[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 408989, member: 65"] I'm beyond blessed with my parents. They are there anytime, anyplace, and under every circumstance. They support every decision we've ever made with our kids. Occassionally they will ask "Why are you doing xyz?" to understand the purpose behind a decision. My Mom is the best Mom. She understands how important the marriage bond is so when the kids were little, she'd volunteer to take the kids for a night or weekend so that husband and I got alone time. My parents backed us up on every action we had with the kids. When they complained about a chore or a punishment - they were told one of two things: (punishment) You are so lucky to have parents that love you enough to help you become the best you can be. (chore) Quit complaining - it builds character. Be glad they love you that much. It was/is so much different with the in-laws. They did everything in their power to undermind us, to tell the kids we were wrong. Having the two extremes, I would rather of had my in-laws not involved at all then to have their distructive actions. [/QUOTE]
