In-laws

I'm sure a lot of us married people had one point in our lives lived with our in-laws but how many of you lived with your parent-in-law, sister-in-law and husband with their children. I did during the first year of my marriage and believe me it is not a happy situation. During those times, I have come to realize that I hate my sister-in-law and her husband. Why? because they are arrogant, feeling high and almighty and most of all preachers who do not practice what they preach. Don't worry I can validate my emotions towards them. My husband requested me to be involved in their family business at that time in which the couple were investors. At that time, the business was already near bankrupcy and yet these people accused me of stealing money from their company. From there on, I had felt angry, disrespectful and loathe for these people. For the sake of my husband, I tried to get those feeling removed but to no avail. To this day, I still feel angry with these people. Maybe its because to this day these people refuse to admit what they had accused me off and did not have the guts to apologize for what they did and to top it all, they feel that I should be the one to apologize to them, just because they are older than me, in other words I should respect them since they are older. Haha! can you believe the arrogance of these couple. I don't know, maybe I will never forgive them for what they did but as I told my husband I never want to associate myself or my daughter to those hypocrites. Can you believe that such people exist?

[b]Yeah, people like them do exist. In fact there's plenty of them out there. they could be your sister, brother, boyfriend girlfriend, neighbors and even officemates. They are the worst people to be associated with. So, it's better to distance yourself.[/b]

Yeah, my brother and sister are somehow the same but not as bad as this. At least my family knows how to respect and appreciate everything I did for them. The thing is that I would love to see these people get what's coming to them. Yeah, I would very much want to see that.

I also hate my sister in law and her husband also because they are also arrogant. My husband is the one that paying their electricity bill and when my husband don't have enough money to pay their electricity bill they get angry. I hate them because of that because we (my husband and I) don't give our contribution for our electricity bill here at home to my parents just to give them financial support that they need for their bills and they will get angry if we can't give them. They already have kids but my husband is the one that buying the milk for their child and buying vitamins but them, they just buy what they want like new dress, new cellphone. They feel that they don'y have responsibilities.

I lived with my in laws for about 2 and a half years. The first two years were fine. I mean they were okay with me. And I've been with their son for 8 and half years before we got married. When I gave birth and my daughter had problems, we were really financially drained. We owed a lot of people. The in laws bought the 2 houses beside their house and turned it into a compound. So my husband and I and our daughter moved in to one of the houses. We had a nanny for the baby and one helper to do house chores while husband and I worked. This was where my problems began. My mother in law started interfering with how to run our household. And she would do this when I was in the office. Then she started badmouthing me to her friends (and their family was popular in their place). Then she was fighting with my nanny and helper. At first I tried to ignore it but everyday, I was learning to hate her. I just cried to my husband. Then one time, she did something (too sensitive to write about here) that left a very bad taste in our mouths. What she did prompted my husband, their son to move out. I felt relieved when we moved out. We now live with my parents. Living with my parents also has its shares of ups and downs but we are planning to move on our own real soon. We are just pooling the money in.
