DH is a joker who takes it too far, sometimes (make that all the time). My mum is sensitive and easily offended - but plays along trying to be a "good sport". They tread on eggshells around each other for a few weeks, then they start getting along - so DH starts making comments and "jokes", which my mum appears to enjoy... so he turns it up a notch, then some more.....then my mum gets upset and offended (but DH refuses to apologise). They ignore each other for a few weeks (all the time, my mum is whining to me "why does he hate me so much" etc). Then it all blows over....and they go back to treading on eggshells around each other.... An example - about a year ago, on my mum's birthday, they were bickering (in a jokey way) at the dinner table and DH told my mum he was going to put her in a home. Everyone laughed. She retorted, humorously, that she was coming to live with us when she is old.... so he turned it up a notch and said he would dig her a pit in the garden and he'd throw her table scraps. By this point, I could see she was starting to get upset but she kept calm and told him to watch it.....! Then he said that he has already booked her a one way ticket to Switzerland - to Dignitas! Well, that was it! She got really upset! Not good! They didn't speak for 5 months!

DH and my family have zero in common, and my parents take that as some sort of character flaw. Meh, we deal with it though! Luckily my inlaws are the best! aprk on "Does your DH get along with your family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-dh-get-along-with-your-family#post-804549 Thu, 23 May 2013 16:14:53 +0000 aprk 804549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think they like him more than me :) MediaNaranja on "Does your DH get along with your family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-dh-get-along-with-your-family#post-804544 Thu, 23 May 2013 16:14:05 +0000 MediaNaranja 804544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My DH is convinced my dad hates him (he doesn't), but my dad is kind of an awkward guy. Everyone likes him, but if I had to describe it I'd say they're more uncomfortable around each other? English is not DH's first language, so there is a bit of a communications barrier which makes everything awkward.

Some of them he isn't fond of. But I'm not fond of them either lilteacherbee on "Does your DH get along with your family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-dh-get-along-with-your-family#post-804327 Thu, 23 May 2013 15:38:50 +0000 lilteacherbee 804327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, but it wasn't always that way. We started dating as teenagers and when my mom found out we had sex (at 17), it was not pretty.

My dad greets him nicer than me (if at all!) when we walk in the house... cascademom on "Does your DH get along with your family?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-dh-get-along-with-your-family#post-804313 Thu, 23 May 2013 15:36:08 +0000 cascademom 804313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He gets along pretty well with my parents and rest of family. I've been venting to my mom for awhile now as we've had some tough times, so she's not too fond of him at the moment. On the opposite side, I get along pretty well with my inlaws. I don't get along with my MIL. It's been pretty well documented here as to why.
