[quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting exercise. I think my in-laws mostly like and value me as a good partner for their son and a good mother for their grandchildren. A couple of things they probably don't like:

- I didn't change my name when we married, and we alternated the kids' last names (his, mine, his, mine). I know for a fact they dislike and disapprove of that.

- They wish we lived closer to them and visited more often. I don't know that they blame me for how little we see them, but they might. (They live in CA and the reason we don't go out there more often is that it's freaking expensive for five tickets to fly to the West Coast. And the reason we live here is that DH -- before he met me -- chose to attend law school here, and then he got a job here, and then he got offered partnership here, so ... not bloody likely we'll be moving across the country anytime soon).

- My MIL at least thinks that we are not stern enough disciplinarians with the kids. But they aren't around us enough for this to really be an issue.

- My MIL used to think it was weird that I BF my kids beyond 12 months (and I didn't do it that much past then, but every day of it just bothered her on some level), but then my SIL came along and nursed her oldest through a second pregnancy and is tandem nursing her 22mo and 4mo to this day, so I'm off the hook on that one lol.

That's all I can think of. I'm pretty lucky in the in-law department. They're Democrats, they're not religious, and they drink. Any small beefs they may have with me are very small indeed.[/quote]
