In-Laws...Trouble and Strife, or Nicer Life
Other
I have two sons with two wonderful wives who are like daughters without the in-law attached. I love them dearly and far from losing my sons upon marriage they are encouraging and helpful in keeping my relationship with them and their families. I am so lucky. When I read of the hassle some families have with in-laws it really upsets me.
Do you get on with your in-laws, be they sister, mother, daughter, father etc?
I did get on with my ex mother till I broke up with him since then she came out with she never liked me lol always singing me praises tho for sorting her son out
Leannexxx I suppose the only good thing about that was that she wasn't openly hostile while you were together. One of my sons had a previous gf who I really disliked (older than him with grown kids) but I still treated her as one of the family knowing it would fizzle out, which of course it did.
I had a brilliant first mother in law, always helpful but not interfering and willing to be helped. The second one will accept no help whatsoever even though it would be to her advantage. As for sibling in laws she stopped speaking when her brother and I split, my sibling/children cut contact when I remarried in June.
I am always surprised when people don't get on with their in laws, how does something like that work in the long run.
I have mostly got on with in-laws but not always. Father in law gone now and mum in law in dementia care home so a bit different. Husband has 3 sisters and I have a bit of trouble with the eldest one. The others are fine.
My mother in law is like a 2nd mother to me. Before my husbands Granny passed away she was my Granny also. She insisted I called her Granny and she used to tell people I was her Grand daughter, she never used in law. Brother in law is like a wee brother to me. Husband and my dad are always at the football together. We often have family dinners.
I get on very well with my husband father ( my father in law) so much so the other day he was trying to ‘tinger’ my bottom while I was getting on my shoes. He is 92!
eyeballkerry I am so sorry but I couldn't help laughing at that. Makes you wonder what he got up to when younger!
I don't get on with my father in law, he's always been difficult to get on with, we got into a fight a few years back, which ended badly for him, i don't like him and how he treats other people

my comment like a short story
I always got on really well with my partner 's little Irish Mammy Evelyn,she spent lots of time with me & our daughter while my partner was at work, she gave excellent advice & never interfered...
My partner 's brother's ex partner married a lovely man from her church & all three used to sit down & eat Christmas Dinner together as they got on soo well...
janphoenix51 I am glad to hear that so many have good in law relationships. I hear of so many disparaging, mainly, mother in laws about daughters in law and vice versa.
I get on perfectly with my MIL. Infact all my in laws. I no longer have my parents or grandparents here but my in laws are as good as a second parents/grandparents to me. My MIL was incredible supportive during my parents illness and would often visit my mam during her hospital stays. They became friends. I love my in laws dearly
Glitterandgold that's wonderful so glad you have them as your own family are no longer here. I do love it when people get on well, especially relations.
