WOW.

I don't think mothers in general diserve to be talked to or treated this way. Mom's do soo much for their children. For saying respect has to be earned, I don't know about others, but my mom "earned' my respect when she carried me, gave birth to me, helped me through all the bad times, always provided for me, etc. I know their are some deadbeat moms out their whol treat their children like crap, so no, I don't think they diserve respect. I'm very lucky to have a family that loves me and is so great to me, but I know not everyone is that lucky, so I try not to judge those situations.

As for MIL's, I have a lot of respect for my bf's mother, and if I didn't get along with his family I wouldn't be able to be with him. Family's really important to me, so if he doesn't get along w/ my mom, or vice versa, I wouldn't be with him. I wouldn't be able to date someone if their mom and I didn't get along, for whatever reasons.
