[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not a MIL yet (DC are early 20s), but I will live by a dear older friend’s mantra, “I will love who they love.” So far, this has served me well. I am carefully cultivating my own interests, hobbies, interests and relationships - nearly all independent of DH and certainly of DC. My identity has never been “being a mom” and it’s not going to become “being a grandma.” I have raised my DC, but I don’t plan to “raise” grandchildren. No unannounced visits. I will respect DC and partners relationship, priorities and privacy. I don’t expect to be feted, celebrated and the center of attention. I’ll be more than happy to host a holiday dinner, or not. Stay with us, or not. I pledge to not offer my unsolicited opinions or observations. [/quote] Love this - you get it! [/quote]
