The idea of a “horrible” or “nightmare” mother-in-law is such a common trope that most would find it pretty lazy if it showed up in a novel or film. Indeed, it’s such a narrative crutch that it’s been overused to death, but, unfortunately, it’s also created the often hurtful stereotype that one’s partner’s parents are out to get you.
There is no denying that some folks do have horrible parents, but the real issue in these sorts of cases is that they are only horrible to their kid’s partner. After all, most folks are treated relatively well by their mom and dad, but this doesn’t mean their partners are treated the same way. However, there are so many families interested in actually being nice and spending quality time with their kid’s partners.

After all, it’s not hard to realize that, at the end of the day, every family is weird in its own way, for better or worse. So when you meet them, you are being invited into a very established world, with its own jokes, references and often a very deep history. The best families do what they can to make folks feel included.
