Why do you think many MILs are so mean?

Tori • Married with 2 year old mini me :) B/G twins due 4/2020

I know many of you ladies have terrific mother in laws of which I am extremely jealous, but alas this post isn’t for you.

This post is for all the daughters in law who married a man with a toxic mother. Maybe she’s a great woman and only hates your guts and nobody else?

Maybe she’s a nasty old bitch with a chip on her shoulder for the whole world.

Maybe she’s jealous of your relationship with her son and feels threatened because he loves another woman that’s not her?

I’m sure there are many more reasons why MILs misbehave, but those are the ones that seem the most likely.

Why are mothers in laws so mean to their daughters in laws?
