Every week there are threads about the other grandparents, in-laws, new wife, ex wife etc.

Although I think a lot are created by trolls and bots it is ridiculous!

My DIL and son spend a lot of time with her parents, it’s just the way of the world, they are great people and everyone gets on, we are busier than them and see less of our lovely son and wife but love the time we do spend together.

I am so happy they are so good to our son.

Do people not realise that their behaviour is likely to cause a rift.

I think it’s really immature behaviour.

AIBU?

My we had 3 daughters, my wife advised them to “make friends” with MIL, they all did just that, MILs were always first call for childcare.
As for trolls or bots there are many bad relationships with DILs, caused by both sides so I dont doubt the truth of most.
