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.

My boyfriend's parents are great people.  I hope that nothing will change in the future, because I appreciate everything they do for us and enjoy spending time with them.

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.
