[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a MIL x 2!  I adore both of my daughters-in-law.  I think they are beautiful (both inside and out), smart, caring, and very good to my sons.  I think of them as daughters.

The mother who cannot step aside and accept the fact that she is no longer the most important person in her son's life will never be good MIL.

The wife who cannot show love and respect towards the women who gave birth to and raised the man she chose to marry will never be a good DIL.

I have never had a cross word with either of my daughters in law.  Similarly, my MIL and I have always had a great relationship.  I find the notion that MILs and DILs can't get along ridiculous.  But then again, I think marriage should be left to those mature enough to manage adult relationships.

I like this very much!  I hope this will be me in the future.  My own MIL was not the nicest and warmest woman to me, but over the years, I've learned to lower my expectations and do not take things personally.  As a result, I don't let little comments bother me.  I remain respectful and dutiful as without her there would not be DH.  In loving DH, I make every attempt to be kind and respectful to his parents.  I expect the same thing from him towards my own parents.  Loving someone means loving and respecting those they love, even if it's sometime not the easiest.  Time has waned some issues and now my MIL is quite sweet to my children and occasionally to me.  The latter is nice, but it's not imperative for me :).
