Does anyone like their MIL?

haleymay18 · November 2010

I know that a lot of people have really shltty in laws but I really love mine. We have definitely had rough patches but I am so thankful to have her in my life. The same goes for my FIL, I feel like he really treats me like I am his daughter. I am lucky because I have a super sh*ttastic real dad so I guess it is only fair that I don't have to suffer with bad in laws too, right?

Does anyone else love their in laws?

margarita1365 · November 2010

Yes, my MIL is awesome. She can be a little annoying sometimes, but we get along really well.

Echowysp · November 2010

Love mine. Never have had any issues with them. They are the best.

idoinjuly · November 2010

I really love my in-laws. We've had some issues with unequal treatment of dd compared to their other grandchild, but that's really my only complaint with them.

blushingbrideoct07 · November 2010

My MIL and I used to be very close until DH and I got engaged. Then she got super jealous that DH considered me his first priority. We had a rough year or so with her jealously issues but are now at a much better place. Once in a while it will flair up but Dh quickly handles it and put his mom in her place. All in all she is a wonderful grandmother and mother to her son. They consider me family and just like any family there are some ups and downs but overall its wonderful.

I love my in-laws. I never knew people like this existed because my mother is crazy and my father is absent. I don't have any contact with them and they've never met Princess B.

I thank God every day for my awesome new family. I told DH that if we ever get divorced I get to keep his parents!

kiwi443 · November 2010

Yes, I could not ask for a better MIL. And luckily for me, she lives 1 minute away.

RandomLurker · November 2010

No. I don't like her and don't even consider her to be my DD's Grandmother. She abandoned my DH when he was 17, with no where to live. She was so horrid to my SIL that the she ended up in foster care. SIL has now lived with us for 5 years (she's 15 now), and her mother almost never makes contact with her. I could go on, but there's only so much I'll air on the internet.

I am jealous of those that have a good relationship with their MILs. I wish we had the same, especially for the sake of my DH and SIL.

Noelle2375 · November 2010

I don't dislike her at all. I just do not agree with some of the things they do. We don't live close enough to them to really worry about it though.

Mine lives 2 houses up... with my SIL and her family in the house in between... we call it our compound

kit443 · November 2010

Love my ILs!

Jes.Pup · November 2010

I LOVE my ILs! They are awesome and have been there for me more than my own family.

buboo · November 2010

Me, I really like MIL. We live on the same block too so thats nice. FIL gets on my nerves sometimes but only because he drinks too much. Overall I feel very lucky esp after reading some of the stories here.

Haha, this is kind of freaky (in a cool way). My SIL also lives between the ILs and us. I call it the Ourlastname Commune, lol.

labooshki · November 2010

I do. My ILs are really amazing people. I would die if I had shitty ILs.

murmist01 · November 2010

I love mine, she is great to us and is always there when we need her. It does help that they are 2 hours away from us so that we don't get sick of each other.

hahaha too weird. I never knew there was one family like this let alone two Smile

grinsandgiggles · November 2010

Love mine. Although things have definitely changed since we've had LO. They abide by our wishes, but sometimes I think she thinks this is the third child she's never had. We don't always see eye to eye, but she would never put DS in harm's way and she's actually overprotective. I trust her more than my own mom (which I should add I do trust completely) lol

ryry1977 · November 2010

My in-laws are great. So glad to have them live nearby. Of course still love to read the MIL vents!

vermont7 · November 2010

Yes!

jbl126 · November 2010

I really like my MIL. We get along well and she probably comes over once a week to visit. She was very helpful to me when the girls were born. I trust her with the girls completely. I know she doesnt always agree with things I do but she never says anything to me.

Now my FIL, is a complete douche. DH's parents are divorced so we rarely see him which is perfect. He actually asked us to change our wedding date because he had a trip planned to Hawaii. And he missed the girls 1st birthday paarty because he misplaced their invitation and forgot about it. He cant even tell the girls apart and they dont alike. And lastly my dog is afraid of him and she LOVES everyone.

stellasmommy · November 2010

i love my ILs. MIL takes care of DD, and she is so good to her. MIL always wanted a girl (she had 2 boys), and i thought she might try to be too involved with her, but not at all. she does everything i ask. she never butts into our business. she's very kind and generous. my FIL is great too. he's been doing most of the work with renovating our home. i always tell people i feel like i hit the IL jackpot after all the horror stories you hear.

