The Mother-In-Law
I’m sure a lot of you ladies are mother-in-laws, so ol’ Rick
is going to give y’all some tips on how to be a good one.
1.
Praise your son-in-law, and then shut up.
2.
When visiting your son-in-law bring expensive
gifts, liquor, food, and tickets to the game so he can get away.
3.
Do not, and this is very important,
monopolize the television by watching “The Bachelorette”. This could put everyone
in an extremely dangerous situation, so don’t do it!
4.
In a very distinct tone, tell your daughter how
lucky she is to have you as a husband, and then shut up.
5.
Don’t tell long, meaningless stories about dirty
old uncle Harry. In fact, unless specifically asked to, don’t tell any stories
at all.
6.
Remember, when visiting your son-in-law, the
only thing you can do to please him is leave.
I hope you ladies find these little tips helpful. I know my
mother-in-law must have, because as soon as I gave them to her, she left! (But
not before finishing the fat quarters, mind you).

Since my father passed away four years ago my husband has stepped in to take care of many household maintenance tasks. He treats her as if she were his own mother. You will never have that relationship with your attitude. You may be meant to be funny but I obviously find no humor in your words. I'm not sure you are even good husband material with yo
My mother-in-law actually was the one to suggest I write this! We enjoy a great relationship, & she has a good sense of humor. I wasn't going to do it, but she insisted! It's all in good fun...
This made me chuckle. As a soon-to-be mother-in-law, I'm taking notes. Actually beneath the humor are some very practical tips. Encourage him. Be a courteous guest. Don't overstay the welcome.
