There are so many posts on here from MILs who are desperate because, for some reason, they are unable to see their Grandchildren.
They all seem to have problems with the DILs, even though in most cases they say that their sons are happily married.
How many of us who married their sons have had a good relationship with the Mother in Law?

The ex deceased MiL was a horrible piece of work. My mom in law of 15 plus years is lovely and like a 2nd mom

Sometimes it's being cantankerous that keeps people going!!

Mine was fine, if a little eccentric grin

That’s the thing though Jalimall, everything is said with a smile..... oh you made me cakes, they are so pretty! Well as you know I don’t eat them, so I’ll give them to the kids next door, they eat junk food.
That kind of thing.
Or, when my father was diagnosed with cancer, Well he won’t last long then, don’t bother to buy him a Christmas present. I’m afraid on that occasion I walked out.
Said with a smile grrrrrr.

And she looks like a sweet old lady, everyone who meets her says how lovely she is! We, in the family just roll our eyes, if only they knew...

Having said all of that, she is having a tough time of it at the moment, as she has had a fall, so the family are all pitching in to help, especially in this awful weather.
