[quote=Anonymous]My honest opinion is can you try to find the good in your mother in law? She sounds pretty harmless. And she’s your husband’s mom. The relationship  you have with her is setting a foundation for the relationship with your own grandkids. I totally get that she’s cheesy but it does sound harmless… she misses those times when her kids were young, as a parent now can’t you relate a little? I don’t know I guess I feel like I understand my mother in law much more now that I’m a parent. And she can be annoying but so can we all when we’re part of a family. It just seems like the things you’re mentioning are not worth perseveration over at all. More like, oh my mil lol. I try my best to approach my in laws idiosyncrasies the way I do my own parents, with a giggle and benefit of the doubt as much as I can. Doesn’t mean I don’t go omg is she serious! Sometimes but then I laugh and say classic sandra (lol not the real name) and move on. The relationship my kids have with her is well worth it and most important. Maybe a little humor could help?[/quote]
