Married Son: Mum, there’s something I want to say. I’d like to have a talk with you.
Mother: You can say what you like to me, dear. What is it you want to talk about?
Married Son: Well it’s about my wife, Heidi.
Mother: What’s the problem? I’m very open. Does she find me difficult? You can say whatever you like.
Married Son: Yes. She doesn’t like the way you seem to criticize everything she does. It seems like she can’t do anything right.
Mother: I most certainly do not. What on earth gave her that idea?
Married Son: Well she…
Mother: It’s all in her mind. She’s a cot case, imagining stuff like that. She’s living in cuckoo land. I’m very surprised you married her. I thought you had more sense.
Married Son: Well she…
Mother: I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING FURTHER ABOUT HER INADEQUACIES. YOU MADE THE BED. YOU LIE IN IT. END OF STORY.

I wonder if Mother-in-law/Daughter-in-law is the same as Mother-in-law/Son-in-law?

Of course it varies with particular people, but in my experience it’s usually about two females cat-fighting over one male. I have one sister-in-law who hates my very existence: I don’t have to do anything to merit it. I have a theory that, in this particular case, it’s because she knows I will always be my brother’s sister, though she may not forever be his wife.

Mothers and sons, eh? My husband’s mother was a sweetie, but she died very soon after we married, which was a shame.

I’ve heard that you’ve made your bed now lie in it before. Awful saying if you ask me. Right there with Finders Keeper, Losers Weepers!

I agree. Both sayings are horrid. I must try and find more of them to use (in stories!)

Ok, Mrs. Bates! Sheesh! I have no relationship with my mother-in-law, so I am immune from these comments, if she ever makes them. However, my mother has made these comments regarding my brother’s ex-wife#1 and ex-wife#2…
