[quote=Anonymous]I would start making honest but funny jokes near her that you are very thankful you are not married to XH, how he's been a better dad than partner to you, etc. In other words, she sees your warmth to him as not about your DD (she probably does not have kids, so she can't quite imagine the importance of good manners/warm relationship with an X is about in this context) but as about something more threatening. I agree with you that if you can defuse, it will help all concerned. I would also back OFF on his parents completely. You don't have to be cold, but you can be reserved and keep everything focused on DD. It's not like they were close with you or that you especially liked them and this is a lot less appropriate or easy to explain than being cordial, even warm, with XH.[/quote]
