[quote=Anonymous]Married 8 years, together another 4...still sort of feel that way. And MIL even stayed with us for 5 weeks after DD was born! In some sense, though, I don't mind it. Everyone is kind and ILs are great with our kids. I think there's a limit to what I have in common with my ILs besides DH. And I feel like whenever we see them, they are so starved for conversation and interaction with DH that's where their focus is. They ask politely about what's happening in my life, but I do feel a bit like MIL doesn't agree with all my choices as a wife and parent which also makes me wary of deeper conversations with her. I've been becoming a little closer to SIL recently, which is nice. I'm not sure we would ever be friends if not for DH (we are so different I'm not even sure if we would ever meet except for DH), but I'm glad to know her.[/quote]
