The Mother-in-Law

Ranked #6,116 in Culture & Society, #129,481 overall

I sometimes wonder if someone was spying on me when they began writing "Everybody Loves Raymond." It's funny how faces and names may be different, but the stories sure do sound the same.  I keep telling myself that I'm getting trained on either how to or how not to be a mother in law to my future daughters in law.  Hopefully I'm learning the "right" lesson. 

During my quest for revenge...I mean peace, I went scouring the Internet for all things mother-in-law.  I hope you enjoy the collection of jokes, cartoons, advice articles, and yes, even a few nice things about mothers in law. 

A Great Gift!

Whether you have one or you are one, this Mother In-Law's Manual is a must read!

A Mother in Law Joke

Big Game
A big-game hunter went on safari with his wife and mother-in- law. One evening, while still deep in the jungle, the Mrs. awoke to find her mother gone. Rushing to her husband, she insisted on them both trying to find her mother.

The hunter picked up his rifle, took a swig of whiskey, and started to look for her. In a clearing not far from the camp, they came upon a chilling sight: the mother-in-law was backed up against a thick, impenetrable bush, and a large male lion stood facing her. The wife cried, "What are we going to do?"

"Nothing," said the hunter husband. "The lion got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it."

Adam and Eve were the happiest and the luckiest couple in the world, because neither of them had a mother-in-law.

You're Welcome

I gave my mother-in-law a VERY nice purse for Christmas. She complained about it so much that I took the purse for myself and gave her the money to buy something else. She had the nerve to count the money right in front of me!

    The really mean mothers-in-law have a lot to teach in the way of how NOT to alienate one's own daughter-in-law. ...Jane Fonda cracked me up with that Alfalfa sprig. :D

    Nice lens! You've got a nice collection of books and movies here. When you get the chance, I'd love it if you'd visit my lens and say hello.

    Great job! I thought someone wrote the scripts for That's So Raymond for me! It is comforting knowing that I am not the only one out there with a Monster in Law!

    Don't forget to add Monster-In-Law - the movie with J.Lo and Jane Fonda. ;) Meet the Parents would be fun too.
