[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a clue what MIL did . . . Prob feed the kids wierd midwestern food that isn't food (plastic "American" cheese, etc). I'll pass. [/quote]

PP here.  We have the same MIL.  Plus my MIL is lazy to boot (she has always been this way), which makes me crazy, so I avoid her.

I think OP might be asking because our first (childhood) interactions with our parents tend to psychologically shape how our spouse handles situations.  In other words, my MIL isn't very competent, so DH has that expectation of women.  Until he met me.  He knew I was the one, because I wasn't bumbling.  I just try to have as much patience as possible with her.  When I know I have run out of patience, I have Dh handle the situation.  Besides, I have my own kids to take care of. [/quote]

How romantic - I'd love to hear those wedding vows.[/quote]

DH's mom is not very bright, and not very competent - so he knew what he did NOT want.  Sometimes it is more impotent to know what to stay away from, than to make a huge list of "must haves".  Most people don't know this, and never find their happiness.  See your response above.  [/quote]

Huh? It was obviously a joke - I thought you would post a laughing face!  You said he married you because you were "not bumbling" - Come on, that's funny!![/quote]
