Unfortunately my husband wasn't really able to say anything to him. His father is the type of person that will just go on even longer if you dispute what he is saying. I believe that is part of his military background that makes him like that, however, I don't understand what is wrong with our house when you consider that I'm doing what I can.

I can completely see where yourself and your mother-in-law would have a differing of opinions concerning your child. It seems like parenting styles are the most common source of disputes between in-laws.

What I think is that he expects me to be able to do things with military precision and that isn't possible for me because I don't have that kind of a background. I am satisfied if things are good enough that I'm not embarrased to show it to my friends. We've only moved into our house seven months ago and there are still things that I haven't gotten completely the way that I want them, but with ...

Wow, I can see where that would be a huge problem. Being grandparents to my children is actually one of the things that has been eating away at me for a while now as well. When our daughter was born, she'll be seven in two weeks, they were always ultra involved in her life to the point of even having her come spend the night with them when she was two weeks old. However, with our second child, ...

I wish that I was able to do that with my in-laws.

I don't feel that anyone has that right either. It is wrong in my opinion and it is still really bothering me. As a matter of fact, he called yesterday to talk to Tom and I answered the phone (he has changed his cell phone number so I didn't recognize it). He acted like I was some random person answering the phone instead of someone that he has known for years.

You sound a lot like my mother. My father passed away 14 years ago and my mother still has a really good relationship with my dad's side of the family. I am glad that things went that way as well because when my dad died I was afraid that we would lose that entire side of the family.

This is all great advice and I very much welcome it. I have been making an effort to try to get the house spotless because of the conversation that he had with Tom the other night. I am always fueled my someone saying that I can't do something so I'm really trying to change it. That trait about me goes way back and is probably something about myself that will never change.

How neat to have known your in-laws for such a long time. I really like both of my brothers-in-law and we all get along very well. My husband is the oldest of three children. The four of us are able to cut up like children and have a good time in general.

Thank you so much for this. You've really given me what I needed to see. I didn't think it was just myself that has problems with my in-laws, because I know that it happens to a lot of people. I said that the result of it is that I won't be taking my daughter up there to their house, instead they will have to come get her from my house so that they can see what I'm doing to straighten ours out....
