Title: Are you in good terms with your in-laws?
Post by: wrands on December 16, 2012, 10:01:18 am
I don't have a father-in-law but my mother-in-law is such a b****. Apologized for my bad words but she is just a person who always wants to control everyone.  She is coming for Xmas so this will be a horrible last day of 2012 for me. Anyways hope you guys have a merry Xmas.

My in laws pretty much stuck to them selves. they didn't even come to our wedding. even though they lived in the same town as my parents when ever we would make the two and a half hour drive to my parents we would always call and 9 times out of 10 they weren't even home. her family is in north Ga near Tenn. and every time they would go there as they came into ATL. they could have called and asked if we wanted to meet them for a while but they never did. then they got mad at us when we weren't there when my father in law was dying. my husband came back with `were we even called to let us know dad was sick? No you didn't. you waited until he was dead to come in for the funeral.' it was the same way back in August when my mother in law died. she may have been my husbands step mom but he felt she had raised him more then his natural mom. so no i did not have a good relationship with my in laws. ???

My inlaws were good people - but what is important to me now is that I am an inlaw! ::)  Sometimes it is difficult, but I couldn't be happier with my kids choices in marriage.

I've had the best in-laws; my Mother-in-law passed away a couple of years ago and I miss her terribly.  She was such a sweet and gracious lady.  My Father-in-law is still with us and he is tops in my book!  He still drives, does his own shopping, still lives by himself,  and he is 95 years young.  He's an amazing person.  We take lunch to his house every Sunday and our daughters and their families come over there too.  He really enjoys everyone being there, especially his great-grandchildren.  I know he probably doesn't have a lot of years left with us and that makes me sad but I focus on the here and now of enjoying being with him as much as we can.

I get along with them well enough. After hearing some stories my husband tells of growing up I dislike his mother who is a control freak but has a fake persona around other people to give the impressions she is a wonderful person. I talk with her just fine but I can't forgive all the terrible things she did to my husband as a child.

I do not have to worry about my in-laws, because my spouse mother and father died before I meet him.

THANKS to the wonders of Facebook I found a heap of family members.   They've all been really cool with the exception of ONE in New York City.   They share my last name but they sure as heck don't share my sense of family.   They are such a JERK that no other family member wants to deal with them.   This particular family member should change their last name.   >:(

I have been blessed with in-laws.  My mother-in-law has accepted me from day one as I am the woman that has completed her son.  She had never seen him happier before I came along.  That is an amazing compliment.  We get along great and put effort towards having a relationship.  My mother on the other hand is quick to put herself on a pedestal and be blatently rude and disrespectful to anyone that doesn't meet her standards.  She has treated my husband, my sisters husbands and my other sisters girlfriends all with a genuine fake, you can see right through it shroud.

I hate to tell you but even if she is a "B" you can't let her mess up your happy holiday. Drive her nuts by totally ignoring her nasty remarks and returning positive ones to her when she makes nasty ones to you. Do anything she asks you to do with joy. It will drive her nuts! Merry Christmas to you.

I am not technically married yet to my boyfriend but I think i get along really well with his parents- it's been 2 years. I feel he is just warming up to mine too and they are as well. I've spent more time with his parents than he has with mine but I think we all get along well

I got to meet my father-in law before I got married.  He died before my husband and I got married.  He was a sweet man.  I was glad I could do one thing for him before he died.  It seamed very small at the time, but he wrote me a note that I got when we got married.  He thanked my for helping him sit up in bed and hoped the his son and I would have a long life together.  He was very fragile because of his bone cancer. My mother-in law was with us for 9 years before she passed on.  She had her good and bad side, but I wouldn't trade her for anyone else.  I miss them both very much.   :'(

Father-in-law was deceased when we met but got along fine with mother-in-law until she also passed away.

I got along with my first husband's parents even after we were divorced.  My second husband's dad died when he was a kid, but I got along with his mom just fine.  All my mother/father in laws are now deceased.

I'm a mother in law and get along with both of my sons' wives ok, but I wouldn't go so far as to say we are friends.... I tolerate them, and they probably tolerate me.  :)  We get along for the grandkids sake!

I have always gotten along very well with my parents-in-law.  I always feel welcome in their home and my father-in-law and I like to go to basketball games together.  My wife also got along great with my mother, who passed away in 2000.

Never had too much trouble with in-laws basically because I establish a line of respect from both directions early on.

I actually like my in-laws. My husband doesn't get along with his dad at all, so we don't see or speak to them much, but I have no problem with them. MY parents on the other hand, both me and my husband agree, they are nuts!  ::)

When I was married I was.  They were nicer and more intelligent than my own mom.  Our relationship with her was dicey.  My brothr actually passed up getting married so the girl he was interested in wouldn't have to deal with having mom a a mother-in-law.  Makes me sick to think of how much happiness was sacrificed because of her.   :angry7:

My relationship with my in laws is pretty casual cuz I don't really know them that well & don't see them as often.In 1993 My husband's mom moved in with him cuz grandma was on her last stage of life & wanted the family to be together. His Grandma pass & I had just started dating my husband to be. I thought she was okay in the beginning but when I moved in w/them, I started to see the real mother-in law persona. It was scary cuz you could be talking to her & you think wow what a great person but suddenly the next day, she give you a present. When she give you a present that means she was mad at you about something several days before & now she's forgiven you by giving you a present. She never told her son she loved him. She'd tell everyone else but him. She acted more like a jealous older sister than his mother; putting him down at every turn. I'm blown away at how he could have grown up in that kind of torturous environment. Anyone else would've murdered their psycho mother &/or become a criminal/serial killer.Me I would've ended my life to get away from that hell he grew up in. That's why I'm so surprised at how he survived that hell & come out to be the most kindest,giving,caring man I've ever met. So, no I didn't get along w/my mother in law but thanks to this experience I realize my psycho dysfunctional family was actually close to being normal compared to his family! :thumbsup: :wave: :peace:

i used to get along great with my father in law before he passed.  my mother in law on the other hand has never liked me.  her son always did whatever he was told, took any verbal abuse she dished out, never said a word back to her...he met me and ended up learning to stand up for himself and she's never liked me since lol

For the most part, I get along with my inlaws...especially my mother in law.  She is super nice. My hubby's dad past away before we met so I didn't get a chance to know him.

I don't have any in-laws.  But when I did I was lucky, I liked my in-laws, we got along really well because they stayed out of my business.  I cared more for them than I cared for my husband.
