For most people the terms mother-in-law sends a shiver up their spin. The other half of the family… sometimes the ones you really don’t see eye to eye with… sometimes the ones who say I told you so… For me this isn’t the truth, my mother-in-law is outstanding (ok mom don’t feel bad your mothers day post is right around the corner).
Two weeks ago my MIL was in town. It was the best few days my wife and I have had in a while. Why, one might ask it – simple out of the 7 days my MIL was in town my wife and I were able to sneak out 6 nights in a row. It was married with child bliss.
Otherwise its really great for Marc to hang with Granna. Since she’s based in Texas its really nice to have her around for a full week. Sure living in NYC is a little cramped but its a small price to pay for the happiness my wife gets from having her mom in town. Granna gets to take a peak into Marc’s life goes to all the classes gets to do fun events (like seeing Rock of Ages) and having fancy dinners out with Suzanne.
I’m glad our relationship works…. I hear so many horror stories of the dreaded in-laws but in my mind – I couldn’t have asked for better. Event visiting with them is a piece of cake (well more like a pound and half of Texas BBQ).
Sweet. What we wouldn't give for such an opportunity.
Wow you are lucky to have a MIL like her. 🙂
Maybe it's a guy thing. My hubby says he has the best MIL also. I wish I could say that! LOL
My MIL lives about 15 minutes from us. She'll steal the kids every now and then. I'm hoping to utilize her in a couple weeks for my wife's birthday.
Is it a guy thing or what? I can hardly recall any one of my male friends being discontent with their MIL. Not sure if the same is true for female friends.
cute story!! I am not offended!!
Ditto on getting along with the MIL. Just wish she could stay longer when she is here. She gets in from Rome next week and look forward to some nights out with the wife (hoping as always we don't fall asleep in our plates!).
Can I borrow your mother in law?
I am JEALOUS!!!
You're really blessed to have this great relationship!
