thankyou Luise , I understand that she might view me this way .
However when I back off  and try not to be overbearing , she accuses me of not caring enough .
It's hard trying to get the right balance .
One thing for sure she knows I love my GD and have her well being close to my heart .
Surely that's not a punishable offence ? ...oh dear , and on it goes .

What was the breakthrough for you and your MIL ?

What she accuses you of and who you really are may not be remotely related! I say, go with your heart...and let the immature comments be just what they are.

I need to add on Valentine's Day - this is one of those days I yearn for your clotted-cream scones!  ;)
