A very Southern mother-in-law's humorous advice to mothers-in-law everywhere. From the multiple New York Times bestselling author of The Red Hat Club. Bestselling author Haywood Smith and her pals have lots of personal experience in the joys, sorrows, pitfalls and flat-out hysteria of Mother-in-Lawness. Now Smith offers a handy and fun booklet of pithy advice to mothers-in-law everywhere. Smiths sassy observations and gentle wisdom are delivered with her trademark southern charm, packing the sweet, heady punch of bourbon ice cubes melting in a mint julep. The Twelve Sacred Traditions of Magnificent Mothers-in-Law is the perfect gift book for showers, engagement parties, family celebrations or just to share with that special DIL (Daughter-in-Law) or SIL (Son-in-Law). It can even safely be given to a Mother-in-Law

commonsense guide for all in laws

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 May 2011

This is really about remembering to behave as respectfully as possible when you are a mother-in-law, & would apply equally to all in- laws. There is nothing really new in here but it may help with exactly how to deal with what can be a difficult situation & even better to prevent one happening. Mostly I would say it states a case of think before you speak & then think again. It is short & easy to read & not too preachy, but nothing new.

Too Short

I love this book, but sadly it is much too short.
Full of great advice which should be followed closely!

A Must Read for ALL In-Laws/Parents

Reviewed in the United States on 22 May 2010

Wow, this book is fantastic and one that every single Mother-In-Law should read over and over again. I wonder if there is a subtle way to get a copy in my own MIL's hands!! My sister is getting married in the fall and I plan to get a copy as a gift for both MILs. I truly wish someone had done the same for me when I got married.

If you feel this book deserves anything less than 5 stars then more than likely you are probably guilty of breaking one or more "traditions" this book touches on. It's all about respect and boundaries for your adult children and the sooner parents/in-laws can see (and accept) that the better your relationship can and will be. If you're not following these sacred traditions then chances are you're probably already overstepping your boundaries and -whether the couple speaks up or not -ultimately hurting your relationship with your married child and their spouse.

For Mothers-in-Law Everywhere

Reviewed in the United States on 21 July 2013

My timing for running across this book was perfect. I have a gorgeous, smart, practical, and successful daughter-in-law (DIL). She has been married to my son for 7 years and has just given me a beautiful granddaughter. We have a great relationship so far, and I want to keep it that way.

I wasn’t always the world’s best mother – my housekeeping and cooking skills run the gamut from barely OK to atrocious. Even my most successful recipe, a super easy chili, was given to me by my DIL. My greatest regret about this book is that I didn’t find it earlier.

Smith wrote this to amuse as well as to inform. She sprinkled it with anecdotes, cartoons, quotes, etc. to make it a fun read as well as an easy one. This is the greatest gift I can think of for any MIL, any MIL-to-be, or even any mothers of a grown child who seem to hear wedding bells. It is a gift you will want to share with other women to lighten up their lives or possibly to save them from themselves.

Very good book--not just for your MIL, but for you too!

Reviewed in the United States on 13 December 2012

Verified Purchase

I bought and read the kindle version before mailing a book to my MIL. Before I sent it she was the stereotypical mother in law. She questioned my ability to parent, cook, clean, and be a good wife for her son. In addition, when she came out she didn't ask us when or how long would be convenient for us; she just booked a ticket. Don't get me wrong, I do really like her. Her actions weren't malicious. She was a new MIL and didn't know better. Since receiving the book, she is much more considerate and we hear from her less. Another reviewer said that reading this book can improve most people and I agree. It pointed out a few behaviors which I need to work on myself.
