MIL's.......
I read the one post about the MIL leaving her empty water glass on the table and it got me to thinking about my MIL and my thinking. Since my husband and I married, I have sent my MIL flowers on my husbands birthday, thanking her for the life of her wonderful son. I send them to remind her of a job well done on raising such a wonderful man and how much I cherish her son. I have a wonderful MIL.. she is not the kind to put her nose into your business etc.. she understands her children's life are theirs.. she doesn't take sides just because it is her son/daughter... but who she feels is in the right. I never had the chance to meet my DH's father, as he passed away when my DH was 14. My DH mostly remembers his dads failing health his entire life. BUT he did end up with thee most wonderful step father any human could ever ask for... and oh I miss that man to this day. Life is so short.. lets enjoy their love daily..
So I guess my thoughts are... they raised your spouse... the love of your life... praise them for that. They would not be the man you married without her help.
