Mother in law

[Bathsheba]

Morning everyone.I rarely post on here, but I would love to know if anyone else spent most of yesterday biting their tongue trying not to rise to the bait from moany mothers-in -law? Mine has a great talent for eating her way through a carefully cooked meal without saying a single nice thing about it! Foolishly, I was expecting a compliment when she asked what sort of coffee I used, but no, she just felt the need to comment how strong it was!

I know mother-in laws can cause friction. I am a mother-in -law and I hope I dont give that impression I think I get on quite well with my son -in law but there again they might have a different opinion. Hope she didn't spoil your day.

Hi Wendilla. No, it didn't spoil my day- in fact it made me laugh, + my husband was full of praise for the way I handled it without letting fly! I'm a mother in law also and as a result of the experience, a good one I think!

In my case I have to bite my tongue to stop myself commenting on the snidey things my mother says......she has a way of disapproving and muttering under her breath that really would get to me if I was daft enough to let it.

But I'm not.....I just put it down to her being old and crotchety and I vow not to go the same way myself! :0)

If I ever do - I hope someone has me put down.
