Mumsnet

Thought you were talking about doctors for a moment Stansgran.

Whatever they write I think I would be tempted to do the exact opposite.

If there is a book we can write another, on how daughters-in-law should behave (and sons-in-law)

I think they are being disloyal, perhaps we should down tools for a couple of hours. You can't regulate Grandparenthood or produce a manual, despite the fact they have tried.

The perfect s-i-l should be kind and caring to his aged (me!) m-i-l and wash my her car every other week

Is it just about in-laws? Why can't they be asking Mumsnetters about their own parents' behaviour as grandparents?

Oh naughty, they will lose Grans from here

I've just been to have a look..............no sign of anything like that.
Could someone put a link on for me please?

Lana it's underTopics then Site Stuff And Carigransnet (the traitor) and they could win a Gransnet book.

Actually the thread is quite funny/wise and I don't see why we should feel threatened or betrayed!
This is my favourite, from someone called Dwerf:

"Remember the Grandmother's prayer; grant me the energy to step in when I'm needed, the discipline to keep my face out when I'm not, and the wisdom to know the difference."

Love that, Jane!

I agree, let's not get all uppity and umbrage-taking about a thread on Mumsnet which might actually provide a good safety valve for some frustrated/irritated parents.

Is Dwerf a grandmother?

If not it's just wishful thinking.

That prayer is what I try to do (with very held in comments)

Thanks Stansgran

Jane - Dwarf has said it all, extend it to life in general, and the world would be a happier place

Yes I often have a peep on Mums net and some comments not very good I try to do my best but I have a good relation ship with my D in Law and she really kind it goes both ways D in laws can be really horrible

A good idea Cari. Giving both sides a bit of insight and understanding.
