[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know anyone who has these kinds of MIL problems.  I know plenty of people who don't get along with their MIL, though most are polite.  I don't know anyone in real life whose mother insists on a 1 day trip to Cali or a 5 minute screaming session or calling names.  You are either exaggerating, not paying attention to the folks who don't talk about their MIL much, or need new friends.  Most people don't have this drama!  The conflict that I see are more along the lines of inlaws really want to see the kids for a holiday, but the parents don't want to travel, and people by and large end up working that kind of stuff out.[/quote]

Same.  I don't know anyone who has these horrible types of relationships that are written about here and I have a wide circle of friends and colleagues.  We all talk about family so it isn't as though someone is hiding something.  Most of the disagreements, if that is the right word, is about holiday time, who is going to travel to whom, and when.  Which, in a way, is a good thing to have a conflict about because it means the grands want to see the kids, and that's what is important to me.  My kids can't have enough people love them so I'm willing to bend over backwards to make sure they get lots of contact with their grandparents.[/quote]
