Basic question about a part of married life.  Do you like or dislike your inlaws and why?

  • I do love my MIL, but I won't lie that she does get under my skin when it comes to my 4 year old.  She spoils her, which you can say that's grandmas are for, but there is such a thing as going overboard!!  It drives me nuts, and my husbands gets defensive if I try to say anything to him.  He'll agree with me somtimes, but not all time, but that is to be expected.  Most the time I just grin and bare it:-)

       I love my in-laws. My husband is an only child and they are way protective of him but they have taken me and my three kids in there lives and treat us all as family.  They don't tell us what to do unless we ask for help on things then they give us opinions.  They are always there to listen and help. My mother in law takes care of me like I was her own. I was injured at work and permanently disabled and her and my father in law are so over protective of everything to make sure I am ok.  They moved 1000 miles to be closer to us but yet far enough away to give us our space.  I can ask my mother in law anything and get an honest answer whether I like it or not and I respect that so much and we have heart to hearts all the time on dealing with hers and mine. They are so much alike that we both just need to vent to each other. I was blessed I have the greatest in laws and they have never changed...

  • I really like my mother in law.  She is fun and acts younger than she is.  Very different from my mother.  My step father in law is an awful human.  He is a bully.  I never invite them over for dinner because I would rather not spend the evening with someone that makes me feel bad or uncomfortable.
