The first time I met mine, she looked at me like a curious animal.

I don't think she realised, but should I have been in an animal fair, there would have been no difference.
She idealizes her son, who succeeded better than his brothers and pairs.
What a catastrophe!!!

The little mom's darling does what he wants and does scene after scene.

He would really love to tell her the truth about how much she always annoyed him, but he has such a loving mother that he forever glued himself to the idea of never hurting her feelings.
She has all the power over his ideas as well as over his shirts, shirts that I am
not capable to iron well according to him, this is why he irons them himself!

Did you ever have your clothes washed separately by your in law? A machine for him, a machine for you? I have !

A machine of my white separated from his white.

And oh surprise, my white came out all blue because she (inopportunely well on) slipped a very new blue tablecloth in there !

But the mother in law is such an accomplished woman. She made a success of her family, her couple, she manages her house perfectly well and holds on leash her dog as well as her husband!!

The poor 'outsider' will only be accepted into this inferno when she will possibly have given birth to two children, boys preferably, simply because her mother in law misses her little boys so much.
This way, she can cuddle babies again and return the small ones to the new mother just like her own sons, whereas you or I already had so much difficulty maturing one of her small darlings.

But don't over worry, the mother in law is not tender with a son in law either, because she analyses him in all aspects possible, from his bank account to his IQ, with a little detour to his height and questions on his sperm's good health!

Fantastic mother in law who will cry of admiration in front of his masculine car only to ask him fast to change it once he has become the father of her descendance !

The sentence that kills almost all her good charms is when, while he's having a Sunday diner, she asks in front of everyone ' These socks, they are white, aren't they ?'
How nice of his mother in law to make everyone notice that his trousers were a bit short and that his lack of taste is too enormous to be French !

His mother in law, so happy to have a perfect son in law, but who is perfectly dumb too. She suddenly feels this urge to breastfeed him. Yes, she understood that he couldn't help himself and that her poor daughter had one more child to care for at home.

Of course, when this woman finds a pair of unknown shoes in the house, she gets into a black rage, borrows a Kalashnikov from the neighbour and step by step, moves towards her son's bedroom, surprising the lovers faulting, grasping on the poor girl's pair of panties like a prize and throwing this one out with kicks in the butt, before excusing herself a month later, after she'd found out she was the major's daughter, which wasn't this bad after all ?

Okay, I will stop here on 'difficult' experiences.

There are also fantastic mothers in law, superwomen of tenderness and of pizzas to bring back home.

The one we get on so well with that we go shopping together, but without her son, who, in the meantime, is profoundly bored and watching TV alone.
The same super mother in law we can tell all our sweetie's secrets when she'd promised to keep them private.

The same woman who can laugh out loud in front of a cappuccino, about friends of her desperately needing facial works!!!

A mother in law? A problem? Or just the way to fit into someone else's family?

It's ever so nice to be able to cook, prepare, clean with the woman we call 'xxxx' instead of 'mother' since she asked.
Not many people speak to xxxx now the kids are grown ups, so she likes the attention.

It's ever so calm; people are sitting up so straight.

What a pleasure to fit in so well into a living room full of wax dolls freezed by their egos.
