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 Think I've Done All Right"His dad, however, remarried a total loon as well as being one already. They have pictures of their 'guru' all over the house, give thanks to 'the great spirit' before dinner, and attend Anthony Robbins talks (I live in the UK. Who does that over here??). "
I used to sell tickets to Robbins's UK conferences. Worst job I ever had. Bloody awful, it was.
Anyway, the mother-in-law...I met her at our wedding. She lives far away from us, so it's unlikely I'll see much of her. Lovely lady, though, and we email each other every now and again, as well as having brief conversations whenever she rings my wife. She wants me to call her "Mom", though, which isn't going to happen. I'm British, for a start, and I've already got a mum. We don't go in for all that calling your in-laws "mum" and "dad"...I couldn't do it without cringing.
Father-in-law is great. Stayed a few weeks with him, and he's a great laugh. He's one of my best mates. He emails me jokes all the time, and in return, I often send him choice cuts from B3ta threads, which he really appreciates.
