[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 88996, member: 84"] You don't have to worry about being excluded. If you've already had a get together and daughter has only been married a week, I'd say things are wonderful. Here are some of my own rules for being a good mother in law: 1. Never drop in unannounced. Always call first. 2. Don't ask questions you won't like the answers to. 3. Don't offer advice unless it's asked for, and be very cautious of the advice you give. 4. Don't criticize the relationship. These are my 4 biggies. lol As far as being a mother in law goes, my own mother couldn't follow any one of those rules if her life depended on it. And it drives both me and husband nuts. I happen to have a wonderful mother in law. I'm trying hard to model myself after her and my own grandma. [img]:smile:[/img] You're off to a good start if you get along with sister in law's parents. Relax a bit. Find something YOU have fun doing, and go do it. This is YOUR time to go out and grab life by the tail. Hugs [/QUOTE]
