I Hear It's Really Warming In NYC Tomorrow

: ) Anytime Dane. It would be an honor to have you use that terminology.

West,
If you don't mind I would like to barrow that phrase. It's just so positive!
At work I deal often with "bonus children" and their "bonus parent."

Ah - nice! Maybe I will use that for my daughter-in-law...

Don't know why it wouldn't work that way, as well.
With that in mind and since my Mom is no longer with us, maybe my mother-in-law can be my bonus Mom. I'll check with her. :apple:

Whereas I feel comfortable with the flattering "bonus" terminology for my daughter-in-law, I can't say the same for my mother-in-law. You are lucky, Joe...

: )) I could certainly refer to my present mother in law as my "bonus mom". She reminds me a great deal of my mother who passed away 10 years ago.

: )) I could certainly refer to my present mother in law as my "bonus mom". My X-mother in law...?...well we have a pet name for her....."The Demon Possessed Pig B From Hell". Nothing personal. Sorry your eyes had to read that Dane, but you have no idea.

How do you really feel, Jim? :triumphant:

Don't think twice about it. When it comes to what I've heard regarding mother-in-laws, ex-mother-in-laws, and ex-spouses your remark doesn't even make the top 40.

This is why I have stayed married - one mother-in-law is enough, I don't need any more.
