Who cares if a DIL doesn't love her MIL as much as her own daughter?  My husband doesn't love my mother as much as I love my mother either.  Your attitude about loves and family relationships is so sexist and narrow-minded.  In my original post, I pointed out that mothers without daughters don't need to be pitied because they can have loving relationships with their sons.  If you don't think your son's love is worth the same weight as your daughter's love, then that's your sad mindset to live with.  Not everyone feels the same.

This thread is about mothers being the sole gatekeeper in terms of access to grandchildren.  I encourage mothers to challenge this dynamic by raising your sons to be as close to you as your daughters, so you don't have to go begging your DIL for access to the kids.[/quote]

You are like that woman in Tolstoy's novels who kept responding to what she thought the person said, not to what she actually said.

But by all means, continue to fight the good fight.  Ignore a thousand threads from women who say they'd rather hang out with their mom than with their MILs.  Who knows.  Maybe you can will yourself into a different reality. [/quote]
