[QUOTE="Suz, post: 15404, member: 29"] Janet, I think being a mother in law or grandma is very difficult. Sometimes you just can't win. I think my Mom was the best mother in law/grandma ever born but it took a lot of self-restraint on her part. Her secret?- [b]she waited[/b]. She was always patient and supportive and waited for exdh to warm up to her. She waited until I told her what my decorating colors were going to be before sending a housewarming gift. When Rob moved in she waited until I told her the "theme" of his room and of his baby shower and all that. Bless her heart, Mom learned to wait for just about everything and I'm sure you can imagine how difficult it was for her to wait. But it really paid off in the long run for everyone. She gave with no expectations but just the joy of being able to give- anything else was a bonus. I don't think I could possibly be as gracious as she...but maybe her actions are something we can both learn from? Hugs, Suz [/QUOTE]
