Do You Like The Mother in Law?
Discussion
Mine is very nice. When my father in law died about 10 years ago, she treats me like the head of the family, always asking my advice and guidence on all sorts of matters, letting me take monumental decisons on her families behalf (helping find partners - managing long-term investments - her pension etc.). She has been more helpful and supportive than my own parents on many occasions, and genuinely feel like her own son.

So basically she is subservient?

If you want to see how your wife will turn out. Just take a look at her mother.
Within reason that's bang on. Luckily I'm pretty damn happy on that front.
Unfortunately its true of us blokes too - we turn out not far off our Dads. My Dad is a sterling bloke - but I'll need to work to make sure I don't get his gut when I'm in my sixties/seventies.

My mother-in-law died suddenly about six months ago. When she died I sobbed like a baby, because I was as close to her as my own parents. Equally, my wife is extremely close to my mother. The words 'in-law' were dropped many years ago in both cases.
My sincerest condolences. I'll be the same when the time finally comes.
