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

MILsI don't mind my mother-in-law, but she certainly has ... tics. She and my father-in-law (and my husband, me, etc.) are heavy-duty cat people, and so as to charm her we sent her photos of my charming gato.
Her response? "Tell Tullia she has a lovely pussy."
... Okay.
Then there was the time we started showing her infinitecat.com, thinking, "Hey! Cat pr0n! This will delight her!" and she started crying because every third cat reminded her of some dear departed kitty of her own. Not, in retrospect, our best idea.
