BF’s Moms are potential MIL’s. You might need the “ain’t that nice” line. It prevents you from biting your tongue off a dozen times a day when you are in her presence.
Don’t know what that is: Well, short form. Two sisters marry different men. One is rich and the other poor. Poor sister goes to visit rich sister and they’re sitting on the porch. Rich sister says that her husband bought her a mansion for a wedding present. Poor sister says, “Ain’t that nice.”
Rich sister says that her husband bought her a Caddy when she had their first child. Poor sister says, “Ain’t that nice.”
Rich sister says that her husband bought her a five carat diamond ring when she had their second child. Poor sister says, “Ain’t that nice.”
Rich sister finally asks. “What has your husband done for you?”
Poor sister says he sent her to finishing school.
Rich sister says, “Finishing school. Why would he send you to finishing school?”
Poor sister says, “To teach me to say, ‘ain’t that nice’ instead of ‘screw you.’”

GOOD LUCK!!!

What should one do when the bf’s Mom keeps ‘running down’ her nationality? e.g. oh those ——-are that type of people. She isn’t of that nationality and how does she know. Thanks.

I promised her I would NOT ask her dating advice…heaven knows she hears enough of my bellyachin’ without trying to answer any question I could ask her…and she know that dating advice would mean I had left her favorite cowboy son-in-law! *laugh*

Thanks for the giggles!
