I don't have son in laws yet (my oldest is only 17) but with having three daughters and no sons, I am sure our son in law will be spoiled! We already adore their "boyfriends". I plan to always treat my son in laws with respect and not interfere. I want to be a big party of their family, so I plan to be a nice mil!

One of my daughters-in-law despises me...and that's fine. I hate her, too. She's horrible. My other daughter-in-law is such a lovely woman and I love her dearly. I don't have any sons-in-law.

Do we ever really know? I used to believe that I got along with my first DIL, but she has become very distant and makes occasional grumpy sounds. She will not participate in conversations and really behaves as if it is a chore to be near us on the few times we are together. (We live 14 hours away) Having a child made her less in touch with us, so much so that we know absolutely nothing about our grandson. It makes us very sad...
DIL [HASH]2 seems more open to us, and we can chalk up most misunderstandings as cultural mis-communications. At least she helps us clarify missteps. She also sends regular updates on her son, and he is encouraged to skype with us. (They live 24 hours away) that regular communication and pictures make us feel more a part of the family.
I am am beginning to think that treating people equally does not guarantee equal results. I sure wished for smoother sailing as a MIL.

ETA - whoops, hadn't seen the OP edit Me either when I answered  Hmmm, now BILs - both of my BILs like me They are great guys, one is a little harder then the other, but I really like them. One took longer to like, but that is because we are both stubborn. Neither of my dd's are married so I don't have any son in laws yet. But my oldests former boyfriend seemed to really like the family and had a great time the Christmas he spent with us. He has also done things with dd's siblings so that was nice. He is a nice guy. |
