It&#8217;s on the 4th Sunday of each October.  I just found this out 2 weeks too late to make anything of it this year.<\/p>\n<p>My mom and my brother-in-law have never really gotten along great, although thier relationship is starting to get a little better.  I was talking with Amy, my parents and their neighbors last weekend and told them that as far as mother-in-laws go I&#8217;ve got one of the best anyone could hope for.  She&#8217;s way into sports, Carolina to be specific, supports a large technology company for a living and always seems to try to have fun at everything she does.  I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve offended her somehow at some point but I can&#8217;t really say that she&#8217;s ever done anything that I can remember having a major issue with. Hell, in some circumstances she&#8217;s been more understanding and supportive than my own parents but that could just be a matter of perspective based on their roles.<\/p>\n<p>It could be that I&#8217;m making more out of this than actually exists.  I suppose a handful of us have mother-in-laws we appreciate while there are probably a lot of people who still need to arm themselves with &#8220;Frequent-Fry-Her&#8221; jokes.  It&#8217;s kind of a relief not to have to participate because I have enough going on without having to deal with an inherited, annoying family member.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barack Obama may be bringing his to the White House.
