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

My former MIL...... never approved of my very existence, and insisted, to her daughter (my wife) and anyone else in earshot, that wifey could have done much better in her choice for a mate.
This witch was also a rabid born-again-Christian zealot who found fault in all who are not Bible-thwacked fundamentalist Baptists, including yours truly. She had a real joy lambasting my theosophy (not specified here) and my profession (biologist), since many of the things I believe (ie. cold hard facts of biology and other disciplines) are contradicted in the Bible. (I will not even bother to mention some of the ridiculous things that have come out of her mouth regarding dragons, floods and the age of the planet.)
(Now ex-)Wifey and I divorced because she was in love with someone else, and had committed adultery with that person. MIL was ever so happy that her daughter had broken my heart and our home.
nota bene: 'mother in law' is an anagram for 'woman hitler'.
