Do you ever miss your MIL?

| Nope. But that's bc I see her regularly. I am hoping as my baby gets older I'll value her more as a grandmother. Currently she drives me insane, but hopefully my daughter loving her will help me feel warmer towards her...we'll see. |

No.
I don't dislike her but definitely don't miss her. |

She did. She was a kind, accepting, person who made me feel welcome in her home and accepted people just as they were -- pretty much the opposite of my family. She kept her family together and now they've blown to the four winds. Sigh. |

| She's really the only reason I haven't divorced my husband. He's such a jerk, but my MIL is so awesome, she's one of my best friends. I wish she lived closer to us. |

Me again, my MIL is out of the country with no cell phone service and I miss her like crazy, I can't wait until she gets back and I can talk to her. |

Aw, it's sad to hear that they weren't able to maintain their connections. Maybe in the future. I'm sure she inspires you. |

I'm sorry he's a jerk, but glad that you have her to support you! And get her an international cell phone for her next trip

I wish I did. I wish I had a warm relationship with my MIL. I don't miss her and I rarely think about her.
I actually do miss the mother of an old long-term boyfriend. Much more than I miss the boyfriend. I miss my own grandmothers every single day. |

My MIL was like this, and when she died, I had a bit of an internal crisis: why am I sticking around with this guy when the thing I liked best about him was his mom, and now she's DEAD? |

That's a tough one. |

Mine is dead too, and despite the fact that I didn't always see eye to eye with her I do miss her on occasion. She was definitely the glue in the family, which has become less close. And she could talk to just about anyone-a useful skill at awkward family dinners. |

I don't miss her, but I'm always glad to see her (not that often) and vice versa.
My FIL has been dead almost four years now and I miss him whenever the family gets together. |

| Yes I'm just sad we live so far away so the kids don't get to see her or my parents for that matter very often. |
