I love my inlaws. Im so grateful for them.
-
No. No. NO.

We've had our share of bumps. But I love them and we're in a good place.

I liked my inlaws when DH and I were dating but things totally changed when we got married. I just don't respect them - they're pretty selfish and childish. I have nothing in common with MIL and she's really selfish - she's gone 6 months or more without seeing LO, she expects the everything to revolve around her and I think she resents that I'm DH's top priority now. She's always had a oddly competitive relationship with her own daughter and it's carried over to me. FIL tries much harder and comes to visit more often (to help DH with projects around the house) so I appreciate him a lot but he totally enables my MILs behavior. They don't have a typical parent-child relationship with DH...it's more like friends...which is weird to me. Fortunately DH agrees that it's not healthy and that our job as parents is to be our kids' parents not necessarily their friends

Me and the MIL had a lot of drama because of our wedding. We've 'resolved' things for now, but I wonder what will happen when we have kids. Everyone knows about our IF so I guess I could say we got a lot of time to mend things.
-
MIL and I are cordial but to day we dont get a long is an understatement. SFIL and FIL I am good with
-
I'm very grateful for my ILs. I hit the IL jackpot, and I know it. They are my family, our family, not just his family.
-
yes, but their first language is different than mine so it is hard to communicate which does not allow for in depth conversation so I typically feel awkward when hanging out with them.
-
DH's dad passed away when he was a kid so it's just him, his mom and his brother. When I first met his mom, I thought she was stand-offish and not very interested in getting to know me, but I learned that she is just really shy. We don't have a ton in common but she has been really kind to me and enthusiastic about our wedding and when we were pregnant. She can sometimes be overbearing with DH but as long it isn't projected onto me or any children we have, it doesn't bother me too much.
-
Generally yes, I like them. Fil I have some issues with but nothing major. Mil I really like a lot, though she can drive me a little nuts if we spend more than a day or two together. They live on the other side if the country though, so we don't see them very often.
-
@lovehoneybee: that's how I feel about my MIL.
I love seeing happy IL stories. I feel so lucky to have married into a great family.
-
@lovehoneybee: @Leialou: My Mom says the same thing. Always says she hit the jackpot with ILs
-
I love love love his whole family, but especially my MIL. I got ridiculously lucky. My side is where most of the trouble lies =P
-
I like my inlaws, they are good, generous, decent people. However, I do not love spending tons of time with them. I am just too into doing things my way (when it concerns the LOs). That said, we are about to go visit them for 10 days. Ack!
-
I don't know my in laws very well. My FIL reminds me a lot of own family so he's fun to hang around. The jury is still out on my MIL.
-
My inlaws were just here for 2 weeks. We were all sad to see them go, but we had a great time.
We also have a language barrier, but I've learned enough of their language to communicate. I think that is really important in our situation, especially because we're also teaching our son to be fluent.
-
Meh. I like some of them...
I love seeing happy IL stories. I feel so lucky to have married into a great family.
