About book The Twelve Sacred Traditions Of Magnificent Mothers-In-Law (2009)
This book was brilliant. Full of smart advice for mothers-in-law the world over who want to have good relationships with their children and daughters-/sons-in-law. If every mother-in-law followed these tips, we might achieve world peace. Or at least there wouldn't be any more mother-in-law jokes. Every word makes sense, and the book manages a light, humorous tone, and never falls into preachiness. I plan to keep this one around a long time, like until I become a mother-in-law. Every mother-in-law or future mother-in-law should read this book! Now here's a valuable book that imparts a message, yet does so in a VERY humorous manner without preaching! "The Twelve Sacred Traditions of Magnificent Mothers-in-Law" by Haywood Smith will have snickering, snorting, laughing, and (if you're married) suffering from a severe case of deja vu.This is a perfect book to give as a gift...to just about any woman who has, will have, or has had a MIL (mother-in-law). I'm pretty sure that covers about 99% of women. Haywood Smith provides twelve 'traditions' (read rules) for mothers-in-law (and mothers) everywhere with a full chapter of helpful advice, scenarios, and side-splitting commentary served up with a hefty dose of southern-style sweetness occasionally veering off into sarcasm.A few of my favorite chapters were: Magnificent MILs ...Set and Respect Reasonable Boundaries, ...Bite Their Tongues, Never Wear Out Their Welcome, ...don't Martyr. I think the best thing about this book is that you could give one to your mother or mother-in-law 'as a joke'--and then pray they take Mrs. Smith's advice!!
