To be concerned about becoming a MIL?

[nokidshere]

I read lots of posts on various sites about MIL's and 99% of them seem to be really awful. With two boys of my own I am a bit nervous of becoming a MIL in the future!!

My own MIL is lovely and has never been anything other than supportive to us (we have been married for nearly 30yrs) we don't always agree and she has moments when she purses her lips tightly but on the whole we have always got on well.

So, to all you people with horrible in laws - a)are you absolutely sure that its not partly your fault? and b)what would you want your in laws to be like on a daily basis?

when i read about some MILs, i realise that i am lucky to have the one that i have!

we have had a couple of minor issues regarding me having plans with DD and MIL just assuming i should drop them and let her take DD for the day and one very serious issue regarding safety, but besides that she is great. she is very laid back so i think that helps.

we don't have much in common though, i am very sociable & friendly, she is more quiet and reserved so we aren't friends, we don't socialise together. i have friends that get on great with their MILs and have become firm friends. i'd like that with any future DIL i may have.
