[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I guess I bring it up because ex's mum was a city gal, very fun, very active and accomplished, and we related more.  She had a big heart, was inclusive and warm, and was a great conversationalist.  She had some fascinating stories about her day.

MIL is about the same age, but has always acted older, decrepit, helpless, fragile, and as if anything she does accomplish is the parting of the seas.  We try to humor her, but she finds such little joy in life.  Not being a professional, it is hard to be around. It is becoming difficult for the children, too. She is not a pleasant person, as if life really, really wronged her.  It is all about her. We do our best around her, and walk on eggshells, that is all we can do.

I only thought to compare for purposes of this post; but I definitely miss my ex's mum sometimes.

This post is for people who have noticed a huge difference in personalities of those who have mothered their partners.  But if MILs wish to start their own thread, feel free to do so.  I would hate to think that the MIL I mention is trying to hijack my thread.  Thanks.  :)
