My DIL has a good relationship with her parents, they are nice people and have stayed at my house. GS10 would love all of us, GPS, cousins, aunts and uncles from both sides of the family to live in the same street or even better in a row of terraced houses. That’s his dream.
From the very beginning I have treated my DIL more like a DD. She certainly has changed, our first conversation when she was 19 was her saying yes or no to anything I said to her. DS adored her from the minute he met her and she him.
I think the thing for us is DD knows I love her DC, I have always treated my GC equally. DIL and I get on, we like similar things, same type of food, we often go shopping together, just us. I get invited to visit, these school holidays I am taking two of my other GC to stay for the whole school holidays.
I am very grateful I have a lovely DIL. Now if we were talking about my DD’s FIL. DD was at the back of the line when it came to FILs. She didn’t get a nice one.
