[quote=Anonymous]In my Vietnamese MIL's culture, there is a cultural expectation that 1) the eldest son's parents will live with him and his family, and 2) the MIL will rule the roost. My MIL once told me that her own MIL was so overbearing that she wanted to be the opposite. She is probably the sweetest person I've ever met, and she goes out of her way to be respectful of my role as wife/mother and, when she's visiting, of the way I run my household. So sometimes there are cultural expectations or traditions that may influence a situation, but individual personalities are probably more important. As several PPs have noted, overbearing MILs exist in every culture.[/quote]
