The first time I stopped biting my tongue was during our wedding planning, when she questioned absolutally everything. The last time was five years ago and I will now no longer have anything to do with her.

My eldest children are in their late 20s and have yet to have been in a serious relationship. I'm not sure what sort of MIL I would be, I hope I would be able to get the balance right.
