Do your inlaws think that you don't like them?

**lucy979** · 01-24-2003, 01:49 PM

Mine do and I'm not exactly sure why. Obviously if I had to chose which family to spend time with I would chose my own, but my DH would chose his own too. I so like his family. I get really quiet around them most of the time because I just don't spend that much time with them so I don't open up to them. I was pretty close to his sister for a little while but then we just stopped talking all the time. I really don't know where I am going with this! LOL I just wanted to know if there was something I could do to make them now that I do like them. Ok, I'm done rambling!

I really like Malcom's family and they all like me except his mom!!! I won't even go into the details of why!! No sweat off of my back!!

**Sara Noel** · 01-24-2003, 01:58 PM

Mine know I don't.

We're all nice nice, but it's obvious we dislike each other. It's a very painful situation whenever we are all together. Last visit wasn't too bad though. They only stayed two days and they slept most of it. LMAO
Let me just say this....could someone please inform my MIL that the umbilical cord was cut a LONG time ago???

Ok, that's probably enough info. LOL

**Daphne** · 01-24-2003, 02:11 PM

Sara...I'm right there with you with the whole umbilical cord issue. In fact, Malcom left today to be with his "mommy". It's sick!! Ok..that was my tiny rant of the day!!

**lucy979** · 01-24-2003, 02:18 PM

I guess it's ok Daphne! But that is the only rant you are allowed for today! LOL

My mil looooovvvveeesss me!

She on the other hand is not my favorite person. But I have to take into consideration she is 87 years old, extremely opionated and very set in her ways!

My dh faithfully calls his mom every morning to check on her at 7 am! It usually lasts only about 30 seconds and she hangs up when she is done talking. No goodbye nothing!

Now when she talks to me, she won't shut up and always says goodbye!

My dh wants to know how I rate???

We went to her apt. a couple of weeks ago, dh mentioned he had a headache, then left the room for a couple of minutes. She said to me to go in the cabinet and get him some tylenol!

I think she forgets he is 59 years old!

Oh well, I guess a Mom will be a Mom her entire life!

I like My MIL but that could be because I have only seen her once and that is when I meet her when we were still dating before we got married.But she lives in a small town in upstate New York and I live in South Carolina so I don't have much contact with her except by email sometimes.Now my BIL and his wife who live next door is a completely different story.

I have nice inlaws....... Not gooey, sticky nice, but they love me & I love them !

**Katybird** · 01-28-2003, 03:40 PM

I like my inlaws. They moved to the same small town that we live in after we moved here but they are very nice and not nosy or pushy. I actually don't spend a lot of time with them but DH is an only child so he spends time with them everyday and if he doesn't go see them, he calls them.

I think that my inlaws know that I like them but that I am just not "goin' visitin' " kind of person.

Blessings,
Kathy

hmmm interesting question. My fil loves me dearly and my MIL did when she was alive, my DH's extended family (aunt's, uncle's and cousins) love me as do my neices and nephews. The sticky part is my DH's 3 brothers who don't appear to like me very much. I'm not exactly sure why I suspect it is because I ignore them because of their rude behaviour and the fact that I am obviously my FIL's favorite. We have it worked out now to where a couple of days is all I am going to subject myself to them and DH is comfortable with that. Thankfully they live 1000 miles away which makes it easier. Just as a side note, they are not going to like it very much in a few years when we ask my FIL to live with us.

I have come to a cross roads with my inlaws. They tolerate me and I tolerate them. It's all for the kids sake. They are nice to me because I gave them 4 grandchildren (soon to be 5) and I am nice to them because they are good to the kids. Do we like each other? Like is a pretty strong word lol. Amy

Mommyof2lildivas · 02-07-2003, 05:01 PM

Oh, this is hot topic for me or used to be. When I first married my hubby, they accepted me for his sake, but I was never considered a part of his family, and they were really tightnit. Over the years things have gotten better and now we have a better understanding. I like them, I think they like me, but we do much better apart. When we're all together they are much more interested in my hubby, then they are me and the kids.

**MANDERS** · 02-07-2003, 06:05 PM

I get along with Jason's parents.My mil and I talk like 5 times a day.His dad is a hoot.Some things I totaly don't like but I'm sure there are things they don't like about me.I just ignore them.Mil and I have so much incommon,no wonder dh married me

On the other hand if you asked dh this question or my mom for that matter,he can't stand her.lol

**kittykatstrong** · 10-14-2008, 12:03 AM

My MIL thinks that I dont like her but I just dont talk when she is around.

**jamie79** · 10-14-2008, 10:52 AM

They are dead and have been since dh and I have been together so no issues there. His brother and I get along and his sisters we have seen once in over a decade. It was a nice visit and if its another decade before we see them again, thats good
