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

Goldfish Samurai ...My sympathies are with you too. Being told to 'just cheer up' is positively funny against 'demonic possession'.
Anyhoo, MiL is actually very nice and friendly, but just rather ahem 'set in her ways'. I usually bite my tongue, and have only really gone off on one on the occasion of being asked "Who's that fat shouty nigger on the telly". Fatman Scoop, for those of you interested.
Also, she doesn't get on well with her daughter. In fact, while I have no real probs wityh MiL, I do rather hate the way she winds Mrs Throbbe up.
Mrs Throbbe, has a fantastic but slightly loopy MiL. Ma Throbbes latest amusing example, from this weekend:
Having had a handheld electrical fly zapping thing demonstrated to her, the salesman asks if she would be interested in purchasing said item. "Oh, no thank you. I have Buddhist tendancies."
