Reminders!
I thought with all the new members we should go through some basic reminders of the few thing's we do expect from our fellow DILS. As many of you know we really don't have "RULE'S" so to say, just some things we want all DILS to remember when posting.
1.) We are all here for one main reason we have in common.. Terrors for IL'S!
2.) When you post something and ask for advice remember you may not always like what you read in response. We have A lot of sister DILS willing to help but they'r going to give their advice and how they would want to handle you'r situation. We are all different and handle things differently. Thats why we're here right? Because what we have already tried hasn't worked, so we're looking for new idea's?
3.) We have some that will give soft hearted advice and some that will give tough love. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. BUT that doesn't mean you have to take everyone's opinion. Find the advice that you feel will work best for you and your situation.
4.) Lets remember there is a difference between tough love and just out and out being mean..
5.) I'm not sure about any of you but I myself am not a English major. Spelling mistakes get made on a regular basis. If you saw some of the ones I have caught you would be surprised! When our sister DIL's are typing their post they are filed with a ton emotion and a lot of time's I can almost see the tear filled spots on the page. Your mind is moving faster then your fingers and you just want to know what to do next and that your not alone in this struggle between, IL's, and Momma Boys, and DH who just don't know how to say NO or stick up for you. Give them the respect not to point out every little spelling or grammar mistake. It's going to happen!
Being that we are no longer approving comments I ask for help from all of you to watch out that our sisters are being treated respectfully and as you yourself would want to be treated. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact us threw the contact link at the top of the page or you can email me at robin@dilsociety.com.
Thank You all of you for helping us make this community such an awesome place!!

Awesome Oppossum
This really is such an awesome site… I cried tears of joy when I found it! Thanks so much
So glad to have a place where I feel like I’m accepted and understood!
I totally agree! I do appreciate that some people like to give “tough love”, but as you said, there is a difference between “tough love” and just being mean. It’s too bad some people seem to simply want to antagonize other DIL’s rather than be here for support. The majority of the DIL’s I’ve seen, however, are so supportive and helpful to one another. :)
Hey, sorry to add this to this post (I know that it is not the right page), but i am having an issue. Whenever I click the link to ‘get some DIL advice’ I am sent to the page with all of the advice requests, but I no longer am able to actually ASK for advice. There is no way to enter my story. I am sure that this is a temporary issue as the site is new and still under construction (could not use the ‘contact us’ link either which is why I am listing here), but I still wanted to let you know. Thanks Robin!
@ Evil DIL…....... I was wondering if you are still having problems with the contact link? If so where does it direct you?
When you are in the advice section of the site, off to the righthand side, there should be a link that says “ask for mil advice”......................Are you seeing that link?
Thank you for understanding that we are still working out some of the final kinks in the site =)
@Evil DIL—yes, I’d love to know how that’s working. You must be logged in to post advice. The “get DIL advice” link in the very top of the site is supposed to go to the main advice page. But once there, on the right side, there’s another link to a form. Do you not see that one?
I’d also love to know more about the contact situation. This is the 2nd time i’ve heard that the form isn’t working, but it works alright during my testing, so let us know what happens when you try to use the contact form. What does it say? Thanks!
I was actually able to post later that day. Sorrry I didn’t answer sooner, I have been out of town. If I have the issue again I will make note of exactly what happens and leave a detailed note. Thanks ladies!
