[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, It was nice to hear your reflections on your MIL. Many people do not get along with their MIL's. So this was refreshing.

I adore my MIL too, and I am in awe of her parenting and grandparenting. I have learned so much from her. The most impressive thing is that she has never corrected me, or made suggestions, or done anything but consider me a great mom for her grandkids and a great wife for her son. I am so far from perfect, but she is so accepting and loving.

the day she passes will be one of the hardest days for me. I am so blessed. My friends don't understand the depth of my love for her.[/quote]

I adore this.  This is how I want to be someday.  I want to be remembered fondly.

My MIL is all about appearances, and extends more kindness to distant, distant, distant family than her own small grandchildren.  Awful.  She was bitter well before I came along, so there is nothing I can do about it.  My mere presences only makes it worse, since we are so different.  She is cold and acts in an unwelcoming manner.  I loved your story, PP.  [/quote]
