I agree with this wholeheartedly.  Our DD has been dating a nice young man for two years and engagement is on the horizon.  Early in the relationship (and even more recently) the boyfriend's mother was horrible and withheld invitations to the silliest of things, clearly trying to place a wedge into the relationship which did not work.  I was there for those tears that my DD would shed at the hands of her boyfriend's mother, and I will never forget what she has put my DD through, never.  I see this woman who will become part of our family as a troublemaker who is unhappy or unfulfilled in her life and tragically plays the "look at me" game every change she gets and it is truly sad to witness.  Nevertheless it is my DD's choice to be with this young man, and he is very good to her, but I have cautioned her on the "mother in law chronicles ala DC Urban Moms (lol) to no avail.  These are her choices to make, my job is to be there and listen, hold the occasional hand and support my grown DD in her choices.  And yes, I did pipe in early on during one of conversations that she should look at the big picture with his mother when deciding how she wanted her life to play out, and that was it.  I never brought it up again, this is her choice.[/quote]
