You know Diana, I have heard of a lot of people that think like your mil. The sons get the dad's stuff and the daughters get the mom's stuff. It leaves out the in-laws all the way around! Mike is an only child, so when his parents were gone we didn't have to share with anybody. But in their will they left half to Mike and the other half to be divided between our boys. Now that was fine with me because that's what we would have done anyway. BUT if Mike had died before they did, I would have been completely left out..and they knew this. We got along ok and they depended on ME for EVERYTHING, and I took very, very good care of them both.

I will NEVER treat my son's wives like an "in-law". They are my girls and they always will be.

Did you say anything to her about the quilt? Grrr...
