    Hey friends

    Thought this thread, when i was continously reading here, so many incidents relating to MIL and problems bcoz of them.

    I know each one of us have one or other problem with MILs. Even i had my shares of ups and downs and problems.

    But common we have to agree there are no person with 100% person negatives and 100% positives.


    Why not share here some of positives of our Mils. Lot of you must be wanting to wrangle my neck :hide:, but just think bcoz of our harbored anger over a long period, we cease to see some positives. (same applies to mils, they harbor anger over her) I am married for 7 years, and i was staying with inlaws, till we came here 6 months back.


    Here is my Mils Positives.

    1. Whenver some guest comes, she eagerly helps in kitchen.
    2. If i make some new dish, she will praise it, even it is not very good sometime.
    3. She encourage new learnings.
    4.She will not talk ill in front of me.

    Friends please share your MILs positive traits here.

    1) She is very religious and I admire that trait in her, coz I am not.
    2) She does not expect a whole lot from me.
    3) She is at ease with my family and my friends too! and gels well with them
    4) Gives us a lot of space. Does not keep asking us to call them, does not want to know what we do every weekend. Does not enquire about our vacations n how much money we earn and spend. I totally respect her for that.
    5) When I was returning to US from India, she packed two seperate containers for me and dh which had equal number of laddoos for both of us. since we both lived in different cities.
    6) Is not stingy. has bought me lot of jewellery and saree for my wedding n even now keeps sending some or the other things for me.
    7) When me, dh and my SIL are there, she addresses all of us as 'Mulanno' [which in marathi, means--Children]
    8) Even after marriage, she did not question me as to why I was meeting certain friends and why I was going to visit my family.
    9) Eventhoug, I dont have parents she never rubs it onto me.
    10) I also have a grand MIL,She is more sweet than my MIL. On the first morning after our wedding, she at the age of 80, made lemongrass tea for me. The best tea that I ever had. I never have seen my own grandma, but she perhaps would have been like my GMIL as well:)

    To a large extent she treats me like how I mom used to. Of course, we disagree on a lot of things, but all the above qualities make me overlook most of those.

    hey friends

    come on pour in your positives of your MILs. i dont think 10000 members MILs were full of negatives only, surely they will be having some good positive qualities, which you admire in them and respect them for it.:)

    I think there was a thread on this topic before... maybe that's why you aren't getting much response.

    Good thread.
    These are just few things I like about my MIL-
    1. Always well dressed(sarees only) and greets with a smile.
    2. Very friendly with one and all.
    3. Never expects me to cook a lot or cook difficult recipes.
    4. Calls me 'kutty', which she uses for my DH and SIL as well.
    5. Always buys new sarees for me on festive occassions.
    6. Gives me importance and respects my decision.
    7. Insisting me to join singing classes(she wants me to participate in some tamil singing show)
    8. She talks to the point, and is not a control freak.
    9. She is an optimist. Even if I complain about my DH or mom to her, she always gives me a positive reply.
    10. I've been married for 9 months, but she has never asked me the 'good news' question.
