I'm a mom of three adult children. My 27-year old middle child is the first of my brood to get married, so I'm sailing in unchartered waters. I want to do my best to be a great mother and mother-in-law (like my mother-in-law before me) but I feel as though I'm failing in the future mother-in-law department. :-( Any suggestions from future daughters-in-law would be much appreciated!
