I love reading this. I am a bit worried that I wonīt be closed to my sonīs families and daughter in laws, but thatīs based on my own relationship with my MIL that is okay but not that great, but DH is one of a pigeon pair.
Me and DH always get a bit of a feeling that MIL has a preference over her own daughter and those grandchildren (another pigeon pair ofcourse). Not that Iīm jealous of the PP, Iīm glad we donīt have a PP in the end, the ones I know donīt bond as much as same gender siblings.
So dannikins what you wrote really gives me hope!
