Do you get along with your in-laws or gf/bf parents?

I was thinking today about in-laws and how it is pretty much true about how mother in laws drive you nuts.

I love my future mother in-law a lot she is so funny, kind, but this woman is very selective about what she says around me to make sure she isn't stepping on my toes, other times though she is overbearing and controlling. I just can't win. My future father in-law adores me and is always up to giving advice not forcing advice... in fact if I was older I would marry him!

So, dish on your in-laws and your gf/bf parents.

 

my girlfriend's parents have never given me one scrap of trouble...



my mom has a better story... her father in law tried to convince her to leave her husband for him...

 

It's funny, I've had two girlfriends in the past whose parents were habitual racists. Of course, in the end we ended up loving each other.

I never got to meet the grandparents though--- that was a move we didn't make!

 

I never met a bf's parents.

 

yes but i don`t really like them actually. they are way to conservative for my taste

 

Good move!

 

parents always like me. it's actually really weird

every friend I have, boy or girl, ends up telling me "my mom loved you"

 

I know.

 

My last meaningful relationship ended due to a nutjob mother-in-law-to-be...

They are nuts.

 

my girlfriends mom is the most picky woman I have ever met

I don' really like her.

Her dad is cool, but then I think of how he puts up with her and makes me wonder

 

my boyfriends parents are dead.

i get along great with my ex husbands parents. in fact i'm going to their house with my boyfriend for thanksgiving dinner.

 

haha me too!!

I used to visit friend's and sit down in their living room talking to the parents while everybody hung out in the backyard.

I dont know John's dad, but I've talked to him on the phone. I do know his mom and I really like her and I think she likes me too. And she got our tickets to go to the Yes concert too , she's always nice to me. I used her as a reference for my job and everybody was like "oh Christine spoke very highly of you".
My favorite people in John's family are probably his grandparents, they are do cool. Specially John's mom mom and she told me that I could call her mom mom and she listens to cool music (hello, Genesis!) and his pop pop always has cool stories. They are so nice, I love them, they are two of the coolest people I ever met.
Actually most of John's family is really cool. I love his aunt, ahhh I forget her name. Im so bad with names, Shane's mom. She's so cool and funny.
I love John's little brother and sisters. The youngest, Jane, always reminds me of me as a kid.

 

Yes, everytime I talk to them on the phone they tell me I am the best thing that ever happened to their son. His grandma said i am a blessing Andy got for turning his life inthe right direction and joining the Navy.
I'm always like; seriously? I so got the good end of this deal...Andy is a blessing to me. I tell them how responsible he is and how lucky I am and they seem a little lost. I don't think they know him as an adult very well.

 

Oh let me take that back. His dad is pissed at me for eloping and not wanting a big wedding. They wanted to throw us a big wedding...but I am really shy around people I don't know.
Instead...we got married in jeans in a chapel on Virginia St in Reno...it was bizarre and I was really drunk, but it was fun. It makes for a great story.

 

But none of you guys have like... intruding mother in laws?

I think after the baby is here I think a lot will change. And again don't get me wrong I love her. I think she is just upset I took away her baby.

 

Yeah about the wedding Andy's mom was intruding.
I wrote her a letter explaining my feelings and how I am a very anxious person and was just totally honest with her. She never mentioned about the wedding or making me have a shower after that. her heart was int he right place. I know mostly she wanted the wedding to show off, but I also know she wanted us to have a nice wedding.
My mom is actually the more intrusive one. I told her I couldn't come down for christmas...so she is packing up her and the dogs and driving here...and now wants this huge elaborate dinner when it's just going to be the three of us.
I told her I am cooking turkey, stuffing, veggies and am going to buy christmas pudding (my mom's british) and that's all we're having because I am not going to allow anyone to be stressed out.
I also told her if she says my house is dirty or starts cleaning it her visit isn't going to work out.
I love my mom to death, but I can see it becoming a huge power struggle between her and Andy if I don't set out the rules before hand for both of them.

 

I don't have a bf. So they don't exist. Thus we get alot GREAT.
They love me. Its true.

 

Daniel's parents adore me, lol. His dad always goes way out of his way to make me feel welcome, after 3 and a half years you'd think he wouldn't do that anymore, but he still does, lol. And I've known Daniel's mom longer than I've known him. She worked with my grandma at a little restaurant most of my childhood and went to high school with my mom. She took me shopping one time when she could've taken Daniel's sister instead. That made me feel soooo good. And she always remembers my birthday and always knows what to get me, even though she swears she just blindly picks things out. The only thing that bugs me about her is her nagging me to nag Daniel about various things, lol.

At my parents' house, there is a picture of my mom at prom and she is sitting in this wicker chair with Daniel's mom and two of their friends behind her, and when Daniel and I were going through his family pictures, I found the same pic but Daniel's mom is in the chair and my mom's behind her. It's crazy, lol. I plan on doing something with those two pictures on our wedding day as a present to both of our moms.

 

my boyfriend's parents are walking contradictions

i love them to death, though, and they have always been extremely kind to me. they let me live with them for a year.....

 

I see them about once or twice a year and it’s good.
