[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of bitter MILs here. They choose to ignore OP’s description of her MIL always being late or not showing up when invites her. OP seems like a lovely busy mom. DH needs to step up and MIL needs to be more pleasant. [b]Grandparents are not entitled to be included. [/b]OP has every right to spend as much time with her own mom as she likes. [/quote]

Can you read? Multiple people are telling her to drop the rope. OP doesn't seem lovely she seems like a stupid glutton for punishment.[/quote]

Let us know when your own grandchild is born; 25% you.  Guaranteed, you will feel differently.[/quote]

What are you talking about? 25% me?  I don't own those kids. I have a daughter and 2 sons I fully expect I will have different relationships with my daughter and her family compared to my sons. That's how it works.[/quote]

No, it's not how it works. I had a great relationship with my MIL because we both made the effort.  Your DIL will see you treat her differently than your daughters, which makes a huge issue in the relationship.  You are the problem, not them.[/quote]

Ok, well I don't make much effort with my MIL because I don't want to and we have nothing in common. Sometimes that too is just how it goes and her son doesn't make much effort either. I was close with my mom until he died as were all my kids. The only one with a problem here seems to be you.[/quote]
