Just wanted to say how my I love my FILs.  FMIL has her BSC moments, but so do I and my mom!  Overall, they're super caring and willing to help FI and I out where we need it.  I can't wait to be an official part of their family, and my family can't wait to have FI be a part of mine.

Thought there should be a positive post about FILs and FMILs.  Hope you ladies are having a great day!

    As a Mom and a Mother-In Law....I thank you.  There are good ones out there. 

    I would also like to say I love my new Son-In Law.  While I am not sure any man on the planet is REALLY good enough for my daughter...he is doing an admirable job thus far of taking care of their new family.  I'll hold off killing him and hiding the body.

    I was kidding on that last one........today anyway.....  Innocent
    My baby girl is a married woman...and now my baby girl HAS a baby girl. Time unfolds in such an amazing way. I've been blessed!

    I love my MIL, too. She's older than my parents and retired, so she has lots of time on her hands and is just enjoying life right now, and I think it suits her quite well. She loves to see all her kids (4) as often as possible and is just super sweet.

    My H's dad died when H was 6 years old, so unfortunately I never got to meet him, but I have heard wonderful things, and I've heard more times than I can count that H is the spitting image of his dad. I wish I had had the chance to meet him.

    My FILs are absolutely wonderful people too! I'm just so thankful that I don't have to deal with any of the issues that are constantly brought up.

    My mom has always wished for my sister and I to have great in-laws since she's had so many issues with my grandma.

    I also love my FILs. I know they sometimes frustrate FI, but his mom especially has been SO helpful with wedding planning. They are also really being flexible with our holiday schedules being all wonky this year. I'm so excited to be marrying into a family that is so loving and fun. :)

    My future in-laws are amazing. They are so laid back and fun, and they accept me just the way i am. Either my fi is always at my house or i'm at theirs, or both families are together...but it's an amazing relationship because I found the man of my dreams and his parents are awesomeeeee

    I love my FILs too. FFIL and FMIL are great, and they met my dad this past June and all of them got along so well. I'm so happy I found someone that has a great family that is welcoming of me and mine.

    Darn - I started this post a couple of hours ago. I keep getting pulled away and forgetting to send.

    My FI's dad died a couple of years before I met him.  This has always been my wish too.  I keep hearing how much FI is like him, but I really wish I could have met him.

    The MILX2 thanks you all!  My DH loved my mom and she absolutely loved him back.  He also loves my dad and will do anything for them.  And I have a great relationship with my MIL.

    My mom learned how to be a good MIL from my grandma who my mom simply adored.  So then I learned how to be a MIL, and I hope a good one, from my mom.  I've worked really hard at having a good relationship with both my DIL and my SIL, and I'm happy to say that it seems to have worked. 

    In-laws aren't automatically the evil enemy.  They're undoubtedly different from your own parents~my mom was very different from my MIL.  But that didn't make either bad.

    I've used, as a jumping off spot with both of my kids' spouses that right from the get-go we had something important in common:  we both loved the same person!  =)

    Yay, I'm so glad so many people actually LIKE their in-laws!  Like I said, FMIL has had some absolutely OUT THERE BSC moments (and I have complained, yes, I admit) but I have many, many of those myself (just ask J) and so does my mom...I figure it all evens out in the end.

    Keep loving those in-laws, girls...sanity is fabulous!! =]
