I'm here to reposition mothers-in-law because I feel mothers-in-law get a really bad rap.

We all think of...

what's he called frank not um frank spencer no les dawson les dawson les dawson with his mother-in-law jokes and that pervades to this day people it's an easy target the mother-in-law joke and i don't get me wrong i realize that you know some people do have tricky relationships with their in-laws i've just been very lucky i get on very well with all my in-law children and actually i get on really well with all the in-law parents as well which is a joy

Yeah, that's like bringing new people into your family.

Exactly.

It's such a lovely thing.

Exactly.

If you like them, that's even better.

It's even better.

Exactly, exactly.

I'm not saying that we all live in each other's pockets, but, you know, we have a shared human being in common.

And it's just better if you get on.

And this would have been, I suppose, you know, many generations ago, we would have been very close in terms of you live on this street.

I live on the street, this road.

And it would have been so easy to pop in and out of each other's lives.

And I'll scoop all the kids up today from school or I'll do.

You know, it's much harder for people now, isn't it, in terms of geography, because people get scattered all over the place.

And I do think if you're physically close to somebody, then being a mother-in-law can be such a helpful role to play.

I'll pop in for an hour if you need to go get your hair done.

I've got two hours.
