I have never met anybody who has actually gotten along with their in laws that well and unfortunately I am one of those people. I do get along with my father in law but not my mother in law, well they are not together anymore so that probably has something to do with it. Any how I just really wondered do people actually have this wonderful relationship with their in laws like they show on television or is it like that movie Monster in Law because my mother in law is pretty much like that one.

I dont have in laws yet but am in the process of making in laws and want to have good relations with them but it always depend upon your partner what s/he wants from you. If your husband or wife is OK with relation to their parents, brothers and sisters then there should be no problem with that and you should try to have good relations. But if s/he dont want, as s/he knows better about his/her parent, then you should not try it because your partner ll always seek your care and safety and I think it is necessary for your relationship to listen to each other and get lesson from each other experience...:) Have a good day...:)

That is great advice and actually the odd thing is that I get along very well with my partners dad who my partner really does not get along with and with his mom he adores her and she can do no wrong even if she is wrong, she doesn't like me. Maybe she doesn't like me because I point out when her son is doing wrong and tell her he needs to straighten up because I guess she is not use to hearing that since she thinks she is perfect and so is he, lol. I try but you are right sometimes it is better to just leave things be and just listen to him and let him think what he wants. Thanks so very much for the good advice and for responding to my topic.

Come to think of it, you're right. Every one of my relationship, her parents never really liked me. Except for that one relationship i've had. Her sister liked me too but in a different way so that doesn't count. Lol

LOL!!! You are too funny and I wonder why her parents didn't like you hmmmm can't think of why, lol. You seem like a cool person though and I guess sometimes it just happens that way. I was married before and for some reason the mom's never ever like me but yet the fathers adore me. I can't figure out why but I have always gotten along better with men than women.

Yes, I really do get along with my inlaws. I really love my in-laws. I certainly could not ask for better in laws. I'm glad that I actually get along with my in laws. It's really nice that this is the case.

You are so so lucky I wish I got along with both of mine. For some reason I just clash with my mother in law and it's not like I am mean to her. Any how thanks for the response.

Yes, I was quite lucky with my in-laws too. I wouldn't say we held the same views on everything but we each respected the others opinion and there were never any ugly scenes.

That is great that you get along with your in laws and I try to get along with mine but for some reason the mother in law really does not care for me. Oh, well I guess that is the way the cookie crumbles.

I am not close to my father in law..But my husband and my dad are slightly close but my husband are much closer to my mom. They have the same likes and they have same opinion in what i do. I think it is because they have same birthday so they have the same attitude.. My dad is only slightly close because he have different likes. Actually my mom and dad always have arguments about their like and don;t like unlike in my husband and my mom,they have the same likes always...
