So.....How Do You View Your In-Laws?

nosey, gossipy and always looking to get the upper hand and gain control of individuals lives.
I tend to interact with them with a decent amount of alcohol on hand.

I am watching my new sister in law with curiosity and can't quite decide if she and I should have a talk, as she has no idea what shes dealing with. But she thinks she does. Shes trying to fix them.
I really want to go the popcorn route, but they are dangerous. They are relationship killers. Still....

I have the most amazing in-laws I could possibly wish. They've done so much for our family and still do ^^

My husband however is not so lucky in return 😅 My dad has always been supportive, but he's not a very good husband to my mother. And well my mother is neither 🤷‍♀️ Wasn't a particular good mom either. It's not like I don't get along with them, I moved out of the house like 12 years ago so I've had a lot of time to process, forgive & rebuild the relationship with them. My relationship with my parents is good now because I'm no longer dependent on them. Whatever they do on their own time & to eachother is up to them.

My parents in law however, are a true example & support. I would dare say they even contributed to me not unconsciously turning out like my parents. I met them when I was 15 and started dating my now husband.

I like my mother-in-law just fine. She has an old way of thinking, but she’s been nothing but kind to me and supportive of me marrying her daughter.

Atleast they getting there. How do they feel about their child married to u?

My In Laws are better than my own parents. I had a toxic relationship with mum. Due to her ruthless reputation my dad never supported her and he was with friends rather than his own fam.

My in laws? Despite poverty brought up 2 beautiful daughters with love, care and affection. Support and encouragement! My own parents... no support, no encouragement.

When I first met them my FIL didn't like me but MIL did. As time went on I became like his son since my wife is an only child.

My ex’s folks hated me. Very rude people. They blamed me for their son’s lack of ambition and dumbassery, but years later after I left him and he.. stayed himself she apologized.

Other than that I’ve had positive experiences. Granted, after that ex I promised to never again date someone whose parents were problematic like that.

Well at least they are coming around for you! Congrats.

I have been divorced for 14 and a half years. I have no in-laws, so I have no answer to add on this question.

Merry Christmas.

Although very poor, my in-laws are great people, and they live on the other side of the World (SE Asia). Hence, I have little day-to-day contact with them.

I view my in-laws from the opposite side of the grass ☠️
