But, when I married my husband, he carefully and lovingly told me, "I will always love you, but my love for my mom will never change. There will be times when you might not understand the bond between us, but it's very very tight." He is indeed very close to his mom, and I've given him space for that. (don't worry - it's not weird or anything!) And I think it's very nice, because doesn't the saying go, you can tell what kind of a husband a man will be by watching how he treats his mother? I'm sure you'll have the same bond with Graham.<BR/><BR/>Good luck on your MIL's health improving.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039056206420438194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-17592475398078477812008-04-10T14:40:00.000-04:002008-04-10T14:40:00.000-04:00Bat-shit crazy.He he.Bat-shit crazy.<BR/><BR/>He he.Sasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697836741843809088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-38047441026283215992008-01-25T15:26:00.000-05:002008-01-25T15:26:00.000-05:00As a mom of 3 boys I think of this often.

She is a bit unbalanced and whatever else, but it really has nothing to do with me or who I am. I choose to accept her and love her because she is his mother." I work very hard to maintain a loving and peaceful relationship between her and our family. My husband has to work at it to, because she can be extremely difficult, but she loves us and we love her. <BR/>I often remind my dh that the way he treats her is the way our boys will treat me someday, so let's get it right.<BR/>I think it may be just as much work to create a wonderful relationship with my future daughter in laws, but so worth it!<BR/>I just pray that they love my sons with their whole hearts and will treat them with love and respect. Then it will be so much easier for me:)Mighty Morphin' Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03244716672872427829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-7350772311970054032008-01-24T21:42:00.000-05:002008-01-24T21:42:00.000-05:00What a beautiful tribute!!

I am also blessed to have a wonderful mother-in-law, who also lives five minutes away. <BR/><BR/>And I always make a point of mentioning it to my boys when my husband calls his mother and invites her to lunch. "See? Isn't that nice? Daddy is taking his mother out for lunch tomorrow." :-)Llama Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354122767693691797noreply@blogger.com
