[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still no advice from been there, done that MILs? OP here, was hoping for some good tips for when my son marries. [b]Seems like it's best for MILs to keep their opinions to themselves[/b]. [/quote] This is actually generally true. Don't offer advice unless it's asked for. Don't comment on every little thing that your DIL does differently than you would. Don't view her as competition. Don't expect her to see you as a mother-figure and defer to your authority. Don't expect to be instant best friends. I see a lot of MIL-DIL drama that is based in one or the other person (or both!) being controlling and competitive, or expecting some kind of instant closeness and then taking it personally and being really hurt when that doesn't happen. This kind of relationship needs a little space to grow. [/quote]
