do you get along with them or is there a battle between you? is there the uncomfortable silence or hateful attitudes? can you stand them or are you close friends? why?

Well I think every one goes along very well with their in-laws,I mean every daughter-in-law,but it is them who never want to go along with us.I do not know In my case I have put a lot of effort to be nice and kind with them,even I was but now when they do not care about me why would I.I do not like the things that they says to me.Cause I am kinda sensitive person,I gets hurt very quickly,and take everything personally.But they always says something which hurts me and which makes me cry.They treat me as I have no respect at all,I sometimes thinks what if same thing will happen with their daughter.They would not be able to bear it.Right?? Well I seriously wanted to get along well with them but they do not want to.They do not treat me well and I do not feel comfortable visiting them,So I don't go there any more ,I just call them once in a month and that's about it.I don't want to mess up my head,just because the things they are going to say me.So i stays away from them..And thanks God My hubby is with me.He knows his parents are wrong not me,Cause I never did anything wrong to them.

I get along great with my father in law. My mother in law and I get along, but we have very different views on life in general. I try to be respectful of her and never start any confrontations when we are together. I think that we agree to disagree.

I grew up with my husbands sister so i have known his family all my life and love them dearly- however that was great in the begining but his mom can be a bit annoying (she is older now and bitter because his dad passed 3 years ago) and she says things without thinking, sometimes very hurtful. She is also a neat freak- and when she comes over complains that we haven't vaccumed or dusted- I always say- the dust will be there when I am ready to get to it- life is too short - if I have something better to do - it alwasy takes priority. There is something new she started doing - we bought their house and gave her a key in case of emergency- now when she comes over if the door is locked she just lets herself in- without calling or knocking. Otherwise she can be very sweet and i try not to complain to my husband because it is his mother and I wouldn't appreciate him doing that to me- so to keep the peace i try to be calm about things like that and just tell him how i feel so he is aware of what is going on without my getting mad at it.
