I LOVE my wife's family! I was worried they might not approve of me, but they think I'm awesome and I think they're the most wonderful family I never had (but always wanted).
My wife never got to meet my dad, but she loved my mom while Mom was still alive.

I love my in laws they have always treated me as a son. It's just too bad we live far away and we don't get to see them much.

I'm not a fan of my sibling's in-laws. Does that count?
03/30/2013
I love my in-laws, we get along great. My husband gets along great with my parents, too.

I don't see them everyday but they seem fine to me.

They're the best! I'm really lucky to feel like I like them on a personal level (not just obligatory) and it's mutual.

I got along really well with my husband Mom, but unfortunately, she passed away a few years ago. His dad is a totally different story. If I never saw him again it would be too soon!

I loved both of my inlaws although my MIL has passed away. My FIL is like a Dad to me and is dying of terminal cancer right now. It's very hard because he's a wonderful man and a great Pa Pa to my kids.

My MIL passed away just a few months after we got married so I never really got to know her. My FIL is okay but we don't see eye to eye on a lot of things including my kids.

I get along with my MIL. Sometimes better than others.

I get along better with my in laws than I do with my own parents. We even vacation atleast once a year with my in laws. I really got lucky with great in laws!!

I love my in-laws. I got lucky

My in-laws are not likable people but I really don't feel one way or the other about them. I don't know them, by their choice, so it's a non-issue.

My family, however, actively abused my husband over the years so he has far more emotion invested in them.

I'm okay with both my inlaws. My hubby doesn't like one and is okay with the other.

Voted for the hubby as well.
I love my mother and father in law, and they love me. Now my hubby...He loves his father in law...but he hates his mother in law.

My mother in law changed drastically when she started drinking heavily. After dealing with it for several years--I had enough after she kept telling me she was going to break up my marriage to her son if it was the last thing she ever did. We might break up--but it will not be due to her b.s.!!! It would be due to our inability to work through the issues that seem to plague us....

I like my in-laws. I dont think I could live with them, but I do like to spend time with them.

I chose other. I love his dad and dad's girlfriend - I feel very at home and they feel like a second family.
I don't necessarily DISLIKE his mom...but it's a love/hate relationship. I know she means well, but she's just so different than I am, or the way I grew up that it's really hard to see eye to eye with her. I'm polite and always just let her talk or do her thing, but inside I feel like going off on her a lot of the time - especially when she questions my parenting or tells me how to do it! She's also very critical of her son, and I hate that - it bothers him and makes me feel terrible for him. He has come so far and has so much to be proud of, but she can only see the things he hasn't done or the things she'd like to see him do. His father on the other side is just happy we're happy, and they love their grandbaby and let us raise her the way we feel is best!

I hate to say that I "hate" my inlaws, but I don't care for them at all.
They've treated my husband and I poorly, and have acted immature and selfish.
My husband isn't super-close to his parents, so it's not too bad, and we don't have contact with them very often. I don't feel like they're actually family in any way, and they haven't acted like they're interested in having any close relationship with us.The only time when they contact my husband is because they want something from him/us.
So I'm fine with keeping my distance.
Luckily my husband loves my parents and they love him, he likes to spend time with them and it's a really good situation.

SO i dont mind my mother in law, but her husband is a pain in the ass. Super annoying, wont shut up, racist, he drives me insane. sadly my father in law died when we were 16

Like mine. Lucky? Sometimes my folks drive me nuts.
04/02/2013
my mother in law is a bit strange, although i don't dislike her i don't trust her
04/02/2013
Disclaimer, I've never actually met them in person because they live half a world away--but they love me and we talk on the phone once in awhile. They seem like wonderful people and I'd like to meet them one day.

We all get along really well not a family that has to cling to each other so at parties or holidays is a great way to catch up and have fun

Mine are good, reasonable interesting in-laws. They are even easy to associate with than my own blood relatives. We meet often during the year for breakfast, sometimes the now adult kids join us sometimes not.
