DIL's that are a blessing?

I have a beautiful DIL who is the mother of my only GC. She is everything I could wish for in a DIL and the whole family love her.

I have a lively SIL who bravely took on my D. Four GC and 17 years later and they are still very happy together.
My one 'gripe' is that he has only once called me 'mum', as a joke, and never ever uses my name! (How petty is that? )

We have a very good relationship with our SIL. He fits into our family very well and has got used to the fact that my daughter talks to me about anything and everything. I was the one he was messaging in a panic when he was preparing to propose (in public). Along the lines of 'she will say yes won't she'. 'Yes she will say yes. This went on for a couple of days and of course she said yes. They married last year and are now expecting a baby and I get the occassioal message when he has a panicky moment lol. My daughter says she knew he would fit in when the first time he met her dad they were sitting by the computer together my DH starting pieces of music and my SIL guessing them from the intro. Her words at the time were 'Oh god, I'm dating a replica of my father lol.

I love my Sil and Dil; having had a dreadful and negative non relationship with my own spiteful Mil I made my mind up years ago that whoever my children chose I would love them no matter what. And they are both easy to love.

We have a lovely DIL too, and she even gets on really well with my DH (and that is not always easy, the dear man has his faults, and so do I.)

She is an independent young woman who runs her own business, but the only thing that really matters is that she loves our son and he loves her!

I hope DS1 and DS3 marry their lovely, longstanding girlfriends, so I can be a bonafide MiL & wax lyrical about them on threads such as these!

I have a lovely DIL who seems to know just how to deal with me and two very different delightful SILs, I know I am very lucky.

I feel so lucky to have a lovely DIL and a lovely 'might have been' DIL except that her partner, my son, died. They live at opposite sides of the country and I live halfway between. I organise an annual get-together weekend to be sure that we all see each other at the same time at least once in the year. We all enjoy each other's company and watching the children playing with their cousins.

How lovely to be able to compliment our DiLs. Often the posts are about awful DiLs and I wouldn't, then, want to start saying how wonderful mine is. DH and I were so lucky with our MiLs whom we both loved dearly. Where I feel especially lucky is that my DDiL often includes me in things with her mum. I have just come back from her house where she had her friends and mum round to watch the royal wedding and asked me to come too. I never expect it but am so grateful to her.

I have a lovely DIL. She is 9 years older than my son and only 14 years younger than me so maybe that's why we get on so well. They only married in March but have been together a few years and have my nearly 3 year old DGD together. My DIL also has grown up twins aged 19 and a 17 year old and did a fantastic job in bringing them up on her own and training to be a nurse during that time.
At the wedding unknown to my son or anyone, she organised an Elvis impersonator as my late husband (who died 19 months ago) was a big Elvis fan. It was very emotional. She is just thoughtful and will help in whatever way she can. I'm lucky that they live on the same street. I've also got my daughter, future SIL and DGS living with me. He's also great and we get on well.

I have a wonderful DDiL and DSiL, I feel very blessed. I was a much loved DDiL and loved my DPiLs more than my own DPs. At times of stress I think of my now deceased DiLs and derive much comfort.

3 dear SIL's different as chalk and cheese but make our dear D's happy - therefore us ! QED

None of my children have partners, neither do I. ..seems to run in the family ?
We are all very close to each other, on good terms with ex partners and adore 2 fabulous grandchildren.

I have the loveliest DiL, sadly not still with DS, who sent me a wonderful Mothers Day card from her and DGD this year, I have no idea what I did with it!

@Granny3Rose , I am so sorry to read of the loss of your son. ((Hugs))

Thank you everyone! It has greatly cheered my heart to read all of these reports on good and healthy relationships with our "extra" kids.
