to say my MIL...

[browneyesblue]

... is fantastic

She has come to visit for a few days, and is currently hemming my new curtains while I mumsnet and drink wine work.

I know lots of you have difficult MILs (understatement, I know - and I both sympathise and live vicariously through your tales of woe), but AIBU to be thrilled that I got lucky in the MIL lottery?

Gloating, me? Never

yadnbu, i want to be like your mil, that is if i'm lucky enough to one day have such a great dil (like you of course)

Ta very much

I'd quite like to be her type of MIL too. She's just poured some more wine, and I've had a bit of a whinge to her about my lack of mad MIL stories. She said she'll try harder.

She can come again

Gloat away.

Am
The only problem I have with my MIL is that she lives a 9 hour flight away.
She's lovely, and brings out the absolute best of DH.

YANBU.

Mine's lovely too, she came round with baked goodies the other day...much appreciated!

I too love reading the stories of others mad MILs though

Can I join the 'I have a lovely MIL' gang?

Come in, come in!

Haven't seen you on here in ages SKOMH (your name stuck in my head for some reason )

Ah, I've been around

My mil is fantastic. She has had breast cancer twice, having on removed last year and she has not once grumbled. Lovely lady she is! I love her to bits

Oooh I have a lovely MIL as well! I know I am VERY lucky and promise not to take her for granted.

She has literally just called to say she is posting edible Christmas tree decorations to us. Fab!

My MIL is lovely too. A teensy bit trodden on my FIL, and a whole heap nicer than my mum who can be frankly terrifying at times.

I feel sorry for DP, he really has lost out in terms of MILs. I've gone and saddled him with a bloody cliche...
