Another inlaw questions....

[Andrea]

do you get a long with your inlaws ???? more inless your sister and brother in laws ??? And there spouses ???

 

[tink_n_pooh]

I get along fine with MIL & FIL, FIL is actually outside with DH right now building a shed.

My brothers wife... well lets just say she is my brother's wife, not my SIL

DH's sisters - I get along with all of them pretty well and their husbands as well. The one SIL and her hubby have been having some 'issues' for about 2 years now, its not pleasant but I still get along with both of them well enough for a few hour visit.

 

[Andrea]

i get along with my mil and fil inlaw great !!! i even get a long with his brothers and sisters great. One of the brothers is married, and i can not get along with his wife. I'm not even invited to the babyshower that my mil in throwing for her.

 

[mrsstats]

We vacation with my brother and SIL all the time. So yes, we do get along. When she was 1st engaged to my brother, she lived with us and we shared a bedroom.

My SIL on my DH side I get along with. But I always remember that I am the in-law

 

[Diva of Dragons]

Nope.

 

[Andrea]

But I always remember that I am the in-law

i also do remember that, but in this case techinally were both the inlaws haha since were both married into the family

I do get along OK with my inlaws (except for one of my DH's brothers who has never liked me, I think because I happened upon him when he was furtively pouring himself a tumbler full of vodka at our first family reunion ). DH is not super-thrilled with his family (lots of alcoholism and poor parenting etc. etc.) so we don't see them all that often. They all live far away.

 

[binny]

some of them are great. Love all 3 of my SILs. 2 BILs.... well I dont ever see them or talk to them and thats fine.

FiL and I get along great most of the time.

 

[EthansMom]

I can stand to be in the same room with them but we really don't have the same interests or priorities

 

[Plantlady]

I get along beautifully with my MIL and FIL, DH gets along beautifully with my parents. My SIL does not really like us.. not sure why. Hopefully it will pass.

But, overall, our inlaw experiences have been wonderful.

For the most part, everyone gets along pretty well between our respective families… I don’t adore my husband’s youngest brother’s wife, but they live half way across the country so I think we’ll live!

 

[Disneyaunt4]

I get along with DH's Mom and Dad,love them and his siblings and their spouses. And he feels the same about mine. One big happy family

 

[Ms.Grumpy]

My MIL and FIL have passed, but we got along great. FIL used to call me daughter. With my SIL and BIL it's also the same, we all get along.
When I began dating DH, I laid all my cards on the table. They knew how I was and that I was not a push over, not that they ever did anything to upset me. I just think it is easier when they know what I will and will not put up with.

 

[Disney Doll]

I got along very well with my parents-in-law. I had a very close relationship with my DFIL and also got along well with my DMIL. When I read some of the horror stories here, I think "Whew!".

DH has 3 sisters. One of them is great, one of them is OK, one is a nut. DH's extended family is good for the most part. My brother's wife is good too.

All inall, I feel pretty fortunate to have only one real nut out of the whole bunch.

 

[ginna74]

I got along good with my MIL and my SIL until they decided I should no londer be married to their son and brother and sense young daughter wasn't blood she wasn't good enough for their family <roll eyes here> and the only way to make sure that was to happen is go extreme and do whatever it took . Lucky they didn't use their brains and just started a family war...

My other SIL is the best and a wonderful person She comes from the same well ^ and I don't know how she is so wonderful coming from that. The rest we talk to on ocassion and they seem to be fairly normal. And like 11 years later am still reeling from the attemped coo at my very life and well being. I say that cause it wasn't just my marriage that they were after, was my daughter, they used my son (is his blood), and I am lucky to be free and even more to be alive !!!omg MIL from HELLLLL!!!

THey eventually appologized to hubby and admitted to their wrong doing, It does no good though ..knowing that if they did a little more work at trying to mess me up... I don't even want to think about it...

you all are lucky....


end of my story......... lol

 

[scottishduffy]

On my DH's side I get along great with BIL #1 and SIL, we hang out and go to dinner on a regular basis. I also get along very well with BIL #2. DH is very close with his brothers and we all meet up regularly. I get along well with FIL and MIL on that side, I consider them like my own parents as they are just good people.

DH's Bio-Mom (MIL #2) is another story. The woman hates my guts and has tried to break up DH and I several times. DH does not get along with her either and cut off most contact with her about a year ago. I have the BEST crazy MIL stories from that woman. I try not to take it personally, her craziness is not a reflection on me. Thankfully she lives in another country so I rarely see her.

On my side.... well, I am sure people around here are well aware of my Brother and my SIL. I love the guy because he's my brother... I am just not so sure i like him. My SIL is perfectly nice, just a bit odd. As is the case with my brother I am not entirely sure what the heck is wrong... but it sure as heck isn't right. Exactly like my brother. They are a perfect match. We get along at the moment but we shall see what becomes of that over time.

DH gets along well with my parents and does not seem to have any complaints about my side. Sometimes my Mom's obsessive planning annoys him but this is a minor issue and it bothers me too! No real huge issues.

Our two sides of the family occassionally get together for holidays since we all live within a few hours of each other and that way there is no worry about splitting holidays. Everyone gets along well enough.

 

[S. C.]

yes

 

[MM27]

My sil has started to grow on me. We never really "clicked" before, but since my niece was born 3 years ago, we have become closer.

 

[threecrazykids]

No...hubby cut off contact with his mother almost 2 years ago and my family couldn't be better because of it.

I know it's hard to believe (to some people) but I don't want my kids within 20 feet of that woman.

DH father is not in the best health and he still maintains a relationship with him. It's kind of sad for DH though because all his dad wants is for us all to be together. As hard as it is DH has told him several times it simply won't happen, we've been down this road TONS of times with his mother, end of discussion.

As far as SIL she's as bad as MIL so DH won't speak to her either...but it's one of those very immature "if you're not talking to Mom I can't talk to you either" kind of relationships...so...good ridance.

We used to be hurt by the lack of relationship but now we celebrate it!

I love all of my husband's family (he has seven siblings and most of them are married and have children so there's a lot of them). I'm closer to some than others but that's more because I see some of them more than the others. I love MIL and FIL and get along with both of them.
DH gets along with my family as well (I also have seven siblings and most of them are married with kids too, LOL) and I'm sure he loves my parents.
NOW we are the inlaws to our SIL. A brand new place for the both of us. It's been week and so far I'm pretty sure SIL still likes us both, LOL. Hopefully we'll keep that going!
