A mother-in-law isn’t just your partner’s mother, but also a second mother-figure that can be extremely “saucy” for you when she wants. For example, she might bright you the most amazing gifts, like a funky onesie that you would never choose for yourself, or even Grinch costumes for the entire family to wear while posing next to the Christmas tree.
Bright Side wants to prove that mothers-in-law can be fun and welcoming and maybe a tiny bit shady but always in a classy way.
1. “My mother-in-law made all the men in our family a pair of these sleep pants for Christmas.”
2. “Mother-in-law bought these to embarrass me. It didn’t work.”
3. “My mother-in-law knew how to combine my gaming and music in one gift.”
4. “My 65-year-old mother-in-law discovered the Internet and learned how to make a toilet roll speaker.”
5. “Future mother-in-law brought a pie to our BBQ. Think she’s trying to tell us something?”
6. “The mother-in-law was cleaning her house and found these. Asked me if I needed any.”
7. “My mother-in-law knitted my wife’s snake a Christmas sweater.”
8. “I usually decorate the lamb cake for Easter, but my mother-in-law had to do it herself this year.”
9. “My mother-in-law got a goat. Meet Cedric.”
10. “My mother-in-law thought she would be funny.”
11. “When your mother-in-law sends you a late Christmas present”
12. “Got engaged over the weekend. Future MIL got us an extremely sarcastic-sounding cake.”
13. “My mom made this for my wife for her birthday. It’s the evolution of my daughter’s temper tantrum.”
14. “My mother-in-law set up a sweetheart table for my fiancée and me on what was supposed to be our wedding day.”
15. “My MIL asked if I wanted a ’game’ that she found at her house.”
16. “My mother-in-law made this flower arrangement for Easter.”
17. “About 2 weeks ago, my original wedding rings were stolen. Today, my mother-in-law stopped by and gave me her wedding rings.”
What is the most fun and/or touching thing your mother-in-law has ever done for you?
