[quote=Anonymous]I probably won't have this issue as I have daughters, but here's why my MIL is great: -My MIL knows her son isn't perfect and knows I love him, so she takes my side when he's acting like a doofus. -I don't think my ILs ever saw me as taking their son away from them, but saw our relationship as their family gaining me -I am sure they get annoyed /frustrated by my foibles, but they get over it because we are family -ILs are helpful / will come to our aid when needed or asked, but don't butt in all the time with unsolicited advice -We have kids now, and not only do they respect our parenting decisions, even though I'm sure we do things differently than they would, they also tell me I am doing a great job with my kids. And back to #1: they genuinely believe I am good for their son and they are glad I married him. It's a lot easier to forgive the frustrating stuff when you feel like a beloved member of the family.[/quote]
