First Year Wars: Choose Your Battles Wisely ~100 Word Stories Challenge~ WK #26

I like it Ruthe!
It is funny but true for so many.
I actualy look forward to my motherinlaw coming, but she only comes to visit once a year.
When my folks were alive it would have been my Father that I was complaining about visiting not my mom.
Nice job Ruthe

the title was so apt, Ruthe...I did not make the deadline but will enjoy reading the ones that made it...thanks for a good drabble! :)

I love the story all in dialogue, except that last line of course. Great job.

Great Job Ruthe, I loved it.

I love the dialog. This is great.

Did I miss something? Steve's the cook, right? Love it!

Great switch on sterotypical roles! and great drabble.

Great dialogue and drabble Ruthe. I was fortunate to have a wonderful mother-in law.

I enjoyed this! Thankfully I have a wonderful mother-in-law. My husband always loved my mother, too while she was with us. Now, my sister...

Thank you! I must admit, I borrowed from real life friends (Names change of course!)

Here's the background:

She can't cook a lick! And was a pampered, spoiled, Mama's girl. (Her mother really is a pill!!) He was raised by a single father, and had to learn to cook for him and his brothers. How they got together....? I must admit, it was me!! =) They seemed just right. Balancing one another out. I spent a lot of time their first year together helping to calm the waters, including handling the Mom. "Donna" is her only daughter.

Happy to say, it has been six years, and they are going strong! Now the mother only comes once in a while. (She has a new husband!!!) Thank God! Funny thing...Her husband's a Mama's boy at 55! And they now go to HER mother-in-laws house for Sunday dinner! LOL! Talk about Karma? She complains about her all the time!!! I couldn't have made up a better story myself!!! Life is often funny!!!

Bethany!!! LOL! I love my mother-in-law. In fact, we are very close. My husband knew he was in trouble, when she called and said: "I don't want to speak with you; put my daughter on the phone!"

Great drabble Ruthe, my I do love the irony in your earlier comment!

Thank You Tinch! I can't wait to read yours! I can only imagine!!

Thank you, Anita.

I love it. In my case, I should have checked out the mother in law before I married the son...lol

Very fun drabble, Ruthe!

Good one Ruthe, funny but also with a lot of truth behind it!

This is excellent, Ruthe, and so realistic. I like the dialog format, too.

Thank you, Lisa! That is too funny!

Thanks, Patricia!

Hi Judi :)! Thank you!

Cassandra, thanks! I know, sometimes true life is funny!

Thank you, Bob!

Thank you, Jan!

This was too real not to be real so I hope the real people involved have a better hold on their shared and separate sanity.

Real life often offers great inspiration.... Good job, Ruthe.

YEP ! Yep, yep, yep, yep, and yep. Very funny and bone burning at the same time. Excellent.

Congrats Ruthe! well deserved!

Back to say congratulations, Ruthe. This story is so true to life and so well written!

Congrats!

Oh wow! Thank you everyone!

Role reversal, but the song of problems with the in-laws remains the same.
Thankfully not in my family.
