Makes me be glad im single...LOL

TANNER'S MOM replied: Well, I don't like my current FIL, my MIL is ok.

But my ex MIL was awesome. She was the perfect grandma and she was always there when it came to the kids. And she never butted in to our business. I sure do miss her..lol

favre4fan replied: Well I love my new FIL and MIL but they live in Newfoundland!! rolling_smile.gif I love my MIL she is just the sweetest older Scottish lady. We spent a couple weeks with them last year and we got along great and then they went to Florida for our wedding. They will be coming for 2 weeks at Christmas so i can let u know after that!! tongue.gif

Boys r us replied: Actually, I love my MIL and FiL..well I like my MIL. LOL
She's fine, sometimes she gets bossy and so forth, but she's actually wonderful to the boys and our little family! She cuts all of our hair and does highlights on mine for free..which..saves a LOT of money, considering I get my hair highlighted and lowlighted every 6 weeks, which would normally cost me about $150 to get done. She watches the kids all of the time for me when we need a break or want to go out of town alone as a couple. They both take a very active role in the kid's lives and well, I really can't complain except that sometimes she's a little too nosey and upitty for her own good! But nothing I can't live with!

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I love my MIL she's awesome!! happy.gif My FIL is an alcoholic and is always drunk so i usually steer clear of him.. he makes me a little uneasy but otherswise he's fine. wink.gif

5littleladies replied: My MIL is very nice. She's really quiet and doesn't bother me at all. My FIL is a bit on the crazy side (he's the one that bought us the bridge-lol) and he's a know-it-all, but there is nothing really nightmarish about him. My problem is my mother. rolleyes.gif We won't even go there. tongue.gif

~KARA~ replied: I hate my MIL and she dont like me to well eaither. I loved my fil like he was my own dad! but he died last april sad.gif

My2Beauties replied: My soon to be MIL and FIL are both really cool people, they would do anything for us!! Sometimes MIL can be a bit annoying but not bossy or anything she is just dramatic...KWIM??

kimberley replied: after everything i am going through with the ex's mother, Jamie's mom is the rose in a garden of $h*t!! she is kind and generous and has been making me feel very welcome these days. and she would NEVER do anything harmful to the kids and loves my boys as her own grandsons. i guess she is pretty great. thumb.gif

TeagansMom609 replied: I REALLY don't like my MIL. She doesn't keep things she should to herself.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I love my DH's family. His mother is deceased, but when she was alive we got along fine. Of course we had our moments, but I love her nonetheless. MY FIL has a brain injury and really isn't the same person as he used to be, but he is a wonderful man and I love him dearly. We don't see him as often as we would like b/c we are so busy. sad.gif My SIL is a lost soul. I love her, but have trouble forgiving her for things she has done and I don't really have a relationship with her. The rest of the family (aunts, uncles and cousins) we are very close to and I adore *most* of them. thumb.gif

redchief replied: I loved my inlaws... I absolutely loved them. And we both miss them terribly. gr33n3y3z and her mom didn't always see eye to eye, but her mom and I developed a special relationship that I have a hard time explaining... More than a friend. Her dad and I had a great relationship too. It was more of a brotherly than father-SIL relationship.

I trusted them completely with my children and only wish our youngest got to know them better before they passed away. They were both taken from us way too young.

I loved them as I do my own parents. We never fought but had many discussions where everyone felt comfortable giving his/her opinion. That respect never wavered. I miss them dearly, remember them fondly. smile.gif wub.gif

coasterqueen replied: I don't mind my MIL because she lives thousands of miles away and I've seen her less than 5 times in 12 years. tongue.gif As long as we stay that way...her and I are good. Her religion is a bit different and when we do see her she tries to push it down our throats but Dh keeps her in line wink.gif.

My FIL is pretty cool..he doesn't really cross me wrong, we just stay out of each other's way. He has done a lot of great things for me though so I can't complain. My step-MIL.....I despise her but I *tolerate* her for Kylie's sake. I cringe every time she calls herself grandma or when Kylie does but I do it for Dh and Kylie. dry.gif

gr33n3y3z replied: My Inlaws are great .... They are my Mom and Dad now and I love them very much and we are all there for each other and thats the way family should be wink.gif

LovingmyBoriqua replied: Well my FIL & I have meet once he's okay... I dont have a MIL but, I HATE my SIL literally she knows how to tick me off sometimes iwanna slap her because she doesnt know how to keep her mouth shut @@ ....

ediep replied: my MIL is great. She is very loving and extremely generous, especially with her time. My MIl and FIL are divorced and FIl is remarried. We hardly ever see him and he is kind of crazy
