended up with people having to drive drunk simply because it was too far out for any taxi company to show up.
3. Mother's boyfriend stole £2000 from her bank account. She lied to the police and blamed her son (said ex-boyfriend) who was then interviewed about a million times and nearly arrested till his dad came in and told them about Mother's boyfriend. Mother gets charged with wasting police time.
Also, if youve ever seen the film Orange County, you'll remember the bit the Head of Admissions comes to their house and the mother gets pissed and humiliates everyone. Similar things happened like a hundred times at the ex's house. She is very like the mother in Orange County.
