After reading a few posts on here I feel sorry for all these Mother in Laws...

They seem to be generally interested, maybe a little over keen, but with a bunch of self pitying, whinging daughter in laws who think the world revolves round them, are passive aggressive, have not bothered setting up a relationship and are too pathetic to establish the boundaries in a nice way and come on here and moan instead.

Perhaps people complaining about mother in laws should think about the petty nature of what they are moaning about, and how lucky they are to have mother in laws who care and want to see their grandchildren.

I hope that when your precious baby becomes a parent themselves that you are not shut out by a daughter in law who sees your interest as meddling.

Yes, I probably am being unreasonable, but am generally and regularly amazed at what people find to moan about, particularly as even with the spin they put on it the behaviour, even if somewhat overbearing, comes out of love and interest.

My Mil wishes that I did not exist
she ignores my ds & dd,even though she is crazy about the other grandkids, never comes to visit

& even though my dh & I are always there in time of need , she still does not accept us as part of her family

Most of you would think this is great but it is very hurtful to be rejected so blatantly &
to see ur kids go through it as well

OP, if mumsnet irritates you so much then feel free to fuck off.

I loved my MIL/FIL; very very deeply.

They bred my DH who I love.

Cats don't breed Dogs.
