I was just curious. I am lucky enough to have an awesome mil. She never interferes, we are great friends, we have good communication, she takes great care of my son, and never does anything for the baby without asking me first. She helps endlessly. She tells me what a great mom I am all the time and how happy she is that I married her only son. And she is genuinely an honest, hard working person who raised my husband right despite all of the turmoil she had in her life thru the years. I just feel so bad for all the people here who have horror stories about their mil. Just wondering if there was anyone else out there who did not wish their mil would go to a foreign country:)lol!

I guess it depends on what your expectations are for you mil. I always thought it would be great to have a mil i felt comfortalbe calling and talking to, shopping with, etc. That didn't happen, but on the other hand, she doesn't interfere and loves my boys endlessly. Although with that loves comes a lot of spoiling, but I know she means well. She would also drop anything and help us if we needed. Not what I had envisioned but not bad either. Now the sister n laws are another story-CRAZY!!!

I love my MIL to pieces! She never interferes, and always tells what a great Mom I am. She had 3 boys, so she treats me as if I were her own daughter. I would be absolutely devastated if something were to happen to her! There is nothing about her that I dont like!

My mil and I have a great relationship, which is a real blessing b/c I lost my own mom to b___st cancer when I was 16. We do have disagreements, but it never gets ugly, and we both love my son soooo much!!

My sil is a young 24. I say that because age does not determine maturity. She has a ways to. And I'm only 28. But she means well and loves the baby. I would never leave him alone with her though.....

I have a great MIL she is more like my Mom than MIL. We are very close and she is the only person who really helps me.

You guys are so lucky....my in-laws are a nightmare!!! They are always fighting with each other, we try to stay out of it but someone will always call & say "Can you believe she did this?" or "Do you know what he said?". errrrr!!!! They live 10 to a 1 bedroom house that smells like the county dump. Most of the time the plumbing doesn't work but they choose to spend their money on big screen TV's & cell phones rather than get it fixed. They have never given us a gift for anything (not even our wedding) but feel the need to criticize every gift I get them. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS LADIES!!! =)

I definitely count my blessings! Especially after hearing all the horror stories about in laws here. Thats why I was wondering if I was the only one who had a good one. It is encouraging that there are some.I feel really bad for the others!!! It could have easily been a nightmare for me too, depending on who I chose to marry!

My dh's mother died when he was very young (8 years old) But I do have one of the best FILs ever. He is not one that I just call and talk to or go hang out with, but I would trust him with my daughter, and I appreciate all of the advice he has given us. My step MIL is OK. She has grandkids of her "own" so she doesnt see Amaya very much but when she does, she is always very nice and has never once said anything negative (actually she told me right after having Amaya that I looked really good, it was just to make me feel better but it worked!)

Mine would be nice if she took more interest in her grandkids. She only ever wants to talk about herself. Last time I went to her house she sat upstairs for the whole time we were there. I was in th living room with my partner and the kids. I thought that was complete ignorance. So I have never been since. Ohhh she complains that she neevr sees the kids so I've told her now if she wants to see them she can come to my house, but leave her filthy cigarettes outside.

lol rachael...I guess you were talking about my post where I mentioned that I wish she would stay in another country.
she is not so bad..she stays away (maybe because she doesnt drive) She is very nice but just depends way too much on her sons. I have nothing in common with her so we can b___t heads....but deep down I know she is a very good person and I do have love for her....
