Does anyone like their in laws?
With all the posts about terrible in laws I was just wondering if anyone actually likes their in laws?!?! I love me in laws. I'm blessed to have such a wonderful immediate and extended family. My mil loves spending time with my boys. She comes over at least once a week and will sleep over. She gets up with the boys in the morning and let's my husband and I sleep in. My fil is a great man also. He's always coming over to visit and do some odd jobs around the house (my husband is not handy at all lol). So anyone else have great in laws?? I figured I'd ask so we can talk positively about our in laws!!!

Nope only like 2 of my bils.... Dh has 3 brothers and 1 sister ..... Can't stand his sister his 3rd brother is in jail and hes alright .... Cant stand my fil hes an alcholic and hes just mean to dh he doesnt ever call him or want anything to do with our kids ... But my sils kids he loves to death .... And mil shes just there I deal with her .... They are just totally different people than what I grew up with .... His extended family like uncles and cousins some are ok but most do the pill and drungs and alchol thing ....
I frikkin love my SOs parents. They accepted me and DD with arms wide open and they're amazing. MIL is always eager to see DD and calls her her granddaughter. The first time DD called her grandma, she lit up and said, "grandma?! Can I be your grandma? I like the sound of that!!" Lol she watches DD, does laundry for us, cooks, and has already offered her childcare services after DS is born and I go back to school. She talks about her granddaughter (my DD) all the time and says how happy she is she finally gets a little girl lol (she has three sons and her oldest son has two boys and now my SO and I are having another boy)
I really like my father in law. My mother in law. Well let's not get started on her. Between her drinking and pain pills. And her now medical Marijuana she is a hot mess. I know medical marijuana can help but with her current addictions it only makes her worse. And to think they will be here for a month when my baby is born.
I've known my husband since I was 14 & I'm 25 now but I feel like my husbands dad thinks I'm still a little teenager sometimes. He's snapped at me a couple of times which really bothers me. They're not horrible people at all but we have definitely had our fights & I would not say I'm close to them at all. They are extremely different from my family and not as warm and loving as my side of the family is so it's hard sometimes :(. All of you are very lucky that have wonderful & caring in laws!
See at cry that's exactly how I feel. I guess I never thought so many people didn't get along with in laws until this app lol
I love my inlaws! Don't get me wrong we have a far from perfect relationship, and we have had our fair share of disagreements! But all in all I am beyond blessed and thankful for them! They are wonderful people:) I feel for some of the ladies on here, it breaks my heart to read some of their horror stories:(
I love my mil now, we had a rocky relationship in the begining. I never hated her just didnt agree with some of her actions and words towards me. Sometimes i get annoyed with her but she probably does with me too lol. It helps living 18 hours from her. Over the years we got use to eachothers attitudes and lifestyles. And after talking to her about bounderies which i shouldve from the begining she respected us and our views. Now things are fine.
They aren't technically my in laws, but they're my children's father's mom and sister. Him and I have separated for good and we never got married (Thank you God). Especially the last two weeks or so they, mostly my MIL have helped me way more than I could or ever should even ask for.
I love my in laws! They are always willing to help us out with whatever we need. Today, my FIL came over since we had someone from our insurance looking at our house for hail damage. Husband was at work so he came & talked to him ? then he ended up getting stung by a wasp and sprayed 2 wasp nest for us. ???
My sil doesn't talk to us for the stupidest reason so can't really say I like her much at the moment. Before she stopped talking to my so and I we got along great even though I didn't always agree with her parenting style.
My mil once told me I needed to spank my kids more, and that they needed to shut the f up. So can't say I really like her either although we are civil now.
I don't like my SO's mom at all. She sends all her money to some dude in Mexico that she meant on fb. Then she calls us asking for money for bills. She assumes we are to pay for her flight to El Salvador whenever she feels like going. She tried to work her way into 'nannying' my daughter because she didn't have any money, and I wouldn't let her watch my dd, but that's a whole other story of why. Then she called my SO the other day and told him "God bless you son, I hope you cry when I die for all the things you have done to me". Uh, like what lady? Like he buys you grocerys? Pays your phone bill? Tries to visit with you every weekend? Takes you places? Etc. and now because he's sick of your s*** , now you want to try to guilt trip him? GTFO!
I don't hate my FIL but he does get on my nerves with all his unnecessary lectures. I feel he needs a parenting/health class instead of telling me how to parent ( he has a 8yo and 4yo). My MIL passed away in 2003 so I never got a change to meet her but everyone says beautiful storied about her and my 5 year old has a bug connection with her you would think they met. My daughter used to tell us her grandma was here with us all the time. ?
My family also love my husband. He's a great man, father and provider for us his family. He works very hard and my parents and step parents all see that!!
My father in law is great. We're actually naming our boys middle name his middle name because he's helped us out so much with my twin pregnancy and just in general. Yea he can be a pain but I really do appreciate him. On the other hand, my mother in law is from hell. I'm not surprised my SOs parents are long divorced lol!
I talk to my husbands mom more then him lol. She will call/text to set up to come visit. She loves her grandkids so much she would do anything for them. My parents also. My mom and I are very close and my dad and step mom are also very close. I love all my brothers/sister in laws as well. I hope one day my own daughters in law would say the same about me lol
I love my in laws as well (not married but together for 6 years so why not?) they have always treated me as a daughter. Sometimes do I get fed up with MiL? Yes, but no more than I do my own mom. His whole family feels like my family and I know they would do anything for us, as we would them!
I have a great mother in law. We just moved from Texas to be closer to them we live like 4 streets away from them. She comes over every other day and helps me with the kids so I can get things done. She even goes to the grocery store with me so I can put the kids on one cart and she will push them around while I shop. She loves me like her own daughter and always tells my husband how lucky he is to have me and for him to always show me how good of a wife and mom I am. I can't say anything bad about her she is the best. And my father in law is good too he is currently helping my husband add on to our house there building a playroom for the kids and expanding our master bedroom just so I can get a big walk in closet and a nice big bathroom. To be honest my mother in law even comes over sometimes and cleans for me so I can rest. She has retired since we moved here to spend time with the grandkids. She is the best.
I like my MIL more than I like my own mother sometimes. LOL. She is an amazing woman and accepted my son and I from the beginning. She lives in South Texas and we live in Kansas City so we only get to see her once or twice a year which sucks. My FIL and his wife are a different story. Lol.
Good to hear some ladies get along with their in laws. Just seeing all these terrible in law posts make me kinda sad. I guess it's just cause my family is so close. My husband and I have been together for 15 years so it's like I've grown up with them as my family as well. My husbands sister is one of my best friends. (I get to watch her twins once a week and I love having my niece and nephew so close to my kids). Happy others have great relationships with in laws as well!!!
Not married but already call SO's parents my in-laws. I love them. They're such sweet people.
My SO doesn't care for my mom, neither do I.(selfish, manipulative, list goes on). He hasn't met my dad yet but he already likes him just based off what I talk about and small conversations they have over the phone.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I am very lucky to have amazing in laws. They are helpful without being overbearing. They respect our choices and roles as parents. My girls love them very much.
