[quote=Anonymous]My MIL only has sons and she was absolutely terrible.  Not welcoming, competitive, she refused to give me any of her recipes, told me I had to find them online, fine I did.  She was insulting, rude, she could not sit back and let DH and I make decisions about our life, she forced her way in because she knew best. I also get judged on how the house looks and what the food is like, of course I get judged heavily but her son is perfect.  Time has mellowed things which is great, I learned to ignore her pettiness although she still persists.

I don't think it matters to be honest, I think it is what the MIL's personality is to start with and a lot of women appear to like to control things or get so use to being in control in the mother role that they don't let go later.  I also think people in general can be extremely judgemental and when you throw someone you didn't pick into your family it simply ruffles feathers.  I think if someone comes from a normal loving family they are more likely to continue those behaviours and likewise if people come from dysfunctional backgrounds those behaviours will also continue unless people get help.

It's not as simple as only have sons or daughters.[/quote]
