I have an anti bad MIL story to share. I’ll make it quick as it may not be exactly what you’re looking for :) And technically she’s not my MIL because I’m not married with my partner, but I treat her as such and it works out nicely.
She’s a great person who has flaws just like anyone else. I am always impressed by her ability to create new things and find passion in life. A few years ago she began learning how to decorate cakes and now she’s making amazing custom cakes for people.
She does not pressure me into anything, in fact I would say we talk less than we should, although we communicate through Facebook often. She is not an overbearing, meddling mother with my partner her stepson. Perhaps the step child plays a part in this. I know my partner’s dad (a very quiet, singleperson hobby kind of guy) enjoys not meddling, so that plays a part too. Either way, I can say that these parent in laws are great to have around and I’m glad they are a small part of our lives.
My mother is technically my partner’s MIL… I’m sure he would say great things. She doesn’t meddle either, but she is more involved in our lives because me and my mum’s relationship is very great and very close. She has helped support his dreams of going to school, and he helps with building things she needs.
All in all I am very glad I have a drama-free family. I hate drama in my life. It’s so tiring.
