"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."

I really like how many positive things were put on the replies. Reading this uplifted me! Thanks all for adding to this subject. I believe it does help to do the things listed above, whether we like the other person or not. I know sometimes I have almost bitten my tongue off ( LOL ) but, in the long run, I raised my children and they are adults now. I would rather do what is necessary to remain a part of their lives and yes, the acknowledgements, etc. go a long way for anyone! cdb

yanno, I believe this is a very good exercise to put in place...it helps us be more in tune with the postive, and we learn how to look for goodness rather then identify the negative...to actually identify when we have good times and absorb them, which will make them all the more special....

many thanks to everyone for this thread....

We often create our own happiness:

"It's raining! My Day is ruined!" Or "It's raining! My garden is getting a drink!"

Same day...different perspective. One takes us down...the other takes us up.

Wow, CDB, that's great! Thanks for sharing your success story. I know it's hard to take those steps back, but it worked!
