"Welcome to WiseWomenUnite.com -- When adult children marry and leave home, life can sometimes get more complex instead of simpler.  Being a mother-in-law or daughter-in-law can be tough.  How do we extend love and support to our mothers-in-law, adult children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and grandchildren without interfering?  What do we do when there are communication problems?  How can we ask for help when we need it without being a burden?  And how do our family members feel about these issues?  We invite you to join our free forum, read some posts... and when you're ready...share your challenges and wisdom."

Welcome, Womenrule! I take it you're a DIL who really wants to maintain a good relationship with your ILs. It's great to have you here.
Respect ... is appreciation of the separateness of the other person, of the ways in which he or she is unique.

Thank you so much! I do maintain a healthy relationship with my in laws. We've had our challenges but what family doesn't at some point. I've set boundaries with my in laws but I'm also flexible for the sake of family connections. I do the same with my own family! Plus...I respect their boundaries too. It's a continual process but I feel it's worth it! Again, thank you for the welcome!!! I'm very pleased to have found this forum! XO
