I've been married 24 years. My wife has never said my mom's name. If she has something to say to her she just waits until she happens to look her way. They're amicable at best. It would take my mom three seconds to disparage my wife if we ever split.

I loved my FIL, but he's gone now. I'm not close with the MIL, but I don't dislike her or anything. She's 6 hours away anyway so it's not like we see her very often.

I could only wish that my future-wife was able to meet my mother before she got Alzheimers. We have been to visit her several times, but obviously my mom does not remember her. It breaks both of our hearts every time. I don't think I could stomach a wedding until my mom passes. The thought of finally tying the knot with her either sequestered or unable to process the moment drives me in to a sadness that I don't want to deal with.

Overall yes. There has been some tense moment over the years but I truly believe they love each other.
I should add her parents and my parents offer and love to take my kids for a Friday night every few weeks. Hard to complain about your in-laws when they're so willing to help.

Two nights away from a newborn sounds bad all around. Almost weird.

They did. Mom’s dead now.
It’s a shame your mom doesn’t want to help. Building a relationship with grandchildren is very rewarding.

My mom always jumped at the opportunity to have the grandkids, but we didn't expect it.
She had swingsets and tetherball and all kinds of stuff in her backyard, but that's her thing. She loved nothing more than having a bunch of grandkids at her house.
ETA - mom isn't gone, but the kids are mostly grown now

My wife and my mom get along great.
My wife doesn’t like being around her parents… it has made things very interesting.

Oldmanbeasley understands that pain. It’s a truly terrible disease.

Yeah, we put ours in daycare because we both work.
I do remember my mom fussing about not having grandkids when we were all in our 20s and married, and she had 5 three years later (7 now). She eats that stuff up though. She wanted to be a grandmother so much.

Not my first rodeo with it, but it hurts so much worse when it's your folks.
On a brighter note, the future-wife resents the shite out of her mom and thinks her dad hung the moon, so I've avoided that pitfall.
ETA: I must add that future MIL is only 10 years my senior, and FIL is the same age as my folks (late 60s/early 70s). Maybe there is a pattern.

Watching your parents decline is rough. I'm going through this now a bit too.

My mom treated my wife like shite for about a year. I told my mom she needed to apologize, she declined and i didn't speak with her for almost 3 years.
Once my dad got diagnosed with dementia, the came back into our lives. She never apologized and my wife just let it go so i could have time with my dad.
My mom is a huge narcissist and it rubs us the wrong way s lot of the time. But at the end of the day she is mom and i love her

Hopefully, for your sake, neither one of them are English teachers .

Man, I’m not trying to be disrespectful but that’s just fricking weird
How does it get to that point??