MrsGarrett929 · November 2010

My MIL was great before we got engaged/married and it's just gotten worse since DS was born. Now we're dealing with a lady who refuses to believe she's old enough to be a grandma on top of the favortism she shows her other grandson. Fun stuff. FIL is awesome though!

ZTACRYSTAL · November 2010

My MIL is great! We are a lot alike. She can be a little annoying sometimes, but we get along really well. My SIL on the other hand, thats a whole different story/

PinkBackPack · November 2010

My in-laws are great. I actually get along better with my MIL than my mother. Everyone has crazy MIL stories and I have crazy Mom stories.

sarcole530 · November 2010

You're lucky. I hate mine with a passion. They do and say the rudest things. I can't even get into it because I'd have a novel by the time I was done!

lbaby08 · November 2010

Yes, I actually really like both my MIL and Step-MIL. They are great moms/grandmothers and have always treated me with love and respect. Of course there are small things that can be annoying but nothing that affects our relationships. I think the worst thing my MIL has ever done was let DD watch way more TV/movies then I normally do when DD stayed with her one weekend. Not ideal but not something worth starting WW3.

Since I have 2 MILs that are both pretty involved in our lives, I know I am super lucky to love them both.

robbie3982 · November 2010

I love my in-laws!

LI444 · November 2010

I do. She drives me crazy at times with her nosiness (drives by slowly looking in our windows, has let herself in when we weren't home, etc...) but she's very sweet and pokes around so much because she loves us and is a worrier.

Chrysallys · November 2010

Yes. I love all of my inlaws. They are fantastic people.

Soap1 · November 2010

I really, really dislike my MIL and SIL - we don't get along at all.

Now my FIL and step-MIL: I love them more than my own family! I wish my FIL was my dad!

kscarlett5683 · November 2010

I LOVE LOVE LOVE both my MIL and my FIL. They are such wonderful people and I can't speak enough wonderful things about them. When they come over to stay it is truly a treat. MIL comes and takes care of DD when the babysitter can't. MIL is a typical aries...she's a real fighter and reminds me of my mom. Yes, she has strong opinions, but to be honest, I haven't really ever disagreed with her!

I feel very blessed because my mom has passed and my dad lives across the country. Plus he's remarried and although my stepmom is nice, she doesn't exactly act like a grandma too much with DD, you know? Not anywhere near like my mom would have.

::sniff sniff:: I want to cry now.

weelass24 · November 2010

I love my IL's. Good thing too. We only see them twice a year, but we stay a week or two ata time. It would get old really fast if I didn't like them.

jnealet · November 2010

Yup. Although it may help that she lives on the other side of the world. Literally.

nmr79 · November 2010

Not only do I have an awesome MIL, but DH's stepmom (married to his dad for 22 years) is great too. I feel lucky. DD gets a bonus grandma, and we get free daycare (my mom, MIL and SMIL all share).

P.G.&A.M. · November 2010

I feel very fortunate to have had the mother in law I had. I've heard some real horror stories from others, but mine was great. Sadly this fall she suddenly died. I feel bad that my oldest will barely remember her, my now 2 y.o. won't be able to remember her and the baby we're having this winter won't get to see or know her.

MarcyIam · November 2010

I do, and DH really likes mine.

katypresson · November 2010

Yup! I have amazing ILs. My FIL watches DS for us - free of charge. He will NOT accept payment for watching him. Instead we bought them a brand new washer & dryer - once that's paid off we're going to get them a new stove. Stuff they need but don't have the money for.

MIL is equally awesome. I actually work with her (I'm her assistant) - sit next to her 40+ hours per week. We get along great!!!

meggiekins · November 2010

I absolutely love my ILs. I'm as close to them as my own parents. Sure, there are times when MIL makes me crazy, but there are times when my own mom makes me crazy, and everyone else for that matter. I am so lucky to have my ILs, and I do my best to make sure they know how blessed I feel.

MrsHughesNC · November 2010

I really like mine. I'm very lucky. They are pretty awesome. Sure, they can annoy me, but nowhere near as much as my DH's MIL does. LOL. :-)

Haha, I agree, totally love reading all the in-law vents!

I am so happy that I don't have to deal with that, I get along with my in-laws perfectly
