What do you think of your inlaws?

My in-laws are just that, my in-laws. They aren't my best friends in the world nor are they really my worst enemies. They are my husband's parents and I respect them for that fact. However, if you were to chose your spouse based on their parents, then I would not have choosen my husband. The most recent thing that his parents (more specifically his father) did that really rubbed me the wrong way was telling my husband that we should get a divorce because I'm not the best housekeeper in the world.

I have experienced the in laws from hell in a past relationship and I am very thankful that my current in-laws are fine, decent and kind people. My mother in-law sadly passed way last year and she was easier for me to relate to than my own mother. My in-laws live on the other side of the country and my father in-law is coming to visit us in the beginning of the New Year and my eight year old daughter is so excited and she can’t wait! I am sorry that your in-laws have such an attitude towards your husband and your children, unfortunately when you choose your partner you can’t necessarily choose his parents!

I have been divorced for nine years. My ex-in-laws are a couple of my very best friends. They are very active in my daughters life. They are there for me if I need a shoulder to cry on. Anything I need I know I can go to them. They are the best people! I am very sorry that yours are not.

Hi, jugsjugs. Well they are okay as in a whole. But in the past my mother-in-law gave me complete grief!! She tried to make my life a living hell hole! My father-in-law has always been the one to be generous towards me. But, lately his attitude is very funny like. I don't pay it any attention though. I have not seen my in laws since October of last year. But my kids have seen them since then. Just not me. My husband is the youngest of the five kids. He is the baby.. My mother-in-law said that she was going to get my kids gifts for Christmas, but she never gave them anything. She did not call to say Happy Thankgiving to us. Nor did she wished us all a Merry Christmas. She did not call or send her grands any gifts for Christmas. I was very sad because I was sick with the Flu on Christmas Day. They could have at least called despite how they may have felt about me. If I was even the reason why there was no phone call. I just stay my distance from my in laws. I respect them but I don't hang around them like I used to. I would rather to be this way. They all have lost my trust so I like the distance. It is better this way.

I have been blessed with a wonderful mother-in-law and father-in-law. My mother-in-law and I think so much alike and there are times when we start saying the same things at the same time which is very weird! They have always considered me a daughter because they never had any girls in their family. It seems like everytime we get together we laugh a lot and have really nice conversations. I look forward to our conversations because my mom is now in a nursing home and she has dementia so we don't talk much so I am very glad that I can at least talk to my mother-in-law about different things. ramsey39

I don't like my mother and father in-law... my brother in-laws are cool.

Going by the responses before me, most people seem to be going along well with their in-laws and I am no exception either. I stayed for 10yrs with my in-laws and during those years, apart from the regular tiffs that you have within your own family, there was no major issue. On top of that, they took care of my son while I worked. They’ve never interfered in my affairs…only problem was that they ran the entire show and I was like a guest while I stayed there. In any case, I’m indebted to them for a lot many things and I wish every girl has in-laws like them.

I'm really fond of some of my in-laws. I get along really well with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. They're really amazing and I really love them. My father-in-law, on the other hand, is a different story. I'm really not fond of him. He doesn't treat his family very well. And by family I mean his kids and grandchildren.

I'm sorry to hear that. My dad is the black sheep of his family and my father-in-law is also estranged from his family. I'm lucky because my in-laws and my parents have been friends for about 15 years so family gatherings are quite common around here. My parents are 17 miles away and his parents are 4. Sometimes being 4 miles away is too close for comfort but other times it's nice(like now, the furnace at my house isn't working so it's cold and I'm hanging out at the in-laws where it's warm!). The in-laws have a hobby farm and are always calling my hubby to help do this or that so a lot of the time nothing gets done at our place because we're too busy helping his parents. We're working on trying to balance it out more and sometimes feels stressed by the fact that they do rely on us so much for everything. I love them, I don't always like them, but I do love them :)

I'm not married but my boyfriend and I have been together for 20 years and his parents love me so much. Its a great feeling and I can't believe that your inlaws treat you and the kids like that. The kids are their grandchildren for God sakes. They are not nice people to treat their son and his family so horribly. For your son to endure open heart surgery and they don't ask about him or ask to help you out is down right cruel.

my ex mother inlaw was such a two faced cow,and i told her,my ex father inlaw was lovely,his wife treated him like dirt,i could never understand why coz he was such a kind hearted man

Hi Jugs. I love my mother in law she is great. But I can't stand my brother in law or his wife. He hates me because my honey don't really like to spend time with him cause he is a whiner and he thinks it is my fault. My sister in law if she was to fall off the face of the earth no one would miss her. She is a real B she is always trying to start stuff with me. She tells me how she hates her husband and I have no choice but to tell my honey. She makes me plain sick. I can say this with all honesty I HATE her! God don't want people to take advantage of others and she is always trying to walk over me. I won't put up with it.

my laws are the one who have given me the best present of my life as my life or you can my wife..

I have the two polarities: On the one hand, my eldest brother married an awesome lady. She's funny, bright spirited, and extremely nice to everyone. On the other hand, my other brother married - then divorced - a huge monster of a girl. She is the epitome of evil in every way, and is neglectful of their child. The way I handle the bad one is ... I keep everything on the surface. I have to see her when she comes to visit her son, my nephew. When this happens, I take the higher road, and be pleasant until she says something awkward, in which case I make jokes at her expense in front of everybody. Is it so wrong to embarrass a monster in front of other people who are just itching to join in the verbal rampage?

Gee, your inlaws aren't much. If you have tried all you can to include them in your life, and they havent responded, then I would wipe them off! My ex husbsnd had 5 siblings, so I had a lot of inlaws. Many of them were great people. I saw them a lot. We had celebrations together, bought presents at christmas & birthdays, and had lots of functions together. I was very close to some of them. When my husband & I separated 4 weeks ago, they wrote me off. They refuse to communicate at all with me. I was devastated. I couldnt believe it and still cant.

I think I am very lucky because my parents in-law are very kind to me. They are very nice people. When we went to visit them, they always cooked delicious food especially for me. And if I have an argument with my husband, usually they will stand by my side. So I also treat them like my own parents. This is a good cycle. I love China

I usually get along with my in-laws. My mother-in-law and I work at the same bar. Thankfully she is the day cook, and I work at night. We get along with almost everything except when it comes to them favoring my husbands niece. My sister-in-law and her daughter live with my in-laws so they favor her more then my daughter. They watch her all the time, and give her what ever she wants. So when my husband and I ask them to babysit they say they need a night off. Other then that we get along fine.

I was only married to my ex husband for a little over a year. My inlaws were the inlaws that you read horror stories about. My ex mother in law used to come into the house that we lived in, that belonged to them, and move things back to where she wanted them. She refused to come in to the house when my daugher was born and continued to call my by the name of her sons ex wife. I despised that woman and she is now 84 years old and is still like her old self. Some people never change. Happy Mylotting

well my inlaws are great and they are very helpful to me and they care a lot about me so they are wonderful and i also care for them thanks

Hi. My parents-in-law are great. They are nice and very supportive. They always encourage us to do better especially on business aspects. I have two sisters-in-law. One of them is really nice but the other is one is hmmm...never mind.
