Scramble · 26/01/2008 22:51

I do too, she is me exH MIL now but still get on really well.

Bluenosesaint · 26/01/2008 22:51

Me!

I truly love my MIL and am very fond of my FIL. Don't know where i would be without either tbh

Wisteria · 26/01/2008 22:53

I have an ex MIL who I really miss but know she is still there for me and my current MIL is lovely but a major PITA and very interfering and intrusive...

moljam · 26/01/2008 22:56

i adore mine!dh jokes she prefers me to himshes 79(50 years older than me) but one of my best friends.shes had 6 children,however many granchildren and great grandchildren etc but never tells me what to do with my children-i have to ask for her advice.

Tommy · 26/01/2008 22:57

I think she would say that we get on very well. She is a very kind person, very nice, would do anything for me and would be terribly upset if she ever thought she had done anything to upset me but......

that, in itself, is sometimes quite hard to deal with

I do. We are very different as people. She is so completely normal and sensible.

NoIHaventChangedMyName · 26/01/2008 23:01

i'd love to be able to get on with mine. I sometimes feel we are getting there.

VictorianSqualor · 26/01/2008 23:02

Mine is awesome, the relationship is still in the early stages but there is a mutual respect there that is great.
She is actually my birthing partner.

VictorianSqualor · 26/01/2008 23:03

I think I scare FIL though, called him in the week to ask if they wanted to come for dinner tmorrow and he sounded ever so nervous bless him!

lucykate · 26/01/2008 23:06

i do, in fact, if me & dh ever split, i get custody of her

moljam · 26/01/2008 23:07

VictorianSqualor awww thats lovely about your mil being birthing partner

lucykate-thats exactly how i feel!

SnappyLaGore · 26/01/2008 23:08

my ILs LOVE me. i think theyre pretty lovely too (specially as they love me, like)

Izzybel · 26/01/2008 23:10

I do . Although she's not really my MIL as we're not married, so MIL to be I suppose. She's a good laugh and quite funny when we play games as she gets really into it.

Izzybel · 26/01/2008 23:11

Me and DP aren't married! Obviously, I'm not married to MIL!

VictorianSqualor · 26/01/2008 23:11

FWIW, I got on really well with exdp's mum too, he doesnt even see our children but she buys presents for me and my current partner for xmas, she was there when I had my CS with DS as well rather than xdp.
I seem to have been ucky with MIL's.

podglet · 26/01/2008 23:17

I do - think she would make a great birthing partner and would love to ask her but I think DP would find it weird esp since she is not really my MIL as

A) she is DP's step mum (his mum died 7 years ago but step mum has been married to his dad for 25 years)
B) DP and I aren't married so she isn't even really my step mum in law

This does not stop her being fabulous.

DaddyJ · 27/01/2008 18:38

I am full of admiration and affection for
both my MIL and FIL. Fortunately, the feeling is mutual.

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 27/01/2008 18:42

My MIL is absolutely no trouble.....she never criticises me, or makes snide remarks, anymore...........................

She is dead.......

gibberish · 27/01/2008 18:43

Same as LGJ!

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 27/01/2008 18:43

I love my MIL, and love the relationship dp has with her (they are very close).

hoxtonchick · 27/01/2008 18:45

i get on very well with mine. she rings me much more than she rings dp .

Carmenere · 27/01/2008 18:51

I don't really get on with mine, I resent her for being mean with her money when dp ended up in hospital with heart trouble from over work (she easily could have given him a couple of grand to get him by).
I find her very difficult to have around because although she means well (most of the time) we are from very different worlds and backgrounds. She is casually offensive to me and that causes me stress. I adopt the smile, nod, ignore tactic and everything is usually ok though.

She stinks though, really quite badly of unwashed decaying flesh and cheap scent and I find that difficult too tbh

Sunshinemummy · 27/01/2008 18:54

I have too. I get on really well with one of them and I don't get on at all with the other.
