[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your only motivation is that your children "deserve a family." OP, guilt will never, ever, be a good motivation. Ever.[/quote] I don't think guilt is an accurate description of my motivation. My children have a relationship with family that is independent from mine and my husband. My MIL is a difficult woman but she does genuinely love my kids. While I dislike my MIL (and I am sure she dislikes me), my children have expressed an interest in knowing and seeing their grandmother, aunts and cousins. I feel that in being a responsible parent part of my job is to put aside my feelings for the sake of their feelings. My MIL is older (DH and I had kids late in life) so she won't be here forever. I would love for my kids to have positive memories of her and to know she loved them. Not sure why you characterize this as guilt?[/quote]
