[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your top tip for having good relations with daughter-in-law & son-in-law?[/quote]

My own MIL was very welcoming and inclusive towards me. She did advice me on lot of things but these were gentle suggestions instead of orders.  She shared a lot of her recipes and childhood memories, and stories  but she was also very interested in me as a person. Not in my relationship with her son (and she never commented about that at all), but rather what I liked to eat, what I thought about things etc. She is really a very sweet and caring soul who will always think of others. She has looked at me like a daughter (she has two sons) and she was so happy when my DD was born.

When I got married I did not know how to cook at all.  She would cook all the meals and she let me hang around in the kitchen watching her cook. She would ask me what I wanted to eat and took genuine pleasure if I liked any dish she made.  I have been married for 35 years and will be going to my country of origin in a few days and I will see her after 4 years. I yearn to hang out with her and listen to her stories.  I cry when I think that she is getting frail and perhaps I don't have much time with her. [/quote]
