[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, my dh didn't get along all that well with my mom - for good reasons.  I got along better with his mom than he did.  You know what they say about your parents - they know how to push your buttons because they installed them.  Well my MIL didn't install my buttons so she couldn't push them.  Dh, on the other hand, was always annoyed by her.  It was stressful to be around them.

She was an anxious person who dealt with it by having a very orderly life and not trying anything new.  I knew she probably didn't approve of some of the things we did but she never said a word to me about it and for that I was grateful.  True, she hid her anxiety and didn't get help for it but unlike my mom (who had similar problems and who [i]did[/i] install my buttons) I felt like she wasn't radiating it and interfering while all the time pretending that she wasn't anxious.

I was very grateful for her leaving us alone to raise our daughter as we saw fit.  And I think she was grateful that her son married me and not the crazy drunk he had been with before. God, you guys are making me miss her today!  [/quote]
