Does any one want to adopt me as their DIL?

[ChocolateBlock]

I'm already a happy DD but I've temporarily had enough and I fancy a change of scenery. I come with a ready made DGS who is such a lovely and happy boy you won't be disappointed. I'm in my 30s good career very independent but love to spend time with others. I am a relatively good cook and will happily bake some sweet and savoury treats. Baby DS is 7mos and I guarantee will make you laugh and smile. So any takers?

Yes we mainly went Tuesday. In 2008 he still had a black ponytail.
We actually met at jive many years ago but not that one.

Todaywewilldobetter that's a deal, I've lost one of mine, so there is plenty of room.

I love this. I'm thinking a new business. Instead of online dating I match dils to mils and sils to sils and any other acronyms going.

Yes do it chocolate block, you already have a few for your books

OP, great business idea and your spreadsheet skills will come in handy .

@ChocolateBlock you flatter me. I am an older mum with a teenager.

Or “ supply agency for MILs “ just in case someone needed a change/ stopgap/ replacement one
When I left full time teaching I was a supply teacher for a couple of years until I retired. Supply agencies make loads of money!

@MrsMoastyToasty you can be a "big sil" plus I've always got on better with adults since I was a child (I appreciate I am an adult now but I certainly don't feel it!).

If anyone has a name idea please let me know

@2018SoFarSoGreat, can I borrow you? I already have a Texan mother in law to be, and she's severely letting the side down. You sound great.

Also up for being a sil, @ChocolateBlock, I've been learning about v-lookups and if statements, think a pivot table is way out of my league though...

I love the business idea.

Having spent enough time on MN, I now worry about my MIL skills. In my head (and my heart) I am a great one. I learned what to do from my DM (a lovely MIL to my DH) and from my MIL (not quite what I aspire to) however; I have no idea how my DIL sees me. I'd like to be 'scored' in real life, not for a pride thing, but so that I can work on the things that make me annoying/crazy/over-much - and improve.

I do love my lovely DIL, and it would break my heart if she felt about me the way so many MN'ers feel about their MIL.

Can this be part of the services offered by MIL&More? You can survey and then give feedback. Everyone would win!

@Bellaphant absolutely! I already know the words of a song to make rhyme with your name, and everyone needs their own special song :) I also can show you the most magical way to make a pivot table - it is literally 3 or 4 clicks. Just like doing a chart or graph - it is the happiest thing I've found in LockDown!

(I'm just outside SF, so far from a Texan)

I need an MIL or a DM. My partners mum passed alway when he was young and I've no contact with my mum, so I'd really love one to talk to.
My kids who are 13&17 would also love a grandma.
This is the sweetest of threads and I think you're really onto something here as a business venture!
As an aside, how do you get excellent at spreadsheets - I am truly terrible and have to use them for work, it makes me feel so stupid

@2018SoFarSoGreat treat your DIL as if she was one of your own and you're on the right path.

I wish I was brave enough to google “ pivot table” but after looking up a few other things mentioned on mumsnet in the past, not going to risk it. I’m obviously a very naive nanny!

I will be happy to do a zoom (you don't have to show faces if you choose not to!) to show you all how to a magical pivot table. it is so easy, if you have a good spreadsheet going!

MN Excel 101.

I love MIL&More particularly as the milk service here is milk & more

I'll draw up a business spreadsheet plan for Lord Sugar and put in for the next Apprentice.

@mulberrybag I'm so sorry. Now I'm wondering if I could be your mil or DM. I'd love to bake your children some cookies. And sadly years of Excel make you good at spreadsheets. I can make one for just about anything.

@mulberrybag you are welcome to join our lovely time share plan. Wait till we get that roster set up and come on in. You sound like a lovely gift DIL for anyone of us to adopt ❤️

I’m willing to volunteer as an auntie to your DS. Mine have long since left baby/toddler stage and are slap bang in the middle of an extremely annoying stage of thinking they know more than they do, so I’d gladly be the fun aunt reading stories with funny voices, tickling before bed, making up completely untrue stories about you as a child, going out in the rain without an umbrella, cutting his cucumbers into moons and stars, and so forth

In my head I’m a young, single, fun, cool aunt. In reality your DS will probably think I’m old enough to be his grandma with zero life outside of him. But that’s okay. Love it when they poke your belly and call it squishy!

Err well I'd adopt you but I don't think I have any chocolate in? Do you want my mother? She'd eat all the chocolate but it'd mean she'd forget about me! Bonus.

So let me tell her about her new daughter. We probably look different but I could steal her spectacles.
