This may sound an escapist attitude but it is the only one that sustains us.Feels nice to fight over the newspaper doesn't it/ My children would tear the paper into two rather than give it up to the other person.i had a tough time settling their quarrels.<br /><br />poornima;Welcome here.Thanks a million for those kind words.I may sound good but no one is perfect.Neither MIL nor DIL.A relationship succeeds when one understands this and is willing to accomodate the other in their lives.

Now I see that newly married and not so newly married girls can also be counted upon to present me in a favorable light. I am indeed flattered.<br /><br />Sujatha:Welcome here.Now you've got me worried.I have to work towards shortening my lengthy posts to ensure your readership and that would be challeging.Why not meet midway?<br /><br />Sraboney,Artnavy:When Usha said it and Dipali seconded it I was wary since they belong to the MIL club.But with the two of you endorsing it I feel puffed up.<br /><br />Ugich:Bahu version 1.2?? do you have the software.Pass it on please (:-))!!<br /><br />preeti's chronicle:my daughter says that with my hands on my hips I look like 'Jhansi ki Rani'. My, my what a compliment!!Good to hear you approve of the posture.I can breathe easy and concentrate on other areas that need to be rectified.<br /><br />Renu: Unfortunately what you say is right in a good many cases.A MIL is looked upon as an intruder with a certain amount of suspicion.But with financial independance things are improving.<br /><br />sumana:glad you could have a good laugh.when a lot of effort is put into one's role as mother why not prepare for one's days as MIL. BTW I am a MIL to two fine young men.
