My mother in law has been a God-send recently. My wife is on bedrest due to pregnancy complications, has been since week 9 (she's 16 weeks now). She can walk around and do little things, but no lifting or walking up stairs. Our 2 year old son's room is upstairs, so my wife can't carry him upstairs or even go up there with him to put him down for naps, get him up from naps, get him to bed for the night, or wake him up in the morning. She can't lift him into his high-chair, although she did figure out a way to get him in that is pretty nifty. It involves climbing a chair, stepping into the high chair, then climbing out onto moms bent leg. She can't take him for walks in the stroller, but she can let him play outside while she watches.
My mother in law has been helping out a ton. She comes over to put him down for naps, takes him to daycare, watches him when we need a break, and loves every minute of it! My son will grow up loving his grandma, there is no doubt. She seems to have unlimited patience...she was a teacher though. She retired this year, which worked out well given the current situation.
My mother in law and I didn't originally get along. I was the "bad boy" type and her daughter was/is the good little Christian girl. I tried to be polite and such whenever I was around her, but she wasn't giving. After about 9 months of dating her where daughter, I just let go and was myself. Started giving her a little sh*t every now and then, making fun of her for being a teacher (rival school from where I went, I got her a shirt that says "worlds goodest teecher) and so on. She ate it up, loved it. Ever since we have gotten along very well.
