[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One day your kids (assuming you have them) will be grown and married and you will be an in law yourself. Understand that the in laws want a relationship with their child but [b]that MIL isn’t your competition. [/b] [/quote] I don’t think many women here understand this concept at all. [/quote] I think that it's MILs who start the competitiveness, though. My MIL has never acted possessive of my husband's time and attention, so I have never felt like I'm in competition with her. I'm happy for them both when he calls her, helps her out with things, and takes her out for her birthday. And she actually gets upset if she sees one of her sons not making their spouse a priority (maybe because she felt that way often during her marriage). But a lot of MILs have a difficult time with the adjustment when they become a lower priority after marriage. [/quote]
