Um, as a mother-in-law can I just say that my daughter-in-law has been lovely but is now a little difficult. My eldest son upped sticks from Surrey and went to live with her and her parents on a farm that they all bought in Wales. I hardly ever heard from him as her family sort of took him over. Now my DIL has decided shes a bit fed up with being married and my son has had to leave and find a flat and is severely upset and without the security of the home he thought he was paying towards.I have not condemned and have tried not to take sides as I had a difficult ex MIL (who since I divorced her son thinks I am the best thing since sliced bread!)

So although I know you lovely girlies are no trouble at all please spare a thought for us MILs

Unfortunately my other DIL who was a total angel died last year and I miss her dreadfully.
