[quote=Anonymous]I had an injury this week and at the very last-minute notice my MIL flew in from the Midwest to take care of me this weekend. She was so helpful around my house, and she stayed our guest room and didn't snoop around our house when we left to visit a friend, didn't complain about the food we ate/restaurants we went to, and made sure that I rested so I could recover. And not once did she complain about doing my housework (which she insisted she do for me, like sweeping, mopping, laundry, and she cleaned my fridge!) I told her she didn't have to do it all, but she insisted.

I am just really grateful for her! Of course she has her little quirks that I find annoying, but I'm sure I annoyed her at some point too this weekend, as no two people are perfectly compatible.

I am sorry that not everybody has such a great MIL. In fact, my husband's MIL (aka my own mother) is nosy and would totally snoop if I left her alone in my house, complain about food or restaurants, and then guilt trip me about how wonderful she is after she vacuumed or something. I do know how it is to have a bad family relationship with a parent, and in reading a lot of the DCUM posts I can identify with a lot of you when it comes to that. I'll probably still get attacked for something I said here, but oh well. My MIL is great.[/quote]
