Yes, I think they are good to DH!
-
@Andrea: My parents save the crazy for ME!
-
@autumnlove: yes, exactly. I feel like we are sisters!
-
My dad is, and my mom is not. My dad loooves DH, and is always willing to help us out with advice or invite us to come visit. My mom just isn't that nice of a person, and is very overbearing and not very nice to DH
-
very much so! they absolutely adore dh and are really good at being supportive but not overbearing.
-
My mom is a dream mother in law. She cooks, cleans, does laundry, watches/watched all my nieces and nephews and is doing night wakings -still- with my 15 month nephew!!!
-
I think my parents are awesome ILs. My mom picked up DD from daycare on SATURDAY (I had to go into the office and DH had an event) brought her back to her place so DH and I could go out on a date. Fed her dinner and brought her back to our place to put her to bed. She then cleaned our house for 2 hours while DH and I were still out and DD slept. DH says she's a saint all the time.
-
I think so! The consider my husband a son, and my brothers wife a daughter.
My husband & SIL consider them like parents!
-
My mom is so awesome, and she is to DH as well. She had two girls so DH is her shot at a son lol she buys him so much stuff for holidays/birthdays and just thinks that he is so handy and always compliments him on his projects. She brings DH little snacks to work and cooks him breakfast sometimes and brings it to work haha
My dad is a grump but he'd do anything for DH.
-
Yes I think so! They treat him like he's been a part of the family forever, and I like that!
-
Yes, I think so. They were awful as "significant other" parents but once my brother and I got married (to our respective spouses, not each other) the dynamic of the relationships changed completely.
-
I think so. They treat him like they treat their own kids. He would rather spend time with my family then his own. IL's don't treat me the same as they do DH.
-
My parents are GREAT in-laws to DH! They leave us alone...They let us do what we want, they abide my our rules when it comes to DD, etc. It's all good!
-
My mom adores DH. I think she might love him more than me! She would be a nightmare to my bro's future wife though!
-
For the most part. My dad is cool, but my mom tends to be a little pushy.
-
I think so. My mom can be kind of crazy, but she usually saves all the crazy for me. They love my husband though.
-
My parents mean well, but they can be really overbearing and a little self-absorbed. They sort of assume that everyone else shares their views and preferences about everything, which is definitely not always true!
-
Yes, they love him!
-
My dad is. He always askes about DH.
My mom likes to brag about him and is friendly when we are all around each other, but I don't think it's genuine.
-
Um, no. Not at all.
I come from an extravert, morally ambiguous, materialistic, female dominated family who also have a wicked, sharp sense of humor. The kind of humor that can be deliciously evil but sometimes is just mean spirited. I love them but when I was seeking a life partner I went for the opposite. DH is quiet, kind, stable, with a strong sense of integrity. So, add that to the fact that son-in-laws are generally dismissed in my family and I wouldn't call it ideal for my husband. They don't bother him, they mostly just ignore him outside of perfunctory gifts on holidays, which bothers me more than him. -
My parents are really great to DH. They are very respectful during holidays when we have to juggle where to be, and they try really hard not to put any pressure on us. DH gets along with my parents very well.
-
Yes! My parents adore my husband and treat him like their bio son. I love it.
-
I think so...maybe a tad overbearing IMO.
-
@autumnlove: lol, me too!
My parents are....wild...but, they don't bombard DH with it (only meee). They are very good in-laws! And my in-laws are very good too.My mom might be different with my brother, because he is a momma's boy. But, he is also 14, so hmm...she's got awhile to comes to terms with his marriage.
-
My parents are great inlaws to my DH and SIL. My inlaws aren't all that great to me, but it's been widely discussed on here as to why.
-
My parents are very generous and sweet with DH, but he is convinced that they hate him. It's the cause of a good amount of tension in our relationship. It's a bit of a cultural thing, as DH is from South America and has a large, loud, friendly family. My parents are very sweet and loving, but very quiet. So because DH isn't bombarded with a giant hug and a "HEY HOW ARE YOU I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN SO LONG HERE HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT YOU LOOK LIKE YOU ARE STARVING" every time he walks in the door he thinks it is because they resent having him as a son-in-law. Not true!! My parents aren't like that with me, either! We are just not warm fuzzy people is all. Que dios nos ayude, haha.
-
Yes. My parents are super generous with my husband and treat him like he is their own child.
My mom does criticize my SIL a lot (not to her face, but to me) so I wonder if she does the same thing about my husband to other people... -
Yep! My ILs are great too. We've been together since we were 15, and our parents are friends.. it's literally one big family now. It's great!
-
Yep! My parents are so good to dh!
