Every time I have to visit them, which is every second Sunday, I want to claw my eyes out.

    Love my mother in law. She's a warm, caring woman.

    My father in law? Not so much. :laugh:

    Not in the slightest... I do my very best to be polite and to expect nothing from them at all. Other alternative is get drunk and avoid them as best i can. lol

    Yep! They're great! :heart:

    It helps that they live 200 miles away, though.

    I really, really disliked my mother-in-law (now EX). One year at Christmas she was telling me that mimosas where the only way she got through holidays with her in-laws. Once I learned that secreat things got a little better!

    NO. I tolerate them, at best. Thankfully, they're not a close family. Close in proximity, only, yet we only see them at holidays and maybe one other time during the year.

    When we were first married, I made all kinds of attempts to get together, visit, throughout the year. I felt like I was banging my head against the wall. They won't plan more than like a day in advance. Or they cancel last minute. So I just gave up. The last 3 or so years, I see them at holidays and maybe one other time in the summer.

    Love my in-laws! It's a good thing we do get along so well, they live just down the road. :smile:

    My mother-in-law is a fabulous human being and they're great grandparents to Squirt.

    Yes and no, I guess.

    I only get to see my mother-in-law and she's really difficult at times. She seems really sweet at the outset, but it's not long before you see through the guise. Lately she's taken to asking my husband about every little thing. It's like she's trying to rein in the apron strings a little more. -_-

    Nope. My MIL is bi-polar, so I never know if I'm going to get happy, fun MIL or "I don't think you like me very much" whiny MIL or "Everything you say offends me and I'm going to stop speaking to you for 6 months" angry MIL. Therefore, I dread talking to her.

    Me too ;). Mine are very passive aggressive. I could go on and on. The holidays are the hardest.:grumble:

    I am totally FOR families getting along and working together,
    However, I am with you on this.
    I had to laugh because I felt the same way.
    If it is not productive for your own family (you, your wife, and children), then, I say, feel free to skip it!

    My wife's parents re divorced....have been for many years. Her dad....great man. Kinda guy you can go grab a beer with and just talk. Her mom....not so much. I tolerate her. That's the kindest thing i can come up with.

    YES! I LOVE my inlaws! They are the only older couple I know that are still happily married, so I really admire them for that. Plus they are wonderful grandparents to my children!

    Yes. Always have. Even before marriage. They were not a tight family before I came around and was pregnant with their grandchild ...and after that our daughter brought the family really close. Yet Sometimes like your own family you wanna scream 'shut up" or "r u serious" but with in-laws its tough to say things you would to your own mother/father...:)

    Yet we always get along and they always wanna help when we lived in Ohio...now that we live outta state again we don't see them very much.
