[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 300347, member: 1514"] Ahhh...sigh. My daughter in law and I could well be in this same situation but I dont think we will ever let it get that far. I am a big enough person to cave first and just give in. Everyone else in the family knows she is nuts. She also wants her kids to have a grandmother and even if her mom was still alive, I got along great with her mom so that wouldnt have been a problem. Maybe you should try to make friends with your daughter in law's family and just bypass daughter in law. At this point daughter in law is convinced that you are looking for any and all problems possible with George and that you are going to invent ones. You have to convince her that this is untrue. This may mean remarking often and loudly to your son in her presence how remarkable George is at some specific milestones. Say...oh wow...he is talking so well or he is kicking a ball so early isnt he? Something that she can hang on. As far as getting over it, you just have to do it. Dont get so caught up into your sons relationship. I have made that mistake several times and it only gets me upset and stressed out. By the time I get myself all riled up, they are usually back to being all lovey dovey again and I am left all mad...lol. Now I just let it go in one ear and out the other. [/QUOTE]
