| I have no patience I try so hard to be a good person. I really do. Now I'm not saying I've been perfect, or that I haven't popped off at the mouth a few times to a few people, but for the most part, I have TRIED to be nice. I even sucked it up and did my best to be nice to Mike's EX when I had to deal with her. I do not have the patience for my mother in law. I feel bad, because even though I still think she is crazy, she has really made an effort lately and been NICE. I mean she has called and asked me to go shopping with her, etc. Honestly for the first time in 8 yrs she is trying to have some sort of relationship with me and I am very grateful for that! The problem is that she is very very simple. Its kind of like where I have 101 things going on in my head at any one time, she is having to put forth an effort just to handle one. I feel bad because she is really making an effort, and I am trying really hard to make an effort too. I just feel like she is the ultimate test of my patience sometimes.

| I'm right there with ya on this one!!! Except my MIL is a total snob and i have always had the impression that she thinks i'm not good enough for her son...she has said some pretty nasty things in the past but she does make an effort more now...she's just rude and tactless sometimes...his father is annoying too! but i have been happily married to their son for 13 years now and they are stuck with me!

| If she's making an effort I'd try putting a little extra effort to get along. Sounds like you are total opposites, but you can still get along. I hope all works out for you.

| The thing is, that while we ARE complete opposites, we are also a lot alike. Sometimes I will be talking to Mike and he will stop me and say, "Do you HEAR yourself? You sound EXACTLY like my mom!" I DO want to get along with her, I just wish I had more patience sometimes.

| Did we both marry into the same family?? I stomach my in laws for the sake of hubby and my son. No matter how much they hate me, I'll be here and no matter how much I dislike them, they will always be there. When she is nice to me I'm nice back. I just don't bend over backwards for her anymore. I got hurt way to much. Hubby told me not to be a butt kisser no more. I just go with the flow.

| My MIL is difficult also. I live far away so we don't see her much, but I try to be as nice as possible. Usually I end up in tears because I'm so sensitive and she is so... not. |
