My mother in-law (MIL) isn't one of those nightmare MILs you hear all the time from suffering daughter in-laws. Neither is she a super MIL who takes care of everything in your house, including babysitting your kids, if you happen to stay with her. My MIL is just plain nice. She's nice to me, Rianne and even my family..
She buys things on her trips for me, my mom & Rianne; but not for her son - my husband. Hahaha.. I think she regards me as her second daughter as whatever she buys for her daughter (my sister in-law), she buys another of the same for me too. Not only this, she also like to share good things with my family; like when she has good 'lobang' of a cheap, cheap hotel or chalet stay.
KL's brother managed to book a chalet for a few days recently as part of his staff benefits. The first few days were just KL's family and his sister's in-laws. My MIL actually extended the invite to my sister & my mom to come over to stay for 1 night. My sister, her husband & kids came by and we had a BBQ, swimming at the pool and had such a great time!
Just on Saturday, we went for a staycation at the luxurious hotel which my MIL works at. It is also the same hotel where KL went down on his knees and asked for my hand in 2012.
My MIL had the biggest discount for the hotel rooms, and she had booked 2 rooms for a 1 night stay over the weekend. Knowing how my niece and nephews enjoy swimming, my MIL asked me to invite my sister again!
My non-selfish MIL also asked my mom to stay for the night in the room which KL, me, Rianne & my MIL was staying. Seems weird to have so many people sleeping in one room, and especially when 2 of them are our mothers!! But it was all great! We had a good, good time. So did the kids albeit that little accident where KL's 1 year old niece hit her head, else all is good!
I even heard the 2 mothers sharing receipes and exchanging pointers in cooking..
Happy in-laws, happy marriage!!! :)
