[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 90585, member: 1514"] There is a wonderful word in the dictionary just for such occasions such as this: NO! If it isnt convenient for you to drop everything and run to do something for your daughter, no matter how much you adore her, just tell her "Oh sorry honey, I wish I could but Im in the middle of something and I cant right now." End of story. She will survive. Dont bust your behind to do for her. Do only what you can do that wont take anything away from your family. She is grown now. You dont have to compete with her in laws. She will still love you even if she loves them. There is an old saying about how your heart always makes room for more people to love or something like that. Be glad your in laws love your daughter, it could be horrible if they made her feel unwelcome in their home. Just let things settle down for awhile and it will all work out. You are not forgotten but you dealing with a girl who is newly married. Give her time to get used to that role. [/QUOTE]
