Lovely sons-in-law

I am quite sure that if my DiL's mothers were on here they would say they have wonderful SiLs.

It goes without saying Nonnie

I get on very well with my SIL

Yes, I only have one. My DD waited a long time to meet him, but it was well worth it. He would and does a lot for us. We are very very fond of him

It's just good to hear lovely things about these acquired children.

I have two lovely SiLs, very different from each other but then so are my DDs. They complement their wives perfectly. We have made good friends with their parents too. One set invited us to stay with them in France and gave us a wonderful holiday; the other set regular invited us to celebrate New Year with them. Aren't we lucky!

I meant 'regularly'.

I have/had two daughters and three son in laws. One son in law is now a widower, second son in law is first husband of younger daughter , divorce was her doing not his, third son in law is younger daughters second husband. I don't really know him , they live in Lincolnshire and he travels abroad a lot,

My widower son in law and my son in law who isn't, I will not call him ex , They were wonderful husbands to my daughters, one is a fantastic father to my grandchildren ,the other a very doting God father to my grandchildren. His second wife accepts the fact that he and I care deeply for each other. When my daughter died son in law who isn't wasfirst here, just came in knelt by the sofa and held me. In the recent snow both son in laws phoned to ask if I needed anything . I am truely blessed and think of them as my sons . When I moved a year ago one painted the bungalow, one lay carpets. I support them if they have troubles. When they got engaged to my girls I told them my home was their home. Son in law who isn't asked to stay a few days because his mother was having a new window in his bedroom, he stayed two years ?

Any suggestions for my "son in law who isn't"? It is rather long ?

DDiL's mother has said she has a wonderful SiL. I have a wonderful DiL

Annie, I rather like the title ' son in law who isn't', and although it may be long, it suits you and I hope him.

I have one daughter , and her husband is lovely. I thought she'd never meet "the one", then suddenly he appeared next to her in a pub,
where she was watching a rugby game on the big TV. She asked him if he knew the difference between a ruck and a maul....and 16 years later they are happily married with two lovely children. He is just right , a good provider and a wonderful father, and he loves my daughter as much as I do. What more could I want ?

What a grand bunch annie - touched to hear how one responded to your terrible loss.

I refer to my son’s fiancée as my daughter out law. She says it makes her feel daring!
My sil is the sweetest man I’ve ever known, so kind and supportive. DD’s taste in men has much improved with age ?

Thank you Auntieflo, he is use to me calling him son in law who isn't. When the marriage broke down my younger daughter stayed away from me for over a year because I refused to ask him not to come to my home, I was not going to break my promise that my home was his home , it still is and she now accepts this. What is so strange really is my sisters didn't think these two boys were good enough for my daughters coming from difficult home lives , I disagreed and I was right.

Lovely, Annie!

I have 3 lovely sons in law. I also have a lovely DiL.

Like you Annie my SiL came from a difficult background.Abandoned by his mother and grandmother at an early age he was brought up in care and had some terrible experiences.There have been problems but he is a wonderful father despite having no role models himself and has infinite patience with DD by her own admission.

I am intrigued by my DDs' choices of OH. All of the girls come from our middle class professional background with very high educational achievement - but they all chose their "bits of rough" as I call them rather than professional men. And very nice they are too!

My working class SiL is able to spend much more time with his children than my DH was ever able to.He works long hours but there are no meetings abroad or otherwise and no evenings spent in preparation for this or that.

Your son-out-law?
(depends on his sense of humour of course)

Annie your SILWI sounds wonderful - and the name you've given him is lovely. Having sons I don't have SILs but my sister in law's SIL is great and a brilliant father to their little boy. I know my youngest son's in law's think he's the best thing since sliced bread

I love my SIL likes my own son. He is a wonderful husband and father.

I know a young man working earning not much more that minimum wage. Wife is a senior professional big time. They are together since teens, got married after she finished uni. Now have a young child. Made for each other.

I am lucky to have 2 super SsIL ( one not official but has been in the family for a long time ).. Both always ready to help and muck in with the whole family. Both very supportive of our daughters and one a lovely Daddy to our. 2 year old DGS and the other a great ‘stepdad’ to our 15 year old DGS.

Life is strange, I wanted four daughters, no son, I was one of four girls and a baby brother , I told my parents to get the little monster adopted

I had four daughters, two died at birth and my beloved first born last year, younger daughter is many miles away, now in old age my son in law who isn't and my son in law are really the sons I thought all those years ago I didn't want, still got the little monster brother ?
