M

In-Laws

I just wanna know....does ANYBODY have a great relationship, get along, close or even comfortable around their in-laws? 😂 I’m blessed to be able to be close to mines. They treat me as if I’m their blood but it sucks that us women end up w the sucky in-laws. Does anybody like theirs? Lol! I hope this turns out to be a fun discussion.

My MIL is my bestie!

I’m very close with my in laws. My MIL has been more of a mother to me than my own mum has been my entire life. They’re an amazing family and I love them dearly and am so grateful to have such a great relationship with them.

I like mine! There’s a language barrier though so maybe that plays a part. we just say hello how are you okay love you bye 😂😭

Oh my gosh you’re all so lucky! I clash like crazy with my MIL. She likes to dish out the opinions and advice but can’t take it in return. Also, her favorite way to control my hubby is to cry on que. FIL is chill and I don’t mind him. His two sisters can be quite the handful like the mom.

That’s ridiculous 🥴

I haven’t met mine yet. I’ll get to meet them next summer. I love my SILS. So I’m hoping for the same out come

My in-laws are in Jamaica I try to talk to my MIL when she calls but usually I’m miss her

Good luck 🥰 I met my in-laws for the first time pregnant. & some of the family didn’t even know my hubby was married lol. I talked to my SIL all of the time before we met so it made the visit a lot more comfortable than expected.

My partner and I are lucky that we both get on with each others parents and that our families have met and get on well as well

Can’t physically, mentally, emotionally deal with the in-laws 😔 I would absolutely love to but it’s a no go for 😭😭😭😭

Thank you for the positivity.... I doubt we’ll ever get there unfortunately .....

Aww I’m sorry doll. I know sooner or later it’ll all settle down & you’ll be super close to them like you would love to be. It’s always hard being the in law.

I get on really well with my in laws I'm the daughter they never had so I'm quite close with both of them

Haha, my husband would say his MIL is crazy and hard to get along with but I love my in laws!😂

Yes! Love my mother-in-law and my husbands whole family (much more than my own)

Yep!! I lived with them for a little while I was pregnant and my husband was away. They treated me like blood

No absolutely not. Mine are narcissists and they stole my husbands son for selfish reasons and to control my husband. They have been disowned.

What? Are you serious? As they SHOULD BE!

They got a buttload of chances to stop telling us how to raise our kids and then we stopped talking to them. Then one day a sheriff came along with my husband's step dad and had our son taken after they obtained a court order. So ya they are never allowed in our lives again.

I love my in-laws! My MIL can be a butt sometimes, she likes to lecture people but does that to everyone, but she means well and I know she cares

Mine are awkward. Can’t just drop by and hang out: Miss my family they don’t live around

I'm so lucky to be close with my mother in law! We are much closer than my mother and I! :)

Love my mother in law, she can definitely have her moments but we love each other to death, could tell her anything

I’m very close with my in-laws, I’m comfortable being with them for hours without my partner and chat with them both regularly on the phone x

Same 😁

I love my MIL she’s one of my only friends 😂💕

I love mine. There are some stuff They might do or say that I won’t agree with..but I love them all the same . They were super nice and welcoming me when they met me and they still haven’t changed .. told me I can go stay with them while my man was supposed to go to police academy so I wouldn’t be alone .talk to them freely . I like it .

I do! We all get along and it’s so nice! I think mainly because we are all “go with the flow” type people and just say what’s bothering us right away and fix it.

Nope not close to mine. I used to like them and had a decent relationship with them till we lived with them for a year. I did not like the way my mother in law did things especially when it came to my daughter and her safety. She would wash dishes with laundry soap and leave mouse poison and sticky traps out where she can get it. Thankful I kept a close eye on her despite my mother in laws complaining about everything I did for my baby. And they were temporarily fostering 3 other kids. When we finally moved into our own place I had to ask her to watch our dog and she almost killed him and didn’t say anything to us for 3 days. I personally dont care if they like me or if I do things that piss them off but I’d be perfectly happy not having to deal with them. My husband is close to them but we will not let my kids stay any length of time with them without one of us there

It was tough and definitely had a negative impact on me and my relationship with my husband but things are so much better now aside from normal couple things. It’s nice to see so many moms that have good relationships with their in laws tho

That’s crazy! Idk how you dealt w that for a YEAR! Things do get different & relationships do change when you start to live w someone. So happy you guys got your own place.

