Reality TV Mother-in-Laws You Don't Want to Mess With

Good ole' fashioned mama drama!

By Claire Downs

The old saying is true: when you marry someone, you marry their entire family! And that includes your boo's OG lady in his life, his mama! She's the one who raised him and changed his diapers after all, so you better pay your respects!

Still, that doesn't make dealing with your MIL any easier. The little comments, the snide remarks, and the untimely "drop-ins" make for great TV. So, in honor of National Mother-In-Law Day on October 23rd, here are some reality TV mamas who perfectly encapsulate that family drama. And don't forget to buy your in-laws something nice - it'll win you brownie points.
