I have a really good relationship with my sister in law, she brightens up even a really bad day.She is always there on the other end of the phone, or as of late on the internet playing games on face book with me.It is school holidays here and it will be for another 5 weeks as yet, so instead of seeing each other of a weekend we are planning other days of the week, so that she can be here with me when noone else can, even though my older daughters are here she just wants to be here as extra help bless her, after all she knows that my younger son has adhd and is a bit excitable on a routine day of school.I have 6 children and she has 4, so there will be at least ten children playing together, lets hope nicely.She works as a carer, so i know i am in safe hands, lol.

The last time I was doing child care, I found that the right combination of extra kids made the day easier and more fun. Your sister in law is really sweet, and I hope the kids have a good time as well.

Hi jugs! You're lucky to have her! I only had one sister-in-law because I only have one brother and they already separated years ago. We weren't that close although at first I thought we were going to be. She seemed to be a nice girl at first but as days go by, I felt like I didn't like her. And then we had a misunderstanding and my brother got angry at me, but it was her fault, although I couldn't care less if my brother got angry at me. ^^ They separated anyway because entirely of her. Should have told my brother, I told you! But I didn't say it. My sister is married and I don't think her husband is happy to have as a sister-in-law. I'm not close with him and I don't make any effort to do so and he doesn't make any effort, too so we stay like strangers. But I love their kids.

I am happy that you are having a good relationship with your sister in law. I have a friend that is having a good time with their in laws too. That is a good news as other people do not have that kind of relationship. Mostly the inlaws are the one having misunderstanding when their sibs married the wrong girl or guy. But with you I am glad you are having a good relationship. Maybe she is your soulmate. Soulmate should not be a boyfriend or girlfriend, but a person that you are so close with and mostly understands you and care for you.

It is nice to know that you develop such good relationship with your sister - in - law, not everyone can do that, you might know this fact. Although I don't have any sibling on my side, I would hope that someday my wife can develop a good relationship with my mom at least, that I would be relief and glad. That is something I would pray for in the future.

Its good for you that you and your sister in law have good relationship because not all sister and law have good relationship in the partner if their siblings. Getting together with her and with your kids is also a good idea and good bonding moments. The kids will will be also have a good relationship if they see that their parents is also good to each other..

That is so great and neat that you get along so well with your sister in law, and that you two support each other :) My new sister in law and I, I like her, she is very nice and sweet, but we just are opposite people. We don't really talk, she is extremely quiet and just doesn't really talk to me. I never know what to say to her because I kind of have a quirky personality and with my family, I like to joke around, but her sense of humor is totally different from ours....so when I try to make jokes in family gatherings, everyone else laughs...but she doesn't get it....which makes it even more awkward with her :( So trust me, you are very lucky :P

We are lucky having good relationships with our sister in law. I have two sister in laws and both of them are really easy to get along and fun to be with. Both are very helpful and always there for small talks or when problems arise. Sometimes we are mistaken of like we are really sisters because we are really close.

I'm glad you have such a good relationship with your SIL. The one won't talk much to me unless it's something important as she lives on the other side of the country. The other will talk to you just fine when you see her only hard part is getting caught between a spat of hers with the other SIL or MIL.

Wow, you have 6 kids??? I bet it gets really loud when all 10 kids are together playing. I don't think I could handle it. I'm glad that someone can be there with you when you need it. Have a great week!!!

How very sweet and thoughtful of your sister-in-law! This is great to hear as sometimes people do not get along with their in-laws but shows that you to have a really great relationship. Sounds like she is an overall caring person and yes you do seem to be in safe hands with her.

That's great that you and your sister-in-law have a good relationship with each other because I know some in-laws who don't, but it's mostly the parental in-laws who don't get along with people. Although, there have been exception. My cousin and her sister-in-law do not get along, but then again, if you knew my cousin, it's hard for anyone to get along with her. No one in my family seems to get along with my cousin, but that is because of the kind of person she is. My cousin's sister-in-law is a very sweet and nice person, and she is very helpful. I have friends who have ADHD, and I know how tough it can be. Thing is to keep them busy. People with ADHD always need something to do.

I had answered this once before, yesterday, but I got the sign in page instead of it posting. It sounds like you have a family of helpers, decorators and carers. With these you will be well cared for. You even have a great schedule going. I am impressed with the forethought.

Oh really your family are very big family. Because you have 6 children and your sister in law have 4 children also. So both of you have 10 children. So I think it is a big number of children in family. And as you say you have good relationship with your sister in law then it is very good thing. And I hope your family always be a happy family.

It can be very rare to get along with in-laws. I liked mine a lot. I used to say that I liked them more than my ex. We stayed in touch for a few years but now I never hear from them and vise-versa. In another discussion you said all the things your husband has done to make things easier and safer for you. Being caring must run in the family.
