[quote=Anonymous]When my MIL was alive - I would visit the IL's with the kids usually once a week, maybe a couple of times a year by myself. Since she died, a combination of the kids being older and busier and my FIL being just a grump has me now just not doing it at all. My MIL was interested in my kids and treated me as an important person in the extended family. We were never warm, cuddly, buddy buddy but I appreciated that she promoted family bonds and even though she sometimes overstepped (well tried!) my boundaries as to what she would weigh in on, at least she was transparent and didn't hold grudges re my walls. I miss having that connection[/quote]
