I love my DIL with all my heart. She is like a daughter to me. My other son isn't married but if he does, regardless of his wife, I will stay out of their lives unless invited in, and will make every effort to be friendly, yet remain in the background. I truly want my DIL(s) to shine. This isn't always possible and I can say that NOW because the girl my youngest is with IS NOT, in my opinion, the DIL I would want...but it isn't my choice. If he does marry her, I will show her the same respect she will hopefully show my son. If she doesn't, then she will get the same from me. If she makes him happy, I'm her best friend. I will NOT interfere; however. I will simply be there if he needs me.

Clear as mud?

When she starts complaining about my son, I laugh, turn her to face me and say, "Look at me. Straight in the eyes. Now listen....you CAN NOT GIVE HIM BACK!"

I say it slowly so there is no mistake. We both end up howling.

Harmony - isn't that all any of us want in our relationships at this stage of the game?

I'm a ong way off from daughter-in-laws. Neither son is in a relationship.
