Does anyone get along with their In-laws?

fancynewbeesly · March 2013

Sometimes, I feel like the odd one out because we get along fine most of the time with our in-laws. (I mean, yes there are certain quirks that annoy me, and my DH of my parents, but for the most part we are fairly close)

My parents, my brother, my mother in law and my two brother in laws, live within 15 minutes of us--and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I am actually really excited because my brother in law soon to be wife is due within the month. They are having a civil ceremony this week before the baby is born. Their baby will be almost 2 years exactly younger than my daughter, and I can't wait for Reese to have a close cousin growing up.

Plus, I don't see my brother or my other brother in law having kids anytime soon, so I am excited for their baby girl

I get along great with my in laws. I don't see my SIl's and Bil a lot because they don't live near us but when we do see each other we get along great. Since DD has been born we see MIL and FIL about every 2 months about. They also don't live near us but

My MIL can drive me batty, but she loves my kids and treats them like gold. I can't ask for anymore. FIL is ancient and kind of just sits there speaking French to no one in particular, so how could I not like him. There are times I want to tell MIL to

I'm pretty close with my in-laws. My MIL died before we were married. I did get a few years to know her and she was very sweet. I get along great with my FIL and my SIL. DH is very close to my whole family and we spend a lot of time with

I get along fine with mine. I think they have their quirks, and I do feel like they play favorites with their kids and grand kids, but I keep that to myself.

I'd still rather hang out with them than my crazy azz parents, lol.

iluvmylab · March 2013

I get along with mine. MIL and FIL are divorced and live in different towns, both about 4 hours away from us. We see them a few times a year. BIL and SIL are like 5 hours away and we hadly ever see them and our nephews. They like being isolated I guess. W

PepperStick · March 2013

I get along fine with my in-laws. They are great people and love their grandkids unconditionally.

I do not, however, like how they treated DH and BIL so unfairly as they were growing up. DH was made to work for almos

I love SO's dad because SO is an exact duplicate of him; laid back, calm at all times, really patient, and just an awesome guy overall. He would do anything for anyone.

His mom and I get along really well and we've never had a falling out or anyt

Spapeggy · March 2013

I love my inlaws. Loved with them for 9 out of my hubby's 15 month deployment years ago. They're great!

shibby00 · March 2013

I get along great with my ILs. MIL is amazing and helps so much.

Tanda711 · March 2013

I love my inlaws especially my MIL, she is so helpful with DS and very respectful of how me and DH want to parent. We hang out all the time and did before DS was here.

citychicks · March 2013

Love them. My mil is awesome and we live across the street from DH's brother, wife and 3 kids. The kids LOVE it and sil and I tag team shcool drop off and pick up.

LittleFish1 · March 2013

More of a long time lurker, but yes! My inlaws are fantastic! My mother actually always says that she and I are both lucked out with great MILs.

meg_2006 · March 2013

I get along fine with mine, but they live a few hours away. Honestly I get along better with MIL Than do with my own mom. My mom can drive anyone nuts. FIL I get along with but he is harder for me to relate to. We're very different people, but we both lik

littlestjerry · March 2013

Compared to the horror stories I hear on the Bump, I have pretty good in-laws. Raw chicken, aside.

They drive me nuts sometimes, of course, but so do my own parents.

LuckyDad · March 2013

I mostly get along with the In Laws I see with any regularity. We're not BFFs, but they help out with stuff and as long as we don't talk politics, we get along fine.

rachael_c26 · March 2013

I do.

Well, I got along great with my FIL, but he passed away a few years back.

I get along well with my MIL and SIL too. But my SIL's H (so still my BIL, but less and less related, yaknow, if they get a divorce<img src="https://communit

theseaword · March 2013

I get along great with them! We recently moved much closer to them, and it was my idea. I love my own folks too, of course.

MrsGoodkat · March 2013

I get along with mine but they live 1,000 miles away. We're not close and if they lived near us they'd probably drive me crazy with their view points but they're not bad people.

EastCoastBride · March 2013

My DH gets along w/ his ILs great!

In all seriousness- his parents are batty and we BOTH have the same frustrations w/ them.

SunnyMeg1 · March 2013

I tried very hard to get along with my in-laws but I feel FIL had it out for me from when I first started dating DH and it was clear I was not going to mold to their way of life. Eventually he went too far and now DH doesn't speak to him. I do reall

FizzingWhibees · March 2013

My in-laws are really wonderful. I don't see them often because they live cross country, but MIL and I call each other to chat at least once a week.

LadyXaverian · March 2013

I do! Love my in-laws!

LoveActually4 · March 2013

I didn't meet my MIL or FIL, they both died before I married DH.

I have 12 wonderful BIL and SILs though, theyre all great live all over so we only see them 12x per year.

nanabanana06 · March 2013

My MIL may be crazy, but I do get along with her. Same with the rest of my IL's. With my ex my IL's didn't like me. His mom called me "bimbo face". However, she was a crazy twatwaffle, so the feeling was mutual.

Nita2603 · March 2013

I love both, FiL an MiL. They are fantastic.
DH's siblings, however, are both pretty entitled brats and their SO's are not better. But we can be civil.

mammamia24 · March 2013

I get along great with my inlaws. Well except for 1 BIL. I actually prefer talking to my MIL more than my own mother.

FormerlyKrista555 · March 2013

I get along fine with my in-laws. We're not close, but we get along.

They have always lived several hours away from us. I'm not sure how our relationship would change if we lived closer. I could see both scenarios: them getting

jlw2505 · April 2013

Not really - My FIL I am fine with, we don't always see eye to eye but he respects that DH and I are the parents and does things how we ask and all of that. He never shows up unexpected, etc. MIL is a whole different story and the sole reason

mom2pottamus · April 2013

I now get along with both but this has been after a lot of work and tons of speaking up on my part. MIL has different ways of doing things as she is a different culture and I just nod along and do my own thing. Her only glitch is she believes
