To tell you all that this Christmas, my MIL told me she loved me.

Isn't that cute? And aren't I lucky to have a MIL like that?

I've been with DH for almost 15 years now...bless MIL. She must really love me for real as she's never said it before!

15 years?! Wow that must feel like getting a 10 from Craig

She's not the most demonstrative woman it's true.

Come, on now, how much did you give her to drink?

That is lovely

Ah that’s lovely, I can’t imagine my MIL ever saying that to me 😂!

She was a bit merry

That's lovely.

My ex MIL, ex FIL and ex SisIL all told me they loved me yesterday. But they also tell me they love me every time I see them. And I bloody love them to bits too!!

Awww thats really nice and to say that at Christmas its special

I am very lucky to have a wonderful MIL. She tells me that I am the best DIL in the world and that if she had ever had a daughter she would have wanted her to be like me! Bless. She is a very kind and frail old lady now, but we have never had a cross word in almost 20 years, and I can honestly say I love her and will really miss her when she's gone. FIL was a different matter.....

Yay! Happy day :-)

Aww! Well done that Mother in Law! We aren't all bad you know!

That's lovely, my mil is same, I'm like her daughter, it's very comforting to have mil such she is on my side, she's never judgmental and always understanding. I really appreciate her, coz I know its rare.

Aw that's lovely!

I've been with DH 6 years and remember the first time MIL told me she loved me. DH and I come from very different families- his do not display any affection towards eachother and mine are a bit OTT with it. So I'll say "I love you" when I say goodbye to any of my family whereas MIL and DH didn't say it to each other at all.

A couple of years ago they started saying it at the end of every phone conversation and when they say goodbye and it makes me all gooey inside to know that it was because of my influence

Bang gorgeous! Now your MIL can relax in the knowledge that she's spoken the words....people sometimes live to regret not telling don't they?
