"Some gals I know (who shall remain absolutely nameless in this post) cannot stand their mothers-in-law or their boyfriends&amp;amp;#8217; moms. Others love &amp;amp;#8216;em. I fall into the latter category&amp;amp;#133;Chris&amp;amp;#8217; mom, Betty, and I get along swimmingly. And happily, it&amp;amp;#8217;s been that way from the beginning. I&amp;amp;#8217;m usually terribly nervous the first time I meet people, but Betty maintains that she knew I was a good egg from the moment Chris introduced me. Aw, shucks. Betty and I see eye to eye on a lot of things. Including our reaction to the wedding coordinator&amp;#x27;s suggestion about where our caterer should set up. All but one of my boyfriends&amp;amp;#8217; mothers have really liked me. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know that there is a secret to getting along with the other major woman in your man&amp;amp;#8217;s life, but truthfully, I think it has a lot to do with luck. I&amp;amp;#8217;m fortunate that most my boyfriends&amp;amp;#8217; mothers have been quite mellow and cheerful ladies. Of course, following these helpful tips about making a good first impression couldn&amp;amp;#8217;t hurt. Now about that one who didn&amp;amp;#8217;t exactly fancy me. I had no clue she disliked me until years after her son and I broke up. To put things in perspective, the dude (now happily married with children) and I dated for a few months in high school. It was your typical teenage relationship: we held hands, went out to the movies, lost interest in each other and eventually dated other people. The end. So imagine my surprise when not too long ago, I was at the local grocery store picking up a few things for my Grandparents. I spotted Mrs. F in the soup aisle and waved. And smiled. She looked up and gave me one of the iciest glares I&amp;amp;#8217;ve ever seen in my life. If that wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t bad enough, I ran into her a few more times while shopping and each look was worse than the last. I half expected her to spit on me! What&amp;amp;#8217;s your mother-in-law or boyfriend&amp;amp;#8217;s mom like? Do you get along with her? Simply tolerate her? Or is she a lot to handle? What about your exes&amp;amp;#8217; mothers? Do you usually get along with your boyfriends&amp;amp;#8217; mamas? His mother and you&amp;amp;#133; * Meddling mother-in-law or concerned mama? * Eek! This bride&amp;amp;#8217;s future mother-in-law wants to wear a white dress to the wedding! * Mama&amp;amp;#8217;s boys and mama&amp;amp;#8217;s men.
