It sounds like you have developed the kind of relationship with your MIL that I was hoping for. My mother always told me how close she was to her MIL and I just assumed I’d have the same. But my MIL likes to play mind games and manipulate people so unfortunately that is just not possible.
But dh’s aunt has been like a MIL to me and I’d go hang out and do girly things with her in a heartbeat. <3
