Television usually portrays mother-in-laws (usually the mother of the husband) to be overbearing women who indulges their sons and confuses meddling with helping.
It used to be sooo funny.
Until, I had my very own live one living only a stone’s throw away from where my husband and I live.
My mother-in-law is everything the way they portrayed on Filipino TV, except that she’s white.
Yes, MIL problems does transcend race.
If you are cursed with a mother-in-law who fit the stereotypical autocratic old lady of the house who cannot let go of her little boy then, it doesn’t matter where in the world your mother in law came from… they are all made from the same mold. The only differences you will see are their skin and eye colors.
Disclaimer: Of course, there are a few people who are blessed. Their mother-in-laws are really nice or they are just too far away to meddle with their sons marriage.

I’m one of those wives who luck out in the MIL department.

This made ma laugh so hard! I feel for you sis!
OMG, I am in the same predicament as you. I always thought that kind of MIL stereotyping only existed in the Soaps… I live with my elderly MIL (what could be worse than that???) and she notices everything… from my hair, to my cooking, to my taking her of my stepdaughter… She likes gossip and curses a lot! I’m glad I am not alone…
