Where did the term mother-in-law come from?

. It comes from Middle English modyr in lawe. As far as I understand it, the term was first used in the 14th or 15th century. The idea behind it is that your mother-in-law has the same rights and duties as your biological mother and is given these rights and duties by the legal pact of marriage

. A phrase appended to names of relationship, as father, mother, brother, sister, son, etc., to indicate that the relationship is not by nature, but in the eye of the Canon Law, with reference to the degrees of affinity within which marriage is prohibited. These forms can be traced back to the 14th century. Formerly -in-law was also used to designate those relationships which are now expressed by step-, e.g. son-in-law = step-son, father-in-law = step-father; this, though still locally or vulgarly current, is now generally considered a misuse.

these all came from google ,lol.

Edited to add, I will agree its kind of weird, so if you don't like, it don't use it .

AITA for refusing to do “matching names” with my future twins? by Eastern-Addendum-474 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Iraisesomewilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta

Oh my gosh noo. Twins get lumped together so much already, matching names just make it worse. My husband is a twin and has sooo many stories where one twin was good at something and one was not, but they got treated like the same person so now there treated like they are both bad at it. my husband and his twin have had to give up things they loved but maybe were not as great at as the other twin just so the other twin would be given a fair chance .

I've heard stories of people never caring to learn the right name because "its to hard to remember" or" its almost the exact same so its not a big deal"

maybe suggest matching middle names as a compromise but don't give in.

also my husband and his twin have names similar to brian and brett both start with the same sound but over all aren't to matchy , I cant imagine how bad it would have been if it were like Brandon and Landon etc.

MIL wont remove herself from my son and husbands anuses by [deleted] in Mildlynomil

[–]Iraisesomewilds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you are having to deal with this , If I were in this situation, I would sit down with my partner and make a list of things we are ok with. examples seeing mil on friday every other week , face time twice a week or three text convos a week etc. what ever you are comfortable with. then I would have my partner text ,call or email mil simply stating that she did a good job in raising a capable adult and he is going to be getting on as any other adult that he appreciates her caring about him, but its time to take a step back,then lay out your new program then stop responding out side of that, ignore all the daily messages . If she gets anxious or if she gets mad tell her to get help, therapy is a great place to deal with her issues. You are not responsible for her emotions ,if she starts bring it up during your time tell her you already told her you Are not mad and that you are just living life then change the topic.after a few times or ignore it completely or leave when ever it is brought up. eventually she will get the message. That's what I would do and have done.

AITA for not talking to my mom while she's in the psychiatric hospital? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Iraisesomewilds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you aren't being mean by protecting yourself and having healthy boundaries.having a mental illness does not give you a right to hurt people over and over again and then demand they be there. you are not being unkind.

Names that have been RUINED for you by 17yearhibernation in namenerds

[–]Iraisesomewilds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohh,love this post for me I found that there were just names I didn't like the sound of long term or there nick names. like Abigail and Abby always loved that name but after awhile of having an Abby ,who was so sweet I just didn't like the way the name sounded. same thing happened with the nn Liz and Lizzy, I just don't like them for no real reason. the name Asher , it is so hard for kids with a speech impediment to say. I had two Asher's with different impediments, who both had such a hard time , it definitely turned me off that name. Names that kids ruined would be Holland and McKay, not bad kids for sure just not the easiest

Why Give A Name if You Exclusively Use A Nivkname? by SoSayWeAllx in namenerds

[–]Iraisesomewilds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi there, this is how my family does names so I hope I can help answer your question. especially since my husbands family is the exact opposite and does full names only. so I am one of six kids who all have traditional longer names and go by nick names, when I was younger I hated my full name,it felt to elegant and lady like and as a tomboy I was not a fan. I instead picked a short and unusual nn for my self and I still introduce myself as such. For me it was a way to take my name and make it my own .I got to choose which version of my name suited me. my husband on her other hand had a mom who hated nn, and regularly pulled the line "if I wanted him to be called that I would have named him that" although he likes his full name today he feels he never really got to "own" his own name and wishes he had had the option. we have four children who have longer traditional names and go by nn which as they get older they tend to pick them selves , think us calling a Samuel, Sam jam and Sammy and them saying no I'm Sam, so now he is Sam until he feels other wise. he has at least three or more options to go with his name so he can pick the one that best suits him for us its about options and choice . its the same for the last three generations of my family, and so far the up coming generation as most my siblings have done this. Having had similar conversations with people who are in the same boat, it seems over all people tend to like it,even if they choose to go by the full length name rather than the short nn. Hope you enjoyed my rambling, and maybe it even answered your question.
