How do you get along with her daughters and the grandkids? I think if you want to further your relationship with her you need to try to get more involved with her family.Does she ever include you in outings and visits with them?Or do you ever suggest getting together with them. There's nothing stronger than the bond between a mom and her kids and although I don't have any yet I can only imagine the bond with grandkids...
Do you have kids yourself> And if so how does she and your kids get along?
