[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very good, they are genuinely nice, caring people.

My MIL is particularly great, she’s someone who I feel truly cares about my well being as a person and not just as the mother or vessel of her grandchildren.

They live local and often offer to help out, take the kids for a weekend so we can get away on our own, do pickups when we can’t, etc. etc.

I got exceptionally lucky![/quote]

PP who has gone gray rock. Intriguing! Please, tell us more. How long have you been married? Do you have much in common with your MIL? Does your mom live locally? Does MIL have a daughter? Did MIL have a MIL/still has? Does MIL have any other DILs? Other GC? Does MIL have a career? Circle of friends?

I have my own theories about my MIL...

DP who also has a very very good relationship with in laws (although married just 7 years). It sounds like you just have an awful MIL, you're decades into that relationship and her relationship with her grandkids is now degrading. I doubt you can glean much from PP as there are bad eggs from every walk of life.

I don't have that much in common with my MIL other than a love of cooking. Neither my mom or my MIL live locally but I'd rather live close to MIL than my mom. MIL does not have a daughter and does still have a MIL. She has two other DIL, no terrible relationships but I think is closest with me. She doesn't have a career, was a lifetime SAHM but has many varied interests and a good friend group and is involved in her community. [/quote]
