Sophia Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Dh and I took ds for a wonderful dinner over the weekend to celebrate his turning 17. We got to talking about some of the turns his life will be taking over the next five years. So I asked (WHY?!?) "What kind of mil do you think I'll be?" Ds (looking very serious) "Well, I've been thinking about that" :001_huh: "You're gonna be either really cool :coolgleamA: or really awful." Dh could hardly breathe because he was busy doing :lol::lol:::lol::smilielol5: Wha...? Oh well, he's probably right. :blushing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthiopianFood Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Oh gosh, but wouldn't you rather know BEFORE you meet the girl, so you know what to work on?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 hee hee. My kids think the same about me. They know I *want* to mind my manners and boundaries, but they also know it's gonna kill me. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Don't you love when they tell you what they are really thinking? It's a real ego-booster. We were going to eat at a restaurant and I told my ds2 that I had applied there for a job when I was a teenager, but they didn't hire me. "Why not?", he asked. "Maybe because I was too beautiful to work there," I say. "That's not the reason, Mom," replies ds2. Anywho- if you need lessons on how NOT to be a MIL, I can lend you my MIL.

Chris in VA Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 You'll be great, because you'll vent here whenever something happens, and then you can be sweet to her! That's my plan, at least!:D It's funny--when the boys started turning 18 or so, I began to realize their current girlfriends may be "the girl;" you know, the girl that would one day be my daughter in law! I met dh when I was 17, and I wonder if my mil saw me the first time and had the same feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
