Do you like your Sister/Brother in-laws?

[rie'smom]

Yes,I do.
There was one SIL, now an ex SIL, who was difficult but everyone thought she was a pill.

 

[suzimar57]

nope - my BIL is an abusive creep.

i only wish my sister will someday find the strength to leave him.

 

[Pin Wizard]

I have two BsIL and one SIL. Love them all to bits!

 

[tevagirl]

Oh and as you can tell reading my post above....mine do NOT read here!!!

You should try harder to not suppress your feelings so much.

 

[binny]

how about a non-committal some of them, some of the time? I have 6. about half of them are great.

 

[DisneyJen0504]

Love mine and get along with them very well. I am lucky!

Let's see... The spouse was asked to be the godfather to his brother's baby - the christening was this weekend. BIL called the spouse the day prior to chat, and out of the blue asked if DH had a fishing pole. DH explained to his brother that he hasn't fished in over 20 years.

Why? Because the last time the spouse went fishing was with his dad, and there was an accident on the boat. It tipped over, and DH did not know how to swim, so his dad attempted to push him to the shore. The spouse said that at one point he couldn't feel his dad's hands on him anymore, and when he turned around in the water, his dad had drowned. Right in front of him. DH says to his brother he has his fishing pole at the house, but it hasn't seen the light of day since the day their dad died.

So, what does his brother buy him for a present for being the baby's godfather. A fishing pole.

Do I like my BIL? I feel nothing but contempt for him right now. And I feel nothing but pain for my husband who saw that pole and immediately relived the whole accident in the span of 10 seconds - I saw it in his eyes. No, BIL, we don't live with the death of their father every day. My husband does not feel guilty each and every day of his life that if only he had known how to swim, his dad would still be alive. No, the spouse does not feel every day that he is the reason his dad is dead. LET'S GO FISHING!

I hate him.

I'm so sorry.

I have 3 brothers and DH has one so I have a few SIL (and one BIL).

One sister in law is great, but I don't know her too well. She keeps her distance (but is friendly). She is pregnant now so hopefully we will be closer in the future (kids do that.)

One sister in law is well, hard to be a SIL too. I like her and and I think it would be easier to be friends with her but she brings a lot of baggage and competition to the relationship. She can be exhausting (like nothing good can ever happen to them.)

My DH's brothers' wife I am very close to and we get a long well. We are pretty different people who came from very different back grounds but we really respect each other and accept each other for who we are. (She is a Disney World nut too.) I like my brother in law too he is a great guy, but I know I married the "better brother" so to speak.

One sister in law was a dear friend and felt like a true sister to me. Sadly we lost her to breast cancer 10 years ago. She was my role model for being a mother. I love her children like my own. I miss her dearly.

Not really married but have been with DBF for 3 years and yes I like all of them he has 2 sisters and a brother.... Hopefully soon they will be SIL's and BIL's

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Adore them....they are 3 states away

 

[CathrynRose]

HA!!!

Youre so funny.

NO!!!

Clear enough?

 

[Cindy B]

Besides the generation gap, (over 20 years age difference!) I like my brothers and sister in law.

My SIL was wonderful to me when I got married. She was the sweetest person! She helped me pick out a dress and really guided me.

My brother in laws-- well, some are great and some well, know that I am 20 years younger than them.. and there isn't much to talk about.

 

[Papa Deuce]

I have 5... love 3, like 2.

 

[nhrenee]

I love my in-laws. I grew up with 3 brothers so I love being around my (3)sil's . My 2 brother in laws are great too!

 

[nhrenee]

HA!!!

Youre so funny.

NO!!!

Clear enough?

Come on; tell us how you really feel!

Wow, that is awful . I'm so sorry your spouse is having to relive this nightmare again. I also feel bad for your BIL's baby. I hope your spouse can be a positive influence that this child will obviously need in his life.

 

[txSleepingBeauty]

yep, as a matter of fact I've told my SIL that if they ever get a divorce, she gets me in the settlement.....

 

[MoniqueU]

Well my husband and I don't have any. I am bummed not to be an aunt but I think after reading some of the stories on the Dis we are lucky.

I know from personal experience how painful that was for your spouse. Some people just shock me with their ignorance and callousness. You wouldn't believe what some of my family has said and done to me either. My heart breaks for your husband.

I have two brothers in law. One is my sister's DH, he's nice, but not really warm. My DH's sister's husband is really down to earth. I have two SIL's which I love and am really good friends with.
