What do you really think about your child/children's choice of partner?

My DD's ex has really come up trumps. They are still best friends even though not living together. This is great for the children. He was a bit immature at first although I've always liked him but he's shown his true colours and been fantastic with DD's dreadful new relationship experience. I couldn't wish for better. I'm very fond of DS's partner too. She was shy at first but has got used to my sense of humour and we have girly sessions which are fun. I'm very lucky.

My dd's choice of partner goes a long way to explaining my long-term absence from GN.
she has been so ill for so long and his whole attitude was awful. However with family support she plucked up the courage to leave him. Nearly 4 months on she is coping so well and
I am very proud of her.
She is now in receipt of Disability Living Allowance, has rented a house to suit her family and yesterday took delivery of her Mobility car.
Physically she still struggles but emotionally is healing now.
I am hoping that I too might benefit from the change and will get back some time for myself.
I've missed GN and hope to return often.
Meantime the awful ex is on the margins of our lives!

Welcome back em, you were missed..Well done you and well done dd

Let's hope he stays there,*em*. All best wishes to your daughter and yourself and I really hope things are looking up for you both now.

I've been truly blessed by my children's choice of life partners. I have two wonderful sons in law and love my son's partner to bits. And they have all brought into my extended family their own lovely, loud, eccentric relatives - our get-togethers are fantastic.

We're very lucky.

Wellcome back

My SiL has no conversation. Nice but dim.

Lovely to see you back, em. Your DD must have inherited her mum's backbone. How's Dundee today? It was snowy when I left yesterday.

Oh anno there's a reason to regret that I've been incommunicado! What an opportumity missed. It is bitterly cold and still snowing.
Thanks for those kind messages, ladies. Hope to 'see' more of you.

Nice to see you back em

There will be other opportunities, em. I visit my sister and BiL several times a year.
