Does anyone have a nice MiL?

[wonderings2]

I've seen loads of threads recently where people are having an awful time with their Mother in laws, so I thought Id ask...

I have a lovely MiL, some of the things she has done/does

• Said she wouldn't come and visit after DD was born until I was ready for guests even though she was beside herself with excitement.
• Always brought round a cottage pie when DD was small to save me cooking.
• Asks SiL to help her chose (and order online) when she buys DD clothes so she gets something she knows I'll like.
• Snuck a bag of ironing out of the house and text me afterwards as she knew Id never agree to her taking it.
• Never interferes between me and DH or comments on how we parent.
• When DD went through a phase of playing shops she saved all her food packaging & receipts, put together a till with real money and set up a life size shop in her living room and played shops for hours. 😅

Thought I'd share something nice - most of my posts are moans 😂

Mine was lovely. She was a wonderful mother in law to me for over 30 years and is much missed.

Yep. I absolutely love mine.
She's an excellent mil, so I'm very lucky.

Mine was wonderful, supportive, generous, a fabulous grandma and became best friends with my mum. I miss her dearly.

My MiL was amazing and, I hope, my DH feels the same about my DM.
I am taking a leaf out of both their books by trying to be an amazing MiL to both my DiL.
I live miles away from them both (although at the moment living with one to help out) so I'm probably not as "hands on" as some, The DiL, I'm staying with, probably thinks I could be a bit more hands on (like running the hoover round) without being asked! However, there is a fine line between being helpful and interfering.
