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

Yes..... My husband's mothers side is super fun... his dad's side, more quiet and kind of boring. lol But all quite nice.0
-
Yes! Mine are great, I love them, and they are such wonderful grandparents to my son.0
-
Love my mother in law. She's a warm, caring woman.
My father in law? Not so much. :laugh:0 -
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. lol0
-
dull spoon to my eyes, spleen, kidney, whatever0

Yes! we get along famously...but his stepmother is a different story...for everyone.:huh: Not that were buddy buddy, we all just avoid her...shes too up-a-boojie for us. not thats she rich, she just cant go in a 99 cent store, its beneath her.0
-
Yep! They're great!
It helps that they live 200 miles away, though.0 -
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!0
-
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.0 -
NO!0

Love my in-laws! It's a good thing we do get along so well, they live just down the road.
My mother-in-law is a fabulous human being and they're great grandparents to Squirt.0 -
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. -_-0 -
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.0

Me too
. Mine are very passive aggressive. I could go on and on. The holidays are the hardest.:grumble: 0 -
I am totally FOR families getting along and working together,Every time I have to visit them, which is every second Sunday, I want to claw my eyes out.
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!0 -
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.0
-
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!0
-
I could not have asked for better in-laws!0
-
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.0 -
I LOVE my in-laws!!! 0
-
ummmm, no. Tried for about 5 years and then realized it was never going to work. They are, however, fabulous with my kids - that is, when they take the time to actually see them. Not very frequently.0
-
Not really. My husband doesn't speak to his father and his family because they didn't like me (they are big into women folk doing women folk things and men being treating like kings -- and insisted I was wasn't friendly enough). His mother and her family are ok -- they really, really get on my last nerve every single time I see them (6 times a year or so) but I try hard to not let that show since I know they have good hearts -- and for my husband's sake since he was willing to cut the people who were just nasty.
It was a big shift from my ex fiance's family, who I adored and who loved me in return.0 -
for the most part, I just lost my Mom August 1st of this year and I was very close to her. It made my MIL very jealous to which she even made some comments to in the beginning of my marriage...
Now for my husbands SIL and his brother...I like them, but the less I see of them, the better....0 -
My MIL and FIL are wonderful and I love them very much!0
-
No married (by choice), but they might as well be my in laws. I love them, they are great people. And thankfully, my parents get along with Matty....to the point that they call just to check up on him.0
-
I can take them in doses lol I love them but my family we are open, and like to have fun. His family is VERY competitive and if they are hurt by one of them they never talk. So they lack in Communication too! So it's different than mine, but I do love them.0
-
ugh, mine are so frustrating! I've known them for 15 years and in that time, they go long periods of time without contacting us at all (which is fine). But then they contact us a lot trying to make tons of plans - and then they cancel or just flat out don't show up. It didn't bother me too much until my husband and I had a child, who is now six and realizes that her grandparents are ditching her. We have gotten to the point where we don't tell her until the absolute last minute that we have plans with them but they have still found ways to screw this up. It's gotten to the point where my husband finally told them six months ago that she gets too upset when they cancel so he wasn't going to make plans with them for awhile. This happened after they were supposed to pick her up for a sleep over and never showed up. when my husband called a half an hour after they were supposed to come (and my daughter was all packed and ready to go) they said oh, sorry, too tired. but they do everything for my sister in law, which is so frustrating!0

I adore my future in laws.
I still adore my ex in laws.0 -
I like my in-laws, they respect our family and are there when we need them (usually). We get along...However my family hates them!! Every time I mention them to my mom she rolls her eyes and cringes. It makes family events very difficult. There was a time when I didn't like my in-laws, but we all got passed it and moved on. My mom does not know how to let go...0

I try to get along or I'd be homeless.0
