Mothers-In-Law Are Fighting Back With Their Very Own Horrible Daughters-In-Law Stories
"In the interest of fairness, what are your crazy daughter-in-law stories?"
You hear a lot of daughters-in-law ranting online about how horribly they are being treated by their mothers-in-law. They recount stories about their MILs being passive-aggressive or downright mean.
A lot of people rally to their side and share similar experiences. For years now, mothers-in-law have been portrayed as bullies or witches, even in movies.
However, a Redditor sparked comments in a subreddit called 'AskReddit.' In this post, the original poster (OP) asked if there were any MILs willing to share crazy stories about their horrible DILs.
Redditors who knew stories related to the post also shared some, and they are borderline unbelievable. It provides a new perspective on how MILs actually try to be the bigger person, but there's no denying that some of these DILs are indeed crazy.
In contrast to most of the answers, several people shared how much they love their daughters-in-law and how welcome they feel in their families. They count themselves lucky to have a great relationship with them rather than being at odds.
There are also daughters-in-law who found this post and confessed that they were the 'crazy DILs.' It opened a discussion on how things can really change if they put in the right effort.

The sad ending, and we'll probably never get an update

They give MILs a bad reputation, but if you're dealing with this kind of DIL, it'll drive you crazy as well

As a MIL, when you do find a great DIL, it'll be hard to imagine meeting a crazy one

A mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can live harmoniously and love each other

This is the right way to progress if we want healthier MIL and DIL relationships
firefightersgirl76
The narrative of how bad relationships between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law has been too common. However, there has been progress in how people communicate on both sides, and things are looking positive.
If this kind of effort and good communication continues, then maybe there will be more family dinners than awkward encounters. If you have some crazy DIL stories like those in this discussion, our comments are open.
