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

She's a teacherThe first meeting was terrifying as I really liked this guy (still together 6 years later) and I wanted it to go well. I was in college studying English. When she found this out she was asking what books I'd read (none of the ones she's read), whether I knew what very long, English language words meant and where they come from (I did know but rabbit in headlights syndrome made me forget how to speak).
Both his parents seem to like me. But his mum rattles my cage when she unexpectadly sneezes (imagine a bomb going off in a library), you make her a cup of tea and she will fall asleep with it on her lap and also when she says "I'm so tired. I was doing my marking and got to bed at 2am and dya know what? I was up at 5am doing the washing. I'm so tired" WELL GO TO BED THEN instead of watching your stories on TV!
Love her really.
