Everytime I'm on here there's someone else moaning about their MIL/SIL etc!
My MIL and SIL are lovely Grin and I do think that lovely in-laws don't get mentioned on here an awful lot!
So please feel free to brag about your lovely in-laws here!

Yes indeed Worra a lovely MIL and EX MIL is just excessive and over indulgent

Consider yourself taken outside Grin

My PIL are a long way away. So no issues

WorraLiberty · 02/07/2016 12:47

I really really like my Step-Fil too Blush

I think of mn like a problem page. Nice relatives are not a problem that's probably why they don't need mentioning.

Love my PILs they are just the kindest, most practically helpful, genuinely likeable people. I love my SIL, her partner and their kids enormously too - we don't have huge amounts in common, but they are always interested and involved, and make extra effort to adjust things like family parties to suit the additional needs of my DC. They never make a big deal out of it either. They are fab.

My FIL was great but sadly he passed away a few years ago. MIL is somewhat dogmatic at times!

I love my MIL. She's kind, generous, adores the children and babysits for free.

She generally doesn't interfere and if I decide not to take her advice, doesn't make a fuss about it.

She loves taking dd out and about to give me a bit of peace & quiet which as I've just had ds, is a blessing.

Bless my mil! Grin

I love my MIL, she's awesome. Sweet, kind, spoils my little ones rotten when she sees them and I adore having her come to stay, I really look forward to her company.

And I adore my SIL (younger brothers wife) like my own sister. My brother died 4 years ago now and she is still our family. Still sees my parents and stays at their house, still comes to all family events and weddings. I love her to pieces.

I'm very proud that I have such a brilliant family!

Same! I'm dead lucky Grin

AlwaysDancing1234 · 02/07/2016 14:06

Does your DH have any nice, good looking, good with money, good with kids.... brothers that you could send our way Grin

I adore my MIL - we're off out for dinner and drinks on Wednesday and I get on just fine with all 6 of my SIL's (my brother's long term DP, my DP sisters and my 2 BIL's respective)

From what I read on here I'm very lucky!!!

Crunchymum · 02/07/2016 14:16

Respective wives

RuskBaby · 02/07/2016 14:23

Thank heavens I was beginning to think I was imagining my MIL being so sweet, kind and caring I am so grateful for her! Some people do have complete horrors to deal with.

bigtapdancingpimp · 02/07/2016 14:32

I loved my ex-MIL. She lived in a different country, didn't speak a word of English and was an excellent cook. FIL and SIL's all lovely too - shame her son was such a prick Grin

My SIL (brother's wife) on the other hand is a complete horror. Caused so much pain to my lovely parents and isolated him from me for eight years. We spoke last year but I will never have a relationship with him while he's married to that witch.
