resless_me 06-20-2007, 12:32 AM I think this is the right section for this..
Do you get along with your In laws?
ANNNND
When your SO is away, how often do you talk with his family?
inmansgirl06 06-20-2007, 12:35 AM well DH is here, and I dont really ever talk to his parents, and he talks to my mom when she wants to talk to him. my MIL and I have or good days and bad when we are around eachother.
SchlegelsBaby 06-20-2007, 12:39 AM For the most part I get along with my future mother in law, but when Andy starts talking about me and the plans that we have she gets mad. Once upon a time she said, "Wife trumps mom all the time and I wouldn't have it any other way." Lately, she's been getting upset because Andy isn't agreeing with what she believes we should do.
When I haven't upset her, it's usually a daily basis thing.
MichelleB 06-20-2007, 12:40 AM I love my in-laws! I usually talk to them more than my husband does :lol
HEIDI 06-20-2007, 12:42 AM I do except when she smokes in my house... I have a huge issue with that.... It is simply out of respect. She smokes we don't, we don't like it in our house. She sat in my kitchen puffing away when she came to visit, after me repeatedly asking to to not smoke, and buying a nice patio table with chairs and an umbrella.... the chairs hurt her ass, she said... LOL
Jennie 06-20-2007, 12:47 AM His father, not a chance - can't stand him.
His mom, we have our moments. She's incredibly opinionated and likes things done exactly her way, no ifs ands or buts about it. I don't think she realizes when she's stepping on toes or hurting people's feelings. Other days, we're like best friends. I guess it all depends on what's going on in life. If nothing important, we're fine. Being pregnant, I honestly try not to talk to her because she's trying to control it in a sense.
resless_me 06-20-2007, 12:52 AM See, i live with his mom and step dad and am around the as much as im around my own parents. I cant stand his real dad except for brief dinners or lunches, but i love his step mom. i dunno, i kinda find it weird, that we get along so well.
Wicked 06-20-2007, 01:00 AM I get along with my FIL and his wife. They are great. My MIL though, I can't stand her.
Aurora 06-20-2007, 01:17 AM I get along with both of his parents and step-parents. I know his mom and step-dad much better but I don't talk to either of them that often.
Miss B Hav'n 06-20-2007, 01:33 AM I get along very well with my in-laws. They truly are like a second family to me. We talk to them at least once a week whether DH is home or away - in fact, during his deployments they tended to call/e-mail more often just to keep me company.
I like his whole family. I talk to one of his sisters and mom the most- and that isn't too often... Maybe 1-2 times a month and that's with him home or away.
familyof4 06-20-2007, 01:45 AM I better get along with them being as though I live with them right now.!! :) I really do love them and they are great people.
I talk to them all the time and I work with my mother-in-law. We are around each other all day. We have our bad days but for the most part its awesome!
jlbecker 06-20-2007, 09:21 AM yes i get along with my inlaws. but we're not super-close. we love each other, but i just don't feel totally comfortable talking to them on the phone alot. i talk to his mom about twice a month when he's away. i don't call his dad much cause he's not really a phone person. i should call his sister every once in a while. we're staying with them this weekend, so we'll see.
=Mrs.AiNokeA= 06-20-2007, 09:26 AM I get along pretty well with my MIL and talk to her every so often when he is deployed. She calls me since I am her link to him and can tell her how he is and what's going on. :giggle Now my FIL is a different story.. he acts pretty nice to me but he is an ignorant asshole to so many people. I can go on and on with stories about him which I have done in a thread similar to this one but I won't go into all that again lol. :D
harrisonsdream 06-20-2007, 09:28 AM yep my in laws and i get along great. when dh is gone we email probably 2 or 3 times a week and talk once
Bowman'sWifey 06-20-2007, 09:32 AM I Love my daddy-in-law but the mother-in-law im not so crazy about, she has said some mean stuff to me but we are getting a little closer but its taken some time. I talk to my daddy-in-law almost everyday. I dont know what I would do with out him right now.
sgmwife1 06-20-2007, 09:53 AM No and never
Pebbles 06-20-2007, 11:33 AM Yes.
I've never really got on with them. I'm friendly with his dad and step-mom but we don't keep in touch while dh's away. The biological mom is currently building bridges so things aren't quite as bad as they used to be. She'll email me every so often.
proudofmysailor 06-20-2007, 09:32 PM I get along very well with DH's dad and stepmother, his mother is a little harder to get a long with.
Jennifer 06-20-2007, 09:37 PM eh, I get along. I am getting to like his mother more and more each week, she is finally growing up and acting like an adult, so we get along now.
Armylove 06-20-2007, 09:40 PM Yes I get a long with them, DH isnt gone, But I talk to my MIL and my SIL a few times a week.
chelsea<3josh 06-20-2007, 11:38 PM not married yet but my future in-laws are amazing. i get along great with both of his parents, i talk to his mom weekly and we email almost daily. while im not close to his dad, i really do like him and we get along great but i don't call him to chat :lol i really couldn't be luckier when it comes to db's family.
Ashnbri 06-21-2007, 12:06 PM I get along pretty much with all of DH's family...I don't really have a relationship with his father or brother...but we don't have any problems with each other we just don't talk. When DH is away I usually talk to his sister and mom maybe once a month.
USMCsweetheart 06-21-2007, 06:13 PM I'm not sure if I've already posted in here and I don't care to spend the time looking but HELL NO! I hate my MIL. She's evil!
Nicci 06-22-2007, 11:05 AM His mum is a pathological liar so we don't talk to her, its not with the drama. DH has told her that if she will behave and tell his brothers the truth about all the lies she told them about him and us, then she can be in his life.
His dad...he's actually his step dad, he's never met his real dad. His stepdad is awesome and we adore each other. I also keep in touch with one of his cousins and his grandparents, they all love me. It's just his mum (who is threatened by me or something) and his brothers (who were told a pack of lies by his mum) that don't talk to us.
bunkie 06-22-2007, 11:24 AM Yes I do. His mom is like a mom to me. We talk about once a week.
Trescha 06-22-2007, 11:29 AM I love DH's dad and stepmom and talk with them about 3x a week since dustin has been gone. :)
His mom and stepdad...i just stand her because its his mom. she is SO rude and nosy and wants to know EVERYTHING. And i only talk to her when she calls me and i feel like talking to her! ha
world~of~mirth 06-24-2007, 10:36 PM His mom and stepdad... not so much. She doesn't even call really now that he is in Iraq. I would think she would since her granddaughter is here. She also came to see us all the freaking time when Chuck was home but now that he is gone not a peep about seeing us. His dad and stepmom I get along with really well. I love them both even though we did recently get in a tiff. They are awesome. I talk to them all the time.
AshleyJ 06-24-2007, 10:39 PM I didn't get along w/ mine at first, but now me and the MIL talk all the time. Idk what it'll be like when he goes again though, but last time we weren't close at all so never talked. :shrug