My in laws are amazing. We a live together in one house. And although I need my own space and get frustrated most times. I feel lucky to have a good relationship with my parent in laws and sibling in laws. They make me comfortable and feel apart of the family which is nice. But i can get annoyes at times as cause they see me as their own, and they have their own ways of doing things, the verbal input can annoy the hell out of me (father in law in specific) but he means well. 😊

I get along way better with my in laws than my parents. I am so grateful 💕

I absolutely love my in laws! We have the beat relationship. I actually feel more comfortable around them and at their home than my husband does 😂

😂😂😂

I was lucky enough to meet my husband through his family, i’m even closer to them than my own. I absolutely love his mom and I’m fully expecting her to retire into a mother in law house in the back. Lol

My mil doesn’t speak English but I think she likes me. She’s pretty nice and chill

LOVE them!!! Almost like them more than my own family. We just moved back from Colorado and stayed with them while we bought and renovated a house before their first grand baby was born and they have been absolutely wonderful! I come from a divorced and very dramatic family so it’s nice to be apart of a loving and normal family now and have them as the grandparents my baby see the most in all honesty.

Amazing ❤️

We get along great! But we didn't always it took some work for both of us

My mother in law gets a little overbearing, but we get along well! I’m lucky enough to of married into a big family.

My in laws treat me better than my own parents. My mother kicked me out of the house when I was a senior in high school and they let me live with them. They helped me through a lot 😊 still super close 😊

Aw how sweet of them. So happy they took you in & everything continues to be OK for you guys.

I love my in laws! My mil is so sweet to me and treats me like the daughter she never had :)

I love mine ❤️ I’ve been very blessed

Yes I love my in laws and they love me! They both actually told my husband I was his wife before he knew I was his wife! 😂😂 my mother in love will get on my husband when he’s acting up too!

Same w MINES 😌

I get along with my MIL, but no one in the family gets along with my FIL, my parents are the bad inlaws 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ve always been blessed with great in laws..I sometimes liked them more than their son..haha

Love my in-laws! MIL is like another mom to me as well as a dear friend.

I love my in laws! And that whole entire family! I’m very blessed! Can’t say that this was always the case in the past but I guess that things happen for a reason.

I’m very close with my in laws, my mother in law in particular. She’s helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life

1 reply

I can say the same for mines. She’s been there for a lot & there’s nothing in the world I can think of on how to repay her.

I love my in-laws! Sadly, they live 12 hours away but we get along really well when I do get to see them. I have been so blessed in that way.

Plenty of men end up with sucky in-laws too (like my husband), their wives are probably just use to how obnoxious and rude their own family is.

I get along with my in-laws, but like all relationships it takes work. I think some women think they're entitled to be treated like a queen by their in-laws just because they married their son. It doesn't work that way.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 why do certain women think like that? I’ll be happy if they gave me an inch of respect

I obviously wasn't talking about people like you. 🙄 Yes, some people do have terrible in-laws. But some women get treated with the same lack of respect they give their in-laws.

I get along with my mother in law and father in law. I'm that close to my mil she was at both births of her grandchildren. Shes seen alot 😂

My in-laws are cool except mom-in-law 🙄😂🤷🏽‍♀️

Love your name & your baby boy has the name I absolutely love 💙

Thank you! 😊

I’m okay around my mother in law, my father in law passed a couple months before we met. But sometimes it does get shitty and I want to snap out because she thinks she can say what she wants and no one will say anything about it

6 replies

Now my brother in law, I want to kill him. He’s not allowed at our house or anything. He’s a fucking theif.

😭😭😭 It’s like your SO is this great person but then, you meet their family & they seem like the outcast.

I love my in laws! My husband has 5 older siblings, all with families of their own. They accepted me from day 1! Might help that my husband is the baby! 😊 I feel bad for my husband though, I have 3 older sisters. Their husbands are all odd, so the sisters get along well but all 4 husbands just sit in silence on their phones the entire time. It’s so strange how the family dynamic is!

3 replies

You would think it’d be the other way around lol.

I don’t know if it’s because he has 3 sisters and 2 brothers? I only have sisters? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I love my in laws! My MIL and I bonded pretty quickly but my FIL took a little to warm up (he does with everyone). But I got very lucky in the In Law department

I love my in laws. They are great people and so is my SIL. His family isn't close though and only get together on special occasions.

1 reply

My in-laws are the same way. I am the closest w my SIL.

My mother in law is great! I mean, she does live in Libya and we only speak thru my husband, but because of her advice I got massages every day thru my pregnancy :)

1 reply

Aye, momma knows lol

Hateeeeeeeee MIL and her devil daughter! FIL is nice feel sorry that hes stuck in a house with those two though. Been married 3 years and most of our arguments have always revolved around his mother or sister or both. They are rude, disrespectful and try to be controlling over how we choose to live our lives. Even so MIL went to university & is educated, her mentality if sooooo backwards, its astonishing!

1 reply

Lol to the last part. But y’all for sure should distance yourself. Your marriage. Your lives.

My in-laws are genuinely like blood family to me, I can’t picture my life without them 🥰

Our husbands are stuck w us forever 😂
