[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, it's not normal to dislike your MIL. Some people do, and those tend to post more, which is understandable. That's all.

Best wishes to your family, OP. My MIL and parents live in Europe, and the day they have serious health issues, we'll be in trouble.[/quote]

New poster, similar situation--my (now late) MIL was in Europe, and though DH has a fantastic sister and BIL there who both adored her, and we visited her every year, he felt so far away when MIL ended up in hospital unexpectedly. He went over there as soon as possible and we were so glad he did; his mom died while he was over there, so he got to see her a lot in the days before she died in the hospital, which was also unexpected.

OP, you sound like a caring daughter-in-law. Many of us love our MILs--as PP notes, it's the unhappy people who tend to post more here. Sounds like you're trying to get your DH to go and see MIL and that's the way to go here. If his workplace is telling him it's not a good time for him to be away, or if he's torn because he believes he's needed at work, please, OP, point out that there really is nothing so vitally indispensible at work that he can't let someone else handle it while he goes to see his mom.

I wish your MIL the best and I hope your DH makes that trip.  [/quote]
