Meeting the in-laws

I try to be an independent sort of person. As such, I have no special memory of first introducing my wife to my parents. If they were to say anything negative, that would be their loss. It is hard enough to find someone who loves you without also requiring that your parents be suitably ga-ga.

I have met mine both my mother in law and father in law but both are deceased and have been for over 13 years now. Me and my mother in law didn't see eye to eye on nothing from house cleaning ways to the way I cooked or read. I had known my in laws from a young age of 6. They lived just down the road from us while I was growing up and I had a huge crush on my husband when I was twelve which turned to love and we started dating when I was almost 16 and then later married a year later. My mother in law told my husband not to marry me..lucky me he didn't listen. Cause I couldn't imagine where I would be today if I hadn't married him almost 18 years ago.

Yes. I met my in-laws years ago. Most of them did not accept me at first and some of them still don't. My mother-in-law is the only one that really accepted me after some years passed.

I met mine shortly after hubby and I started dating. As I'm sure you're aware I don't get along with them well. I did at one point, I used to actually want to take MIL with us when we went somewhere like the zoo. But then I got to know her better and realized she's controlling and childish. I think it started around when I was pregnant for my twins... she wanted to call the shots with the baby shower and I didn't like what she was doing, so I took over. She spent the entire shower moping around as if I'd called her a horrible name! Hubby met my family before we were even dating... actually not long before. He came to my party that I planned for me and my son because our birtdays are 1 day apart. All my family was there. He and I were chatting, because we were good friends, and my step mom came up to us and asked how long had we been datin for. Oddly enough it wasn't embarassing at all, we just said flat out we're not dating, and she says "Well, you should be". About a week later we were dating.
