I love my mother in law

Anon

So lately my mother in law/boyfriends family has literally has been helping me with everything whether it comes to my home or our baby shower, or just needing to vent about her son 😂😂😂

And today, I literally could not help it but scream to the world about how amazing she is.

But I really can’t tell many people I know why she is so amazing because I’m afraid if I say my true feelings it’ll hurt some people’s feelings.

But today, she drove all the way out to the hall for my baby shower for literally a 15 minute meeting so I could sign some papers and she could take pictures of the hall to show some family that’s helping us decorate.

(My mother was actually supposed to rent out the hall but she’s been so busy with work that I ended up having to do it and she’s just going to pay me the money for it, which is not big deal)

On my way to the hall, my steering completely messed up. Something to do with my assisted steering? So like, I could technically drive my car, but I had to turn it with the strength of a thousand men and I was not doing that in the area I live in and definitely not doing it for a 40 minute drive. So I had to take my SO vehicle.

And so I was late.

Anyways, they offered to come over and fix it for me.

And she practically begged that I don’t feel the need to clean my house for them to come over and that they don’t judge. (Last time they came over my house wasn’t in the best shape and she helped me vacuum- well she brought her own vacuum because mine broke and then bought us a new one)

Well, I have been working hard to get my house in order because it was not how I would want it. I even cleaned the damn walls. And I didn’t want her to think I was cleaning just for her, so I cleaned up normal stuff and little things, and left a few dishes in the sink, because I hate dishes anyways 😂

When she got here, she kept saying how good my house smelled.

Which made me really happy.

Because the last time my mother was over she kept saying how horrible my house smelled and how I won’t get a job because my house apparently smells like dog. (My mom also lives in a home where dogs must be outside)

And I gave her like a gift basket that I’ve been working on for the past couple of days as a thank you and I felt like today would be a good day to give it to her.

I really didn’t think it was anything special, it had like slim Jim’s, candy, small decorations, a wind chime, face masks, lip balm, etc.

I actually felt bad because most of the stuff aimed towards things for his mom, rather than his dad and his brother who have been helping out a lot as well.

But that’s also why I put so much candy into it 😂

But when my I asked my SO what his family likes he said “anything”

And I told him there must be something they like more than other things, and he just said “no not really”

And I’m used to my mom, who has everything she could ever want and doesn’t really get too excited over gifts. My mom said she wanted a new washer and dryer and I said maybe I could buy you one for your birthday and she said “or maybe I’ll buy it for myself whenever I want it” 😂

And let me tell you, my SO mom CRIED when she got this little basket and kept telling me how much she loved me and it’s really been getting to me all day.

Like I am so grateful to this woman and I can not help but love her to a million pieces.
