Do you like your spouse's family?

I can honestly say I dont like my in-laws one bit! My mother in law makes no attempts to see our children. The last time she saw them was almost 2 years ago. We are strapped with money and live only 4 hours away. My parents come up every 2-4 months depending on whats happening. My father in law lives right up the street and see our children MAYBE once every month if we're lucky. Everyone in my husbands family favor my stepson. They say "It's because he's in a different situation then your girls" umm... and that makes it okay to spoil him and only see him and not your grand-daughters? I dont even favor my girls just because they are my children and my stepson isnt blood related. They are all my children regardless. My parents even treat my stepson like family and not differently just because he's not mine. So, I would have to say yes, there are people in his family I dont care for and it would be all of them!

Hi mermaid...Actually my spouse's family hates me and made that quite clear with the descriptive words they have used to describe me. After two and a half years of marriage they have chosen to ignore us and so they are missing out on their son being very happy and also their beautiful grandson! It is absolutely their choice and I'm sorry they made such a hurtful and hateful choice. However there is nothing that my husband and I can do about it.

Hello mermaidivy, I am not sure whether I am pretty lucky or unfortunate one. Since my husband is a foreign guy and he is staying in my country, I don't have a chance to live together or get to know his family especially his parents pretty well. I met my in laws once and that was before I get married to him. Just a casual meeting and I can't really figure out what kind of persons they really are... Communication is a big hassle as we don't speak the same language and they don't speak English too.

My Hubby's family is like my family. I really get along well with his mom & am on good terms with all of his family and extended family. Though he's not the craziest about my family but there are not as many people on my side left as I'm the only kid on my moms side.

My fiance and I have no problems with each other's family. We accept everyone's faults, including our own. I know that it's completely different for some from going to bf and gf and hardly seeing the respective families, to being fiance and seeing them all the time. However, for myself and my fiance we were dating and still were close to each other's families. Maybe not as close as some, but I live with my fiance and his parents and have even before we got engaged. It was of course awkward at first, but I was emerged into their lifestyle, which is very similar to the way I was raised, so I got used to it fast. Sorry for this rambling, lol.

i am very lucky since my hubby's family all are sooooooooo kind.especially my mom in law treat me as her daughter.so we get along very well.i have heard many lover or couple were broke for the bad relationship with spouse's family.

Well we have our own stories to tell about meeting the relatives and family of our beloved better half. This is my own story, I met them 2006 when I came in this country, India. I was a foreigner now living in this country for quite some time. For me their family is not that close to each other not like my own family and my own relatives back home in Philippines. If I can just rate it, 10 as the highest, i would give only 6. Yes only six, since I am not that close because we live in a separate house. We only visit them every time hubby has his off day at work and if I am needed to renew my visa. My sister in law has her own world. For me, she is so selfish and much more favored by my in-laws rather than my hubby. She lives with my in laws on a self detached house with her hubby who they always fight when we are around and we sometimes are the referee. My mother in law is not as loving wife like my mom. My MIL is not close to my FIL, they also sleep separately. So I guess this family of my hubby is really not close to each other , but I just thanked God that we still are here to help them as hubby monthly supports them because his dad retired already. My hubby is very much different to his folks. He is the exact opposite of all the characters of his family. That is my story for now.
