	My mother in law told me and my husband when we said we wanted to adopt cause we can't have children that we hadn't tried hard enough and that we if we adopted they wanted nothing to do with it nice eh? We are gutted one because we can't have kids and two that they aren't supporting us Rachx

	good for you - you'd have been a hypocrite to have gone - my father in law was nastier than my mother in law - a bully not just to me but to all his kids as well

He certainly didn't get it from OUR side of the family!" I know lefthandedness was really discouraged but was there any need??? LOL ....and what about odd gifts - one Christmas she gave me a rotary handwhisk, another year it was an ironing board. Neither of which I had felt were missing from my life.

	My MIL was wonderful, never had a bad word to say about anyone bless her. She was even better than my own mum which is hard for me to say. My parents don't consider my sons as being their grandchildren as they won't be carrying on the name. Needless to say I'm no longer in touch with them.
