When I read all these Mother-in-Law postings it makes me sad. Not that I doubt the sincerity of what people write but because I think they don?t appreciate what it is like for young couples when there is no parental support available.
In the three years we were at university, this was prior to getting married, we lost all four parents (two in a motorway crash, one in a accident on the farm and one with cancer). Quite a lot to cope with in your late teens and early 20?s!
Try having no parents at your wedding, no grandparents for your children and no sources of emotional support available 24/7.
The loss of our parents was life changing for both of us so just remember that in the vast majority of cases any parent is better than none.
