I think they should have reversed that and made "step mothers" the "mother in law" and vise versa..\nWho comes up with these terms?

I completely agree, some people that answered don't understand that you KNOW what they mean, just that they should be reversed. I think if someone had a father that remarried, then she should be your Mother-in-law, like the person before me said, "mother-by-law", that counts here too, because she would only be your mother by law. Good question!!

I think referring to them as your 'in-laws' is still acceptable. At least until you marry again.

NOOO!\nWhy ruin her husband's (who hopefully loves her) relationship?  No offense, but she sounds like a very selfish person.  I wouldn't even want to be around someone like that.\nTell her that she is being completely unfair to her husband.

Well, I am an alien to my mother in law! I am from a different country, different culture, and the worst thing: I'm independent!!! She thinks that my husband (her little baby!!!) should control every single thinking I have...   What I do: as I can't change her, I just Play the role!!!!!! Visiting her once a week, and sometimes inviting her to go out.. Thing that she'll never do, but ok, I did my best.  As much as I can, I keep her "apart" from my relationship, as well as avoiding mixing, even when we are together!!!! Consider that my husband was living abroad and he understands my way - it's more than enough!!!!And of course, praying to Allah to keep me on the right way....

Sorry, but welcome to being a stepmom...yep, you'll have to invite her and pray she declines, unless the kids are old enough for their father, not you, to explain that it might not be such a happy thing for their mom to watch him get married again.

last I checked cousin-in-law isn't really family. usually the term in-law is reserved for the mothers and fathers of the bride and groom. so either you're taking this in-law thing too far or you made out with your husband's cousin. which is wrong because you're married.

What does mom say about all this?  Is she behind the step dad stiffing her child?  If what you say is on the up and up your mom should have no problem lifting the 200 to make everything all square.

I am a step mom to my husbands three children and he to my 3 children.  We both felt that when we married the other would have that right.  We each feel that if done in a proper way that the other should have that right.  We went thru the you are not my mom or dad things and that's ok but in the end what ever punishment was handed out was still there.  I do so because I want them to turn out to be responsible adults.  That's how we learn in life is by the punishments and rules in life are handed down by our parents and weather they are biological parents you will find rules suck but they have to be followed.  That's what works for us. I am mainly the one at home most with our last son at home so even though I am his step mom I punish more than his dad.  He does not like it sometimes but does abide by what I say.  Wish you lots of luck sweety!

No -- I don't think it can be fixed.\n\nSplit it up into three or four sentences.  Get rid of the word "conjugal" -- or at least use it differently\n\nI'd probably write something like:\n\nBefore losing her child and husband, Rose of Sharon enjoyed a typical married life.  After her tragedy, she took solice by becoming a mother to all.  This led to her being known as Mother Mary.\n\nI'm assuming some facts here -- you might want to play with it.

I don't know how they were able to keep anyone from punching him in the face.  If i were his new wife i would run as far away as i could!  That poor little girl, how is her mother and grandmother living with the fact that they unknowingly put her in harms way.  I think if i was her mother i probably would have passed out.

LMAO How about "spouce" instead of spouse, or "devorce" instead of divorce... I could go on. I agree with you about the spell check, but it seems that people who really NEED to use it can never figure out how to do so - it goes beyond their mental capabilities or something.

I like this...it's what makes the marriage work. LOL\nThey both have a problem with short term memory loss. So they both forgot what it was they wanted. I got the impression that the wife would have been unhappy with whatever he brought home. Like if he brought home potatoes and sour cream; she would have said, "You forgot the chives." Just because she didn't remember what she had asked for originally. But then again, neither did he. \nGood use of a dangling modifier!!

Ive heard of kids divorcing their parents before which just sounds a bit wierd to me. But im sure ive heard it somewhere!

oh lol  I thought you meant in general....  I must have missed those\nI have a theory that people are growing increasingly LAX about parenting, which basically means people need to get with the program & knock some sense into their damn kids these days.  True story.\n\np.s.    thickchix & suth'rn men go goooooooood  ;-)\np.s.s.  the TP/boobies/ex-wife thing was friggin hilarious

no... its just brother's mother in law.  If it makes you feel better call her mother out law.
