I've tried to be a good MIL. In fact, one of my SILs actually uses his own flying hours to buy me tickets to go visit them in Texas. He's a neat guy, he and a friend came last summer to put up a railing on my late DH's cement ramp SIL had put in, just because I mentioned that I'd slipped and fallen once off the ramp. Of course I'm smug, I have the best SIL around, my daughter was smart enough to marry him.
