The way you wrote about letting you take "monumental decisions" seems somewhat dictatorial, but is obviously a different culture to that I am used to.
And there you have it. The words "dictatorial" and "differnt culture" in once sentance, shows what you think of his culture, or was it a Freudian slip?
His post did not sound in any way "dictatorial" but did sound like he's a guy who cares for his family and his extended family, as if they were his own. His mother in law, rightly or wrongly, did not have a handle on financial matters, so allowing her son in law, who clearly does have a grasp on such things, to provide security for their future, clearly shows how much he is loved and cherished by his mother-in-law.
I don't think love and respect are qualities which are unique to any one "culture" correct me if I am wrong.[/quote]
Nice try 968.
I didn't realise you were JazzyBee's spokesman.

Mine died a few years ago, anniversary today strangely, pain in the @rse on a lot of things, if I was stressed would always start to stroke me (what was I a bloody cat?), heart of gold,loved by lots, only person who I ever knew that could do a Les Dawson on me, would ask me to play a song on the keyboards and then would be so bad that I ended up following her lead and it would sound like group of cats!. The best time was at her funeral when it turned out she had a friend in the vicar as he was so out of tune that he reminded us so much of mum, the wife and myself could not stop laughing.

You should love your mother-in-law because believe me, your wife will look like that one day.
My first wife looked nothing like her mother who was a bit of a dragon really although for some strange reason she turned from disliking me into thinking I was the next invention after sliced bread - at least until the divorce when she became the personification of evil and the devil incarnate.
Back to the point though, years after the divorce, my ex-wife is morphing slowly and becoming her mother. Quite frightening really. Same applies to many women and at my age, I can reflect back at what girls used to look like and how they suddenly turn into their mothers. It's a reliable guide.
So my current wife has a lovely mum and we get on great. LOL.

right........where do i start??
my mother-in-law is a 100% prize ****,over the years she tried to kill my brother-in-law by hitting him in the head with a thick glass ashtray whilst he was asleep for absolutely no reason (he decked her before she could hit him again),she made my father-in-law sell his car because she needed money for dental work.....then spent the money on clothes and fags rather than getting the work done,she then left my father in law and moved to her friends house (a recovering cancer patient) who she 'borrowed' over a grand from before doing a bunk and moving to great yarmouth....her friend died 2 months after she left and she didnt even send a card to her friends husband.
since then my wifes parents have divorced,she got awarded £15,000 from my father-in-law (half the money he had put aside for his retirement)....she had tried for more but he 'removed' 50k from the account a year earlier and made it dissapear.....and she even had the nerve to turn up at my f-i-l's fathers funeral (even though she was told not to go anywhere near it) and she even managed to spit poison then too,ruining a lovely service/wake.
my son believes that she is dead....and we live in hope.
the bitch can rott in hell!....and i know a fair number of people in my area who wish her the same.

My in-laws are just great. Get on fine with them ... pair of sincere petrolheads .... and they are very supportive. Over here at the moment .. helping out with the new baby ...
Wildy is still her Papa's little girl and in looks ... apparently she takes after his mother...whilst her sister is the image of her mother.

I can't stand the Outlaws. He is a selfish prick, she is just the most useless sack of shit you've ever met, with the communication skills of Dave Blunket having a go at semaphore. He ran off with an Opra Winfry look-a-like (before she lost 20 stone), and tbh, I don't blame him. However, I would like to through him in a canal sometime soon.
So how does your wife feel about her parents? Tolerable?
We have a couple of in-laws who have, let's just say, gone to the dark side. We generally avoid them.
To some extent, when you look at a person's family, that's where they learn how to relate, and it can tell you a lot. On the other hand, some people work hard to overcome their childhood (if it was bad), and others fall into the same traps if they don't see the problems.
It's funny what people say about the daughters/sons turning out like their parent of the same gender. My sister and I are both very different, so we both can't turn out like Mom, can we? I've been told by friends that all four of us are interesting variations of our parental traits.
