The truth is that mother-in-laws get a bad rap. A mother spends her best years raising an amazing young man who will one day leave the nest to devote his entire universe to a woman she’s only just met. If we moms of boys step outside our role as daughter-in-law for a moment to consider the dynamic for what it really is, it pretty blows.
As someone who will one day too soon find herself thrust into mother-in-lawdom, I felt it only necessary to record the qualities I somehow hope to possess.
