[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not writing this to chastise anyone, I know through friends and siblings that in-law relationships vary greatly. 
I just wish I had the opportunity to have one, one way or the other.
I wish this time of year wasn't so sad for DH.
I wish my kids had the experience of two sets of grandparents doting over them.
[b]I wish I had a MIL to tell me stories of DH as a kid, teach me his favorite recipes or even  complain about my cooking, which actually does suck.[/b]
Thanks for letting me share my heart.[/quote]

I'm sorry you're sad about not having a MIL, but I can tell you that a bad MIL is so much worse than no MIL! I have a horrible MIL. She would never tell me stories of DH as a kid, she doesn't cook, never did, and wouldn't complain about my cooking because she's too busy complaining about everything else. We've been together for 20 years, but MIL has still not accepted me (not the same religion). I guess she thinks DH will come to his senses and dump me some day!

You have lovely fantasies, OP, but be satisfied with what you have. A great MIL would be wonderful, but most are not great. You can have mine, but I'm sure you won't want her. [/quote]
