[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep it civil and short. DH drives the plans and I give input. I do not get in the way of kids calling, FaceTime, etc, but I also don’t need to be involved. If I get asked about upcoming plans or visits, a simple, ‘I’ll discuss with DH and he will get back to you’ solves the problem.[/quote] Same as PP. This works. Keep it simple, I don’t get in the way of kids and DH connecting but I don’t tire myself trying to make her/my relationship better because it just isn’t going to change. The ability to accept her for who she is allowed me to change my expectations and just have a simpler response. I stopped wasting energy and instead put energy to making it easy. My attitude about her became more positive in the long run which makes the situation better for me and everyone. It does make me wonder 1. how there can be so many difficult MILs out there? and 2. How do I make sure not to become one myself? [/quote]
