Remember you may become a MIL

Reading several posts today there are a large majority with moans from Dils. I’m not saying for a moment some aren’t a nightmare but some of us are ok. I dreaded becoming a MIL because of all the negativity I heard from work colleagues about theirs. I told my future Dils my concerns and asked them if I ever did anything they didn’t like they must tell me. So far so good just once I’ve been told and we discussed it and apologised to each other.

I hope when they become an in-law, especially if they have sons they will remember and understand it is not always an easy position to be in,

I expect my sons to support their wives but for both of them to remember we are his parents and have and continue to do our best

Yes, we too are friends with both dils mothers, both have been to stay with us even without their daughters.

We are also friendly with our DILs parents, and it is lovely socialising with our blended families.
