[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 738156, member: 18958"] Hi Nomad I would love you as my mother in law. I think it is touching that you want to do better. But the thing is daughter in law is carrying her own baggage. She may be making strong boundaries because of her own insecurities or because of her experience with her own mother, as you suggest. Let her. _____ Notes to future self if I am ever lucky enough to have a daughter in law. Love her as she is. Remember she is mine. Regardless of what she could have more or less of. Make my own life. Accept with grace what my son and his wife offer. Be grateful. Keep secrets. Recognize that my son has to put his partner first. Let her be human. Accept her foibles. Let go of hurt feelings. PS I would find being a mother in law very, very difficult, if not impossible. Honestly. I don't think I could ever do the above. [/QUOTE]
