[quote=Anonymous]I assumed that I would have a good relationship with her because I got along well with older women at work, family is important to me, and blending families should be a nice way of expanding ones horizons to new traditions and activities. I thought those who didn't get along must be self centered and selfish. I was looking forward to doing it right! And then I got a MIL. One who was judgemental and invasive, insulting, pushy, and not trustworthy. And it sucks. I act like an acquaintance now instead of friend or family - polite but distant. I appreciate DHs relationship with his family and I don't do anything to stop it. We are as "fair" as possible balancing our two families and I am cautious to not do anything that can be perceived as a slight. So, go into it with a good attitude and hope for the best. Relationships go both ways. But never ever stoop to their level - find a way to let it go. [/quote]
