Ann, hope I get a nice dil when my son finally settles down, and hope he doesn't wait too long either. I will try hard to be a good mil. I never married so my mils have been mols lol He was with a nice enough girl for four years, she had a little lad before she met my son, but there were some things I didn't really approve of, like she would smoke cannibis in front of little lad and stuff. They split last Feb after he had spent loads of money on her and the boy for Christmas, I was a bit annoyed with that, but he said it didn't matter. She called it a day and then he found she had been seeing a friend of theirs.
He is only 25 but as I am 60 I want to be a Nanna soon lol

because my MIL was so horrible I made up my mind that when I got a DIL I would be the best mIL she could ever have, and I do believe I am - I love her to bits so she makes it so easy to be nice - couldn't wish for a better wife for my son

I really hope so Joanna xx

Aw ta AL.How you doing mate? I know you've had a hellish time of it lately xx

(((HUGS))) honey. You're lucky to have known her. Unfortunately, OH's parents passed away before we met, but I get the feeling we would have got on well. OH loves my mum to pieces!

AL

Aw, you are welcome.
You and I are the lucky ones. Thank God for our in-laws.
My MIL will always be with us: the funny thing is that she and my elder son hold cups etc.in their right hands in exactly the same way, curling their little fingers around in an odd way.
My husband and his bro do not do it, and none of her other grandkids - nor my younger son - but my elder one does.
How is that for genetics??
GOD BLESS MOTHERS-IN-LAW!

And in spite of all the knocks (and boy! am I going to have words with God when I finally see Him!) we will meet our loved ones again.
This world is too logical not to.

I don't hold strong beliefs I keep an open mind on things - if there is something more out there she'll be watching over them for sure Mandy that much I do believe xx

Joannna thanks for your words hon xx

Thanks Mandy xx

I was going to say exactly the same as Joanna...no, you're not odd just very lucky.

You have lots of happy memories of your MIL and she will be with your children in spirit. I don't know what your beliefs are so I hope this doesn't offend, but I firmly believe that my Mum and my inlaws are my son's three guardian angels.

Muffs it don't matter how long ago it happened
the fact is it's happened and it matters to you.
that's what's important. I loose the plot when it's time for me mams anniversary-think it's cos I never got the chance to say goodbye.

No, you are not odd.
Just very, very lucky like I was.
I arrived at the Vicarage in Neyland, Pembrokeshire, already engaged to the younger son of the Vicar and his wife.
I met my husband (this was 38 years ago!) in Malta.
I was living there for a second three year posting with my parents, and my future husband was one of only four shore-based RN officers based in Malta.
We got engaged with due ceremony in Malta.
So my future in-laws had no notion of the sort of person they had to welcome into their family. But welcome me they did.
I could not have chosen any better new family. I immediately felt welcome.
There is now only my MIL left, and she is very frail at 93.
I know damn well that I will be the one who most feels her loss when she does finally die.
The only reason I have now started on my 'other family' is so that I can give my sons the info on their Dad's ancestors, and put my lovely MIL's family on as well.

your turn numpty

Sorry mate

Thanks Catherine hon.

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.

Some years it's ok other years it's not.

This year isn't one of the better ones but I have a lot to be thankful for xx

Thank you Val and Kathryn 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

who won at scrabble????

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

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.....
