The difference between my mom and my mother-in-law

As usual my m-i-l irritated the heck out of me again, so I've decided to compile the diff between her and my mom. Feel free to browse.

My mom..
will travel 350 km to see Sam when she misses him (and she does this on a monthly basis, mind you!).
My m-i-l..
will nag that she hasn't seen Sam in weeks and doesn't bother to take the 20 minute trip down to my place to see him, in fact she will sarcastically tell me that it's my responsibility to bring him over to her place.

My mom..
will never fail to help me carry the bags we got when we go shopping, sometimes we even battle over who gets to carry what!
My m-i-l..
will never offer to carry anything, in fact she even get us to carry her stuff as well!

My mom..
will never let me walk in the rain without an umbrella if she has one in her bag.
My m-i-l..
will never offer her umbrella to me for fear that she might need it (even when she was standing under shelter!)

My mom..
will always support Kelvin in his suggestions or ideas.
My m-i-l..
will shoot down all his suggestions or ideas.

My mom..
is full of compliments for everyone.
My m-i-l..
is full of critique for everyone except her few favorites, woe to you if you are not on her fav list!

My mom..
is warm, jovial, supportive, loving and more!
My m-i-l..
... I have yet to see any of the above in her.. how sad.

This is it for now, will update more when I have time.
