Living with ...I think you have an amazing attitude! Living with parents/in-laws is the norm in Bolivia, so this may very well be in my future. And I have to admit, it's not something I look forward to. I get along with my boyfriend's mom fine, but I'm also a really independent, stubborn person :)<br /><br />I admire you for just embracing the situation and handling it the best you can. I'm sure it'll pay off as this set-up becomes more natural and second nature.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304599248877881631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377597847115472379.post-38333508244316296242010-07-28T00:32:15.447-05:002010-07-28T00:32:15.447-05:00God will Bless You for being so kind to take in yo...God will Bless You for being so kind to take in your mil.Debbie's L'Brihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07339800133876611955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377597847115472379.post-45272511877560151902010-07-27T21:45:13.670-05:002010-07-27T21:45:13.670-05:00Wow, this brings back memories!

I can completely relate to what you are saying, although I have yet to go through it. You gave some really good advice though - even some advice that works for friendships and marriage! LOL. As usual, I just love your posts. :)<br /><br />Visiting from #31DBBB and #tag31DBBB, so now you're it!

With age seems to come a permission to give opinions on everything for a MIL, and it is really hard to take sometimes, especially when you are trying your best. <br /><br />From what I've read, you are someone that can handle this better than most. Good luck :-)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352553119028283502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377597847115472379.post-5647797940567483592010-07-27T19:45:25.716-05:002010-07-27T19:45:25.716-05:00I've been there a time or two, and it is TOUGH...I've been there a time or two, and it is TOUGH. It takes a lot of give and sacrifice on both ends. It's not something that everyone can do. It helps a lot if the two queens like each other, huh? :) Best of luck to you in keeping the balance. You are absolutely cut out for it. Sainthood is coming your way!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14888242466359929076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377597847115472379.post-5565648612529377202010-07-27T18:53:02.186-05:002010-07-27T18:53:02.186-05:00I can't even imagine having to share my kingdo...I can't even imagine having to share my kingdom with the older queen..I get the willies just thinking about it.The Ninjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428180388263305127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377597847115472379.post-72899051996075767882010-07-27T18:26:31.191-05:002010-07-27T18:26:31.191-05:00Oh, I have a ton of sympathy for you!

Sounds like you both have handled it well, though.<br /><br />On a side note, I'm just glad I don't have to worry about that anymore since my MIL now has a boyfriend and that means waaaay less of a chance that she'll move in with us after her dad passes. =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146701200009744595noreply@blogger.com
