[quote=Anonymous]Generally agree as it was true for my mum and grandmums (whose MILs were all total duds). But it is not true in my case. MIL treats me as her daughter and calls me daughter and we are very close. I honestly think we talk/ laugh more than she does with my sister-in-law (DHs sister).

They are a very reserved people and I bring her out of her shell and I think she enjoys that. Her other two grandkids, (my sister-in-law‘s kids) are much quieter and reserved and 5 to 10 years older than my clan so they are night and day with all our kids who are all loud, showy and bubbly but I think she really enjoys how outgoing they are and is proud of their self-esteem. DH and I are both the babies in our families and the kids inherited our personalities.

My side is just not very involved- live in another country and  my siblings aren’t married or having kids and my mum is deceased. If she were alive we would’ve maintained a close relationship. One of the biggest things I miss about her is how much fun she and I would have with her and MIL all together. Anyway perhaps part of my closeness w MIL is because I lost my mum.[/quote]
