what is it with the IN-LAWS?

[kateambers123]

What is it with the in-laws? It seems like majority of people i know have some sort of issue with their in-law(s). Its all usually similar reasons as well. Ugh i envy those who have great relationships with their in laws because that to me, is so RARE! and seems nearly impossible to me Lol. Damn those annoying in-laws that just love to make our lives harder than it already is! :*(

I envy those who have a relationship with their in-laws, good or annoying. My husband's dad left when he was a kid, and his mom left when she found out I was pregnant (husband informed her that he intended to put his kids first). I would love to have a family to talk to, have my kids interact with and be loved by. Yes, in-laws can be very annoying, just as annoying and bothersome as the family you grow up with. But, the majority of the time, they just want what's best for the kids.

Josh lived with his mom most of his life, his dad was never around after they got divorced. Then he didn't want to have anything to do with my husband and I until I was pregnant. I don't much care for him because of this but he does love his grandsons and I'm not going to keep them from knowing their grandfather.

Well that last comment was very rude! I don't even know if I would say that to someone I know, let alone someone I do know. You don't even know the circumstances this woman has endured.
Wow, I have issues with my in-laws because they are all about money and what benefits them (although they are close to bankrupt and still won't sell their many many properties). They come visit once in a great while (which WE pay for the plane tickets) and then sit around the house watching TV, never attempting to play with their grandson in which they have bitched about not seeing.
Then, they drive my poor husband (stay at home dad) nuts by making rude comments and stating that what we have isn't good enough (in a nonchalant way) although we have a beautiful new home, etc. These are people who want too much, have little and nothing is good enough. The only people they think are successful is my husband's 19 year old brother who works under the table at a mexican restaurant and lives with his mommy who just moved in his 21 year old girlfriend of 3 months in with the "cutest little baby boy". NICE, good parenting!!

Ugh yours is about in laws who have little yet want so much. While for me, its more like they think because they have money they can brag all they want and try to act as if they are better than me and just putting me down and my family down as well. In laws.. theres always some sort of drama with them.

Oh Kate, you said a mouthful! My inlaws (FIL and 2nd wife)look down upon me too. It has to do with money. We tolerate, for a better word, each other. We get along but it is not close, you know.

My parents like my husband alot. My hubby takes good care of us.

My MIL is sweet....rocky beginning but she is sweet. She understands alot of emotional things.

i think its great that you get along with your MIL because i feel like thats the most important "in-law" relationship to have since she's the mother of your husband. But if you dont have a relationship with her (which i know quite a few people that just cant seem to stand their MIL), then it just makes family life sucks.

[freckles]

Kate, you are right about female relationships in the family being important to me as well. My MIL is great and the kids love her. But like I said, rocky at first. so how long have you been married? I ask because it took my mil and I a few years for us to be girlfriends.
My FIL's wife is good to, it is just being the better person is hard when you know they snub you. The day has came when my husband actually saw and realized what I was talking about! That was very relieving.
