[quote=Anonymous]Tricky situation. I remember Dr. Laura would always advise women to not marry into a family if the MIL/DIL relationship was bad. But who really ever listened to her anyway? I would really think about it, and make sure you set boundaries early on. I would do some pre-marital counseling and focus on how DH will handle MIL issues. Once you are married he should ALWAYS take your side and have your back. It takes a while, but the ILs start to learn that you are a united front and they won't get away with their usual crap. I trained my ILs, and they are very respectful and cautious around me now. It took a year of not returning their phone calls immediately, not jumping up at a moments notice to do them a favor, and not putting up with gossip or negative talk. Pretty soon they were acting like they were worried about upsetting ME. [/quote]
