Do you like your Sister/Brother in-laws?

[Charlotte ~08]

I have 2 BILs. One is great, I've always got on really well with him. The other BIL I really cannot stand, I tolerate him for my sister. Quite a few other members in my family dislike him too.

 

[mickeyboat]

Yes, I like them.

I love my Future-SIL. They're getting married in June and I'm so happy for them. She is just the cutest little thing.

 

[spalady]

No, I have 3 sister in laws (in my family) and all 3 don't make 1 good one!!!!

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

One BIL (who is luckily now an EX BIL) physically, verbally and emotionally abused my sister, so no, I don't like him and never have. My other BIL is okay. He has his moments, but he's generally a good guy. I like my SIL most of the time.

I have 2 SIL's. One is cool...a little overbearing at times but mostly cool. The other is annoying. No one in the family likes her though so at least it's not just me. 2 BIL's They're fine. A smidge embarrassing at times, but fine.

One sil I really like. The other is good to my brother, he loves her but she is really loud which gets on my nerves. It's not that I don't like her, she is a good person. It just seems that since she had kids all she does is yell.

 

[Crankyshank]

No. One is a bitter pill of a woman, and the other is a welfare abusing, sanctimonious piece of work. They are DH's siblings. Mine aren't married.

 

[Cass]

Yes, I love all my BIL and SIL

 

[ClarabelleCowFan]

I like my BILs better than my sisters.

My sister and her ex divorced after more than 20 years of marriage. I've known him since I was 7 years old. I'm one of the only members of the family he'll talk to at family gatherings. My sister has no animosity toward him but he is still angry toward her (which is weird because he was the one who caused the divorce.) I like him and hope that he'll eventually put everything behind him and get on with his life.

I like all of DH's brothers and their wives, as well.

 

[Chattyaholic]

I don't have any siblings so when DH and I got married I had high hopes for developing close relationships with his two younger sisters.

Never happened.

We get along just fine at family gatherings, etc. and have cruised twice with one sister and her husband, and once with the other sister and husband but as far as day-to-day living, we're not close like I wish we were. I've tried, but got tired of trying, and didn't want to keep "forcing" it so gave up.

I like one brother in law, the other is a bit irritating. I love one sister in law, the other one need to relax a bit. Too bad the 2 cool ones arent married to each other.

BIL (married sister 1) -- love him like a brother

ex-BIL (divorced from sister 2) -- liked him fine - haven't talked to him since they split

SIL (DH's sister) -- got along with her wonderful until she had a baby and told me that I was "a horrible mother" because I "was letting other people raise my kids" and that no "respectable mother would ever work and not be with her baby." After she said this ... I'm cordial and that's about that.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

I really like both of DH's sisters and their DHs; we have fun, stress-free visits with them. I like my sister's ex (more than I like my sister), but never really see him anymore. I like my other sister's long term (20 years) BF very much. I don't like either one of one brother's ex-wives...he sure knows how to pick 'em. And I'm not at all fond of my other brother's wife, but get along fine if we've got to be in the same room, which is rare, thank God.

 

[MrsSilvaStrat]

Sure do! He's great! He fixes things at my house all the time! lol

 

[Robinrs]

Nope, they're both jerks!!

 

[MomofKatie]

I like my DH's sister very much (even though she has some annoying political views)- she's really nice and I'm glad we get along so well. I just wish we lived closer to each other so we could see each other more often.

My brother's wife (now ex-SIL, thank goodness), though? Never could really "get" her- and not because of a lack of trying. We just never became close- mainly because of her, not me. She is a really unemotional, non-demonstrative cold fish of a woman who never once showed any interest in trying to be friendly to me. My brother met her when I was only 12 years old, so I knew her for many, many years. I feel like I knew my other SIL better within a month of meeting her than I ever knew ex SIL. Now that she and my brother are divorced, I might never see her again, and I wouldn't be at all upset at the prospect.

I get along pretty well with my BIL's (my wife brother and my sister's husband). My SIL (brother's wife) I can take or leave.

I really like my brother's wife and my DH's two sisters. (and the one sister who's married has a great husband.) My DH's brother and his wife are another story. They are both awful, awful people. If we never saw them again it would be fine by me. We play nice in front of DH's parents, but I know they feel the same way.
