Anyone Else Loving MIL

My MIL was on my nerves SO bad before I had LO.  Now she is amazing!!!  She helps out all the time and is so handy.  I don't know why she couldn't have been so sweet before!  Actually, I think one baby just replaced the other so now its been heaven.  I guess its a lot different when one baby is 30 and the other is 7 weeks old!  Am I the only one that feels this way?

    I wish. Mine is the exact opposite of helpful. In fact, I think it's fair to call her a hindrance.

    Yeah not so much. Mine was horrible before and sucks just as much now. The week I had my C-section she came up for 3 days to help and her idea of help was watching politics on full blast all day, asking me to get her this and that from the kitchen, held my son once for less then 5 minutes before telling her son to pick the baby up and criticizing everything I did. I wish wish wish I had better inlaws but with that said..my parents have been amazing.

    My MIL is awesome.  She works at a hospital and can order diapers at wholesale prices.  She has been supplying us since my son was born 2 years ago and won't let us pay her for them.  She also comes over with pizza or takes us out to dinner every Tuesday, and usually comes baring gifts of new clothes or toys for the boys.  She doesn't tell me how to do anything (even though she's a nurse and knows a thing or two) and never criticizes my messy house, she just holds the baby and plays with my toddler.  When my boss told me I could start working from home if I got a mac, she helped us buy it.  Her MIL was one of the overbearing types, and having dealt with that, she makes a point to not act that way.  I'm very lucky!

    My MIL is great!  Most of the time anyway.  She takes DD1 during the day whever I need her to which has been so nice if I'm having a bad day or need to go to appointments.  She can get on my nerves with her advice (especially since this is kid #2) but she means well and is just trying to help.

    I gotta say, I think my MIL had a not so great experience either and has made our experience better.  My mom is not actually my birth mom and was never able to have a biological child, so things like poo questions get handled by MIL.  Thank God for her and her random knowledge about infant poo!
