Random question How do you all feel about your mother in-laws or in-laws period ? I see so many movies, commercials, & tv shows where the couples on there absolutely dread having to have any kind of interaction with their in-laws, and I find it quite interesting because I honestly love mine. Just curious as to how you all feel.

I love my in laws, they’re always so nice to me and welcoming whenever I see them, I guess it depends on everybody and the relationships you might have with them.

@BrayChaseM I guess this doesn’t answer your question since it comes from the other side of the story. My sister, my mother and I dislike my brothers fiancé, but now that they’re getting married we actually are making our utmost best to see the good in her and give her a fair chance. He loves her and that’s all that matters, and we want to try and see it too, and are going into it ready & eager to change our minds

@luaptsae yes I feel the same way! I’ve never felt uncomfortable or unwanted by them but yes I guess it’s different depending on the person.

@kitty_18 oh wow, that’s a different situation. I completely understand tho because I am very protective over my brothers. I really hope you all are able to see the good in her. I pray she has good intentions.

Not in laws yet, but my boyfriends family are so lovely and warm and kind, they have welcomed me into the family instantly. And it's not just his immediate family but also his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who have been amazing to me

Not in laws yet, but i’m okay with my boyfriends family. I’m not 100% with them. We come from very different backgrounds and I think there’s always going to the judgment there. We can speak, get along well and we are civil but it does seem like there’s always going to be something underlining which will never make us close close. I love his stepdad and his dad, they’re both really lovely. His mum is the judgmental one and can try to be very controlling of my boyfriends life in weird ways..

Mother in law is cool! We arent close or anything but definitely can hold a conversation and feel welcome but father in law I don't have much to do with him at all,since he lives 3 hours away but tbh I think he avoids me 😬

I think its overplayed in movies but movies also want conflict and in-law problems are not an uncommon source of conflict. Personally I like my boyfriends family.

No in laws yet but I get along great with my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years parents/family. He lives with them still so I’ve always around them pretty often and they consider me like the daughter they never had (they raised 3 boys) and they’re like my second parents, I can sometimes talk with his mom about stuff I don’t even talk to my own mom about. It definitely sometimes can happen where in laws are too much or controlling or don’t approve but it’s not as common as movies would have you think.

@Tiff10 My situation is the opposite! My boyfriends mum also raised 3 boys and that makes it more difficult to talk to her! I don’t think she knows how to talk too/‘deal with’ girls because she’s so used to all boys...

@goosebumps that’s a shame I’m sorry to hear that! My bfs mom enjoys it, she loves having someone to go get pedicures with and talk about purses/ wines/ fashion/ hair/ etc and relate with. Hopefully his mom learns to adjust.

@Tiff10 Aww I can imagine how lovely that is. I’m glad you have that! 💓
