Daughters in Law- in appreciation

I have 4 dils and all are great in their own way. Some live close, some are a world away. Quite different personalities. All good mums and hard working. Their ways aren't always our,ways but nothing wrong with their ways.

As pp said, if they can put up with our DSs and they are all happy, then I'm happy.

No-one knows about the future ...... at present I consider myself fortunate.

My DiL makes my son very happy and is great with my only GD so she certainly gets my vote. They aren't all bad...

On Gransnet, understandably we hear so much about the problems Gransnetters have with DiL, but I do think, now and again, we should say a word in praise of all the DiL (& MiL) who never get a mention because they have never caused any problems and, to the contrary, are a wonderful addition to our families when they join them.

I would like to say a good word for both DiL and MiL. I had a lovely MiL. DH was an only child, so she could have been a possessive difficulty, but she wasn't. At times I found her easier to confide in than my own mother, kind, supportive and unjudgmental.

As far as DDiL is concerned, I couldn't have better. It still amazes me that someone as nice as her could possible want to be married to DS who, at times, can try the patience of a saint. She is a marvellous and loving mother, far more quiet and patient with the children than I ever was. We share a similar taste in clothes and interests and, when we can, have lovely girly days out, usually including DD.

Mine knows I love her to bits !!
