[quote=Anonymous]Before I had a kid, I got along fine with my MIL, but had to try hard to tolerate her at times. We went through a big long phase where I could hardly stand how she could be so passive aggressive and critical. But thankfully, I always just grinned and bared it. Because as soon as our baby was born, my opinion changed. She changed a LOT. She was so kind and supportive to me. She frequently told me I was a good mom. She expressed understanding with caring for a newborn. She told me things like "your son lights up when he sees you." She was as helpful as she could be without being pushy. She ran interference when FIL was pushy or when FIL grumbled about our parenting practices. Unfortunately she passed away when DS was just 18mos old. [/quote]
