I had a superb relationship with my MIL. She only ever asked that we spent Christmas eve night at hers the rest of the break was down to us to choose where we went.

She never took sides or interferred. In fact she told me from the start to tell her if she ever did. I did tell her once that she was getting on my wick and she laughed and gave me a cuddle.

She died 10 yrs ago yesterday. I miss her to bits. I considered her more of a friend than a MIL.

She'd have loved my girls with a passion and would've made a superb Nanny.

Sadly she died 3 yrs before my eldest was born. Though she died thinking she was going to be a Nanny ( I miscarried 4 days after she died).

I sympathise with everyone who has MIL's from hell. My mum didn't get on with hers and I've seen it from the nasty side.

I was just so lucky to have had mine for the short time I was given. Just wish I'd had the chance to know her for longer.

Sorry to go soppy. Bad time of year for me. But for every 20 bad MIL's there must be one diamond like mine out there xx

aww bless u muffy

Big sloppy hug heady your way Muffy xxxx PS my MIL is fab too - sept its easier to call her that than explain. OH and I been putting off D Day for years ...... we are penciled in for next year ... but subject to change - but his mum is great and is used to us.

Muffy your mother-in-law lives on in your fabulous children

Oooooo a wedding !!! LOVELY. Send me some pics of the day when it happens Maddie Moo. I love a good wedding xx

Awwww that's lovely Errol xx

Eldest has inherited her artistic streak but neither look like her. She had two boys though and had a yearning for a girl. She'd have cut her right arm off for a girl. I remember when I told her I was expecting (we knew she didn't have long) she expressed a desire for a grand daughter. Said she wouldn't be disappointed with a boy but a grand daughter would be the cherry on the icing on the cake such a shame she didn't get to see them. She was only 50 when she died xx

lol Muffy ...dont get too excited I keep shifting it into the follwing year - the idea and all is lovely - but then I work out the cost and worse still Family to invite and brain goes to mush and I move it again.

I have had two MIL - got on wsith them no problem - but my mother..............OMG

pmsl Maddie.

Shan't buy me hat yet then eh? lol xx

My first MIL was awful ..... I learned to play Golf just to spend days out with FIL rather than be left at home with her!!

Next one was ok .... but lived in the shadow of her sons and husband and never thought for herself.

OH and I been together 9 Years and I love his MUM - I often tell him thats halfthe reason I put upwith him lol.

Shes in her Mid 70's but so lively and fun and never ever interferes - I actually enjoy her company and going out for the day is fun and not a chore.

No Muffy dont buy a hat.....

If you are happy Maddie then why stress yourself? I think you are doing the right thing not commiting money and emotional stress to it.

We bogged off to Las Vegas for our wedding and had a superb time.

Lots of people took issue with us but we had the day we wanted without the crippling expense. I was told I'd regret it but I never have. xx

muff i wanted a mil like yours,i ended up with a snapping turtle,lol.
shes done some awful things,and when it gets to that point i just shut off.
im like that with anyone,i,ll do my best to be a good dil/mate/sister etc.........but cross that final line and theres no going back.
thats how it is with her.
even my hubby dont speak to her,and its all by his own choosing.xx

It's only numbers I know but losing MIL and first baby to miscarriage 10 yrs ago brings it home to me for some reason.
