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 dread my mother's future as M.I.L.It means she'll be even more intolerable than she is now. Last month she came over the flat I share with my significant other, and instead of praising us for having survived thus far on our own, she immediately started hunting for something we weren't doing right. We'd cleaned up most of the place in anticipation of company, but she zeroed promptly in on the cat-litter box we hadn't emptied as though it were conclusive proof that I can't make it on my own.
Sometimes I wonder if, on some level, the woman is actually convinced that deep down inside I'm still five years old.
