My first MIL never seemed to be able to cut the apron strings. I remember clearly that she called the house at 7am to remind my husband of his dentist appointment. 1) he wasn't home, I was still in bed asleep and not due to get up for another 1/2 hour 2) why did she even KNOW when his appointment was? 3) we'd been married for *TEN YEARS*. Why did she haveta do this???

After the divorce, I was happier to not be 'related' to them anymore.

Now, my new MIL is the best. Even before I was married, I knew my hubby and his family - and didn't even know my future MIL's real name until we were married - it was always "Mama S," even 15 years ago! I'll call her to just to chat, and she is truly a blessing. She considers me the daughter she never had.

I told my current hubby that not only did I get him, but getting his parents was a bonus! I feel for all of y'all that have crappy IL's.
