"I would like to add this is bad news because your mother-in-law is a preview of your wife when she gets older."
EOD stated this in another thread and I have heard many variations of this statement over time. I disagree but am anxious to hear other opinions.
When people say this, are they meaning primarily in the way she looks? Personality? Intelligence? Boob size?
My lovely wife is sooooo different than her mother. Like night and day. Fortunately, she did not get her looks from her mother either. My sister is the same way. She is so different than our mother in every way, including looks.
If we're talking about more than just looks, as in personality and outlook on life, I think a more accurate statement would be that your wife will end up more like your mother than hers. My wife's personality is so much closer to my mother than hers, it is almost scary. There have been times during conversation where I could not help but think that I was talking to my Mom. <shudder> Then again, I don't like anyone telling me that I have to grow up and I can't just go play whenever I want. :biggrin:
