We always see shows about mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws not getting along and I guess it's because mothers think that no woman is good enough for their sons or something. I really lucked out- my mother-in-law is the best. I too, have a child from another relationship ( and he is an older child ) and she treats him as loving as her biological grandson. She tells ppl that she loves me like a daughter. She never is meddling. She is an example of what a mother-in-law should be. I think that she knows that I love her son, and truly have his best interest at heart. I wish everyone could have such a positive experience.
Why would any mother try to make her son's life more difficult? I'm lucky - my daughter-in-law had the necessary basics: a good moral character and good intentions. Every thing past that is just frosting.
Her family ever says I "spoil" her. My son even tells me that I don't have to agree with her all the time - she's really catholic and isn't going to leave him!
