In-Laws
ashtonsmama wrote: Just curious. Because, as you all may have guessed, I LOVE my in-laws! They are pretty much the sweetest people ever! But I know many people don't like their in-laws, and have a pretty bad relationship with them. So I was just wondering how you all felt! Off to bed for me! Talk to you all later!
A&A'smommy replied: very interesting post!!
Our Lil' Family replied: Yep, my inlaws are great too. In fact they are coming in this weekend to help us put up a fence!
luvmykids replied: I didn't vote because I love, love, love FIL's fiance but not him, and DH's stepdad but not MIL! We all get along, but I really adore the two and not so much the others.
Momof3inMe replied: I have never met my In-laws. MIL passed away before I even knew my DH and FIL and DH have not talked in over 10 years. With that said at times I wish I did know them and then I hear about other people who can't stand their In-Laws or have problems with them and think I guess I kinda have it easy.
3xsthefun replied: Well, I have done said this before. I like my MIL, we get along pretty well.
As for my FIL I really do not care for the man.
C&K*s Mommie replied: I love them. Good people overall.
MamaJAM replied: I can't really vote because I need two options. I love FIL - he's a great guy. MIL is a whiney-brat who is more like a child than an adult.
Bee_Kay replied: I voted that I tolerate them because I actually get along with all of my In Laws except I can't stand my MIL. I have written before of the crap she has pulled on me and my dh. The less I see of her, the better.
JP&KJMOM replied: Mine are ok but I am not crazy about them. FIL is kinda obnoxious most of the time and he knows everything about anything. MIL is just nuts but we can have a good time with them as long as none of DH's bros and sisters are there. If they are then it is like a fight for attention or something. MIL gripes ALL THE TIME TOO about something and it makes me nuts! She is extremely judgemental.
Kaitlin'smom replied: LOVE them all well the ones I have met. I really feel lucky to have such wonderful in-laws.
A&A'smommy replied: its hard to say I voted don't really like them but their tolerable.. thats the closest to what I fell for mine. They have helped us out a LOT but then again I don't agree with how she raised her kids and how she has favored one over the other.. ect but yet again I like that she raised them in church and with good beliefs and morals.. its weird I get really aggravated with her...
Kittilicious replied: I would be happy if I would never have to talk to my MIL ever again. Hubby feels the same way... she is a wacked out woman. We do see her at Christmas and occasionally the girls' birthdays and thats 3 times more a year than I'd like to. My girls don't even know who she is and she gets mad when they don't talk to her...
One year she brought over a doll for Krissy's birthday. She was 5 or 6, I think. As she was leaving she rudely said "You're welcome, Krissy"... a hint that Krissy had not said "thank you" (she was shy at that age and didn't talk to "strangers"). Later on Krissy couldn't find her doll and she asked me, "Mom, do you know where my doll is? The one that lady brought me today?". True story....
My FIL, on the other hand, is my #2 Dad. I love him dearly! We don't see nearly as much of him as we'd like to.
MIL & FIL were divorced when DH was in Jr High school.
Celestrina replied: 90% of the time my MIL and I get along. The only time she drives me nuts is when she tries to boss DH around or tells us how we should be raising our son. Right now she is pushing us to potty train Ben. She tells us how all of her kids were potty trained by age 2. We will, when he is good and ready.
ZandersMama replied: mine treat me like dirt. One said at my bridal shower, to one of my cousins that they didnt know why DH would marry me. When I brought my son up to see them a few days after he was born, one said "oh wow he really is yours", to my DH.
Celestrina replied: That's just cruel.
gr33n3y3z replied: Mine are Great!!!!!!
mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I voted yeah they're okay! I do love them and get along with them really well, but I would be lieing if I said they didn't get on my nerves a lot of the time!
My2Beauties replied: My MIL and FIL are nice people, sometimes they do things that make me wonder, but nothing ever against me or anything, they just are cooky I guess. That makes them fun to be around though!
BAC'sMom replied: Well I have talked about this before. I LOVE my FIL he is a wonderful,sweet, caring man. I get along with my SFIL quite well, but can't stand my MIL. There is a reason she lives in East Texas and I live in South Texas.
Cece00 replied: There wasnt an option for me.
I love my FIL/step-MIL, but I can not stand my husband's mother.
luvbug00 replied: LOVE them 98% of the time .. i go out drinking with my MIL and my father in law just cracks me up ( a few screws loose lol! ) but seriously they are great. although i can't say i agree with all of their parenting choises..
ilovemybaby replied: Hate both of them. Wouldn't care less if they moved 1000 miles away. Get the picture?
Heather77 replied: Yeah, they're ok, but I'm not crazy about them....
They come with a lot of drama
My3LilMonkeys replied: Love them!!!! I am closer to them than I am to my own family.
ashtonsmama replied: I thought it might be, looks like a pretty hot topic! It's funny to see what some of you have written... I know some in-laws can be really cruel and just plain catty, but it looks like most of us have had positive experiences...
