Mother-in-law Prayer

I saw a great Mother-in-Law's Prayer on Dear Abby from a woman approaching mother-in-law status:

"O, Lord, help me to be glad when my son (or daughter) picks a mate.  If he brings home a girl with two heads, let me love both of them equally.  And when my son says, "Mom, I want to get married." Forbid that I should blurt out, "How far along is she?"  And please, Lord, help me to get through the wedding preparations without a squabble with the 'other side.' And drive from my mind the belief that had my child waited a while he or she could have done better.  Dear Lord, remind me daily that when I become a grandmother, my children don't want advice on how to raise their children any more than I did when I was raising mine.  If you will help me to do these things, perhaps my children will find me a joy to be around, and maybe I won't have to write a 'Dear Abby' letter complaining about my children neglecting me.  Amen.
