[quote=Anonymous]^Some women just don't want to be around MILs no matter what though -- no matter how nice or kind or helpful they are. I'm seeing it right now with a friend of mine who is getting married. MIL is across the country and is just trying to get to know my friend w/o being overly involved -- not telling her what type of dress to get, not inviting herself to wedding planning things etc. Yet if she so much as sends an email or a text, friend -- who is nice to EVERYONE else -- gets an attitude and tells fiance to deal with his own mother etc. There is literally nothing that side of the family can do that will ever be seen as right -- doesn't matter how nice or kind or helpful they are or how much they bend over backwards. PP may be right though -- might be because she has her own very functional family, is close with her own mother/grandmother, has 4 siblings of her own etc. -- so she DOES she it as, why do I need DH's family?? May be different if you have a family that provides something that your DS's family doesn't. But in any event -- a son's a son until he takes a wife. You can call me a terrible future MIL all you want, but this is what I've seen happen over 90% of the time.
