Editorial Reviews: Product Description 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

Customer Reviews: So true--and even funny September 10, 2009 Marsha (Norman, OK) This book should be required reading for every prospective, new, or even experienced mother-in-law. The advice is really good. It's also presented in a warm and humorous way. Haywood Smith is an incredibly talented writer. Humorous and Insightful. Very Helpful. June 2, 2009 Michelle Kindt (Newtown Square, pa USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful As a parent with adult children and a psychotherapist working with parents of adult children, I highyl recommend this book as a significant tool to repair or maintain your relationships. Humorous, easily read and right on! Hilariously funny but true! May 22, 2009 Bluegrass Mother (KY) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful I was given the opportunity to review the latest book by Haywood Smith entitled "The Twelve Sacred Traditions of Magnificent Mother's-in-Law." As a daugther-in-law who obviously wasn't blessed with a Magnificent Mother-in-Law (rather got a MIL from you know where), I found this book quite humorous, yet full of excellent advice. I feel it is a must read for any mother-in-law or any prospective mother-in-law. Haywood Smith uses her Southern charm to outline practical advice for all mother-in-laws in a hilarious way. Her traditions range from "Magnificent Mother-in-Laws Cut the Apron Strings" to "Magnificent Mother-in-Laws are Flexible about Holiday Plans." Any mother-in-law who adheres to her 12 traditions is sure to have the best possible relationship with their child and their child's spouse. This is a short (75 pages), easy read that will keep you laughing, yet is packed with wisdom. It would make an excellent gift for engagement parties or shower parties and according to the publisher, "It can even safely be given to a Mother-in-Law." The Twelve Sacred Traditions of Magnificent Mothers-in-Law by Haywood Smith April 26, 2009 jjmachshev (Grovetown, GA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful 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!!
