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

I don't have a MiL but this anecdote was told me by an old boss.He was drinking with 3 mates in his local (Welsh valleys) working men's club, and they started a conversation about their respective mothers-in-law.
One said his was an old dragon, another said his was overly snooty and house-proud, and the ex-boss said his couldn't boil an egg to save her life.
The last guy turned to them and stated, "I won't have a bad word said about my mother-in-law. She's a lovely lady, cooks a wonderful Sunday roast, I've never felt anything but a warm welcome in her house and she'll baby sit the kids at a moment's notice. They all love her and she never forgets a birthday or an anniversary."
Then he paused and the other three felt a little guilty.
"No, she's a fine woman, my mother-in-law." he continued and then added with venom, "It's her bloody daughter I can't stand!"
