This is a good question. This is the way I see it:
If you are talking about something possessive, say "my mother-in-law's dress"
If you are talking about more than one mother-in-law, say "All mothers-in-law" have a hard time with their daughters-in-law". After all, it's the mothers and daughters that are plural, not "laws".

mother-in-law's
This car is my mother-in-law's
Plural: mothers-in-law
Plural possessive: mothers-in-law's
"The mothers-in-law's convention will be in Miami"

Say my mother-in-law's thing. Contrast this with the plural form, which would be "mothers-in-law".
