While it may appear that mothers-in-law have certain characteristics, in reality, they are just regular ladies who can vary greatly. While some of them brilliantly irritate their daughter-in-law, others keep it cool, and still others wind up being their dependable pals. There are many amusing and heartwarming stories about mothers-in-law in this page.

1. After roughly a year of dating, my future husband made the decision to introduce me to his parents. Because my then-boyfriend valued his mother’s opinion highly, I was anxious about this meeting.
“I don’t like you,” she said as she saw me when she first saw us on the doorstep. “Well, let’s get to know each other better,” I said, sighing. Perhaps later on you’ll have second thoughts. “Well, you’re a brave girl,” she joked as she gave me a glance. Alright, let’s see. Furthermore, what do you know? It was my ability to answer coolly and composedly that allowed us to have a normal conversation. Furthermore, I now consider her to be my best buddy! My spouse likes to make jokes about how my honesty and persistence won her heart. © Mamdarinka and VK

2. I was quite conscious of wanting to win over my future mother-in-law when I first started dating my future spouse. I thus pretended to be able to knit and gave her crocheted clothing that I had actually purchased. When I neglected to remove the price tag, I was discovered. Rather than raising a fuss, my mother-in-law approached me, grinned, pointed to the price tag, and said, “I was caught red-handed by my mother-in-law too, when she discovered that I was purchasing dumplings instead of making them myself.” © Mamdarinka and VK

3. My mother-in-law asked me what kind of gift I would want to receive before my birthday. I declared my want for perfume. Thus, she presents me with a waffle maker at my birthday celebration. Though I’m horrified, I’m powerless to change it. I gave her my thanks and set it aside. After a few days, I made the decision to make waffles. When I opened the package, I found cash and a message that said, “I’m sorry, but my husband forced me to buy this waffle maker.” The funds are for lipstick and fragrance. Kisses and love. That reflects the kind and coolness of my mother-in-law. © ist0rii / Pikabu

4. A few weeks ago, I had birth. When I first got home with the baby, I had a yearning for fast food. I had a dream in the labor room about it. We strolled to the cafe after putting the infant in the stroller. It was so good that I ate a burger and French fries as if it was my first time. I was not allowed to enjoy it, though, by my mother-in-law. When she called to see how I was doing, she began yelling at my husband over the phone, calling me insane and telling me to drink oatmeal with water. Does anyone else believe that young mothers should diet in the twenty-first century? © Mamdarinka and VK

5. I made the choice to celebrate my husband’s birthday without cooking. His mates are avid gamers on the computer. Thus, my partner and I set up a buffet table with an enormous assortment of appetizers and beverages. It was all going well until my mother-in-law arrived. “Mary, you didn’t even make a favorite steak for my Alex?” the horrified woman exclaimed. How come you’re so sluggish? Your spouse’s birthday is today! © Mamdarinka and VK

6. There was supposed to be a visit from my mother-in-law. It was also a constant struggle. So I made the decision to prepare. I bought food from expert chefs to make things look homemade and thoroughly cleaned the entire house. I dressed elegantly and modestly, just like my mother-in-law used to. Everything has crossed my mind. How could something go wrong? But then, whoosh! The saucer I brought her tea cup on didn’t sit well with her. The cup was not fit by it. I will no longer be appeasing anyone. © VK / Ward 6

7. I believe my mother-in-law is attempting to make me go insane. One time, I was preparing a spectacular meal, and as I arranged the dishes on the table, I discovered that they were all excessively salted. My mother-in-law then informed me that I had “forgotten” to salt the plates after doing so five times. Recently, though, I requested her to pick up the child from daycare because my spouse was away on business and I had to stay late at work. When I got home at ten o’clock at night, my mother-in-law was watching TV and my kid was gone. I cried out in terror, “Where is the child?!” She also claims to have called me to say she was unable to pick him up. But I do recall that she didn’t give me a call! My spouse has no control over her, therefore I’m at a loss on what to do. © Vanilla / VK

8. My mother-in-law received our cat when my husband and I were away for a week. When we got home, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The cat eventually started acting weird, and a few days later, she started giving birth! We went to get an explanation from the mother-in-law. It appears that the neighbor’s tomcat was brought inside by this generous woman. The outcome of this endeavor was “beautiful kittens that you will undoubtedly give away.” There are many good people out there. Furthermore, she hadn’t informed us about it as “she forgot.” She also said, “Oh, I would rather not,” in response to my question about whether she wanted to adopt a kitten. © Vanilla / VK

9. When I was a teenager, my mother died. My mother-in-law took her place. She lovingly referred to me as “my daughter” and always looked out for me. I trusted her more than my girlfriends when we spoke every day on the phone. However, I erred one day. I didn’t realize that a mother would defend her own child at all times. I was severely harmed by my husband during a fight, and I sobbed as I contacted my mother-in-law. When I mentioned something, she became irate with me. I earned it, she said, if he did it. and that I ought to reconsider how I’m acting. For me, it was a revelation. My mother is irreplaceable. © Vanilla / VK

10. From the first day, my mother-in-law infuriated me. She was usually picky about things and would discreetly complain to my husband about me. I believed that we would never get along. However, my mother-in-law completely transformed after we had a kid. She started acting so lovingly. She never speaks a negative word, cheerfully offers to watch her grandson, and always helps. She was extremely cruel because of this. since she was without a grandson! © Mamdarinka and VK

11. I had a birthday party. My hubby gifted me a pricey necklace and matching pair of earrings. His mother saw it and attempted to launch into a tirade about how spoilt I was, but amazingly, the father-in-law interrupted her. And after a few days, I couldn’t stop talking when I accessed Instagram. My mother-in-law thanked my husband for giving her an early birthday present when she shared a picture of herself wearing my set on social media. When I got home, my husband and I watched the video, which showed the mother-in-law entering the house with the key—which I regret giving her—and leaving with the box in hand to make her way back to her car. In the comments, my sister-in-law and other in-laws called her out on the theft. My spouse has been attempting to contact and text MIL to ask her to return the jewels, but she has been refusing, stating that it is her right to keep them because her son wasn’t spending his money wisely and that I was being ungrateful for getting them. © Reddit/Any_Snow5384
