My son-in-law is wonderful. My daughter has just flown back from England to New Zealand, to find a hot meal waiting, a clean house, and a pile of presents to welcome her home. He became stepfather to her four children, then aged from 3 to 12, when he was only 26 and they all adore him. His parents welcomed my daughter and her children and I was so happy because I had been the only grandparent to all my gc since they were born. They bought the house next door to my daughter and she was delighted as the children would just pop round and be entertained.
I have never felt any jealousy - love is limitless and the 'other gran' became a good friend. Sadly, she is now in a nursing home with advanced dementia.
I also have a grand-daughter-in-law, who is the mother of two of my great-grandchildren, and a grandson-in-law, who is the father of the other two. I love them both as they have made my grandchildren very happy.
On the other hand, I loathed my daughter's previous partner, who was twenty years her senior and did not support the family at all. I was so pleased when she married a man who was half his age, and a foot taller!
I never criticised him to my daughter though, as I knew she would feel obliged to take his part and I could have lost her. So, I gritted my teeth for many years until she saw through him.
My own in-laws were horrible bigots and it was so good to get rid of them when we were divorced.
