[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be like your DIL. I have gotten to the point where I just realize that my MIL and I will never have the relationship I have with my mom or family members. It sucks because I live near my in laws and not my mom but we are having a baby in the summer and I would feel incredibly uncomfortable with my mother in law doing any chores around the house. My mom on the other hand will be put to work. [/quote]

You can have that relationship.  You choose not to.[/quote]

Wrong. both people have to chose the relationship. My MIL has never treated me like she would her daughter. I have been married for 7 years and it take two to build that kind of relationship. If she wanted it, she could have invested in building that kind of unconditional love early on so that I could feel that I could actually ask her for help if I needed it. I don't feel that I have unconditional love in that relationship and when you are having a baby (a super vulnerable time) you want to be around someone that will help and support you even in the darkest time not someone you feel will secretly judge you.
