Fil is a handful. Â Mil I love. Â When my fil passes I am bringing her here to live with us.I love my mom but couldn't have her living with me
 I wasted a lot of years not liking my mil.  But at the end of the day if you are planning on staying married, just suck it up and put on a smile.  She can't be all bad, she raised the man you married.  And trust me I had to repeat that phrase a LOT in the early years.  Life is just way easier when you can get along.  Sometimes you have to drink a lot or eat a lot when you are around them, but hey that isn't a bad thing either.  Just do what you can, and smile at her knowing you will probably be the one picking out her nursing home.
@Fallon:
Whoa! There's a big difference between sucking it up, putting on a smile, learning how to get along, etc. and moving the MIL in with you! In my experience, I defintitely practice the former (as does everyone else..she's kind of awful), but the thought of the latter makes me want to stab myself in an eye socket with something red-hot and sharp!
