How is your relationship with your in-laws ?

Hi! You see respect begets respect. I have deep respect for my in laws, be it my parents in law, brother in law or sister in law. I talk to them as I would do with my own parents, brother or sister. I feel that if I pay them respect and regards, they would definitely reciprocate the same.

Although I am not married I do live with my boyfriend for almost 8 years. His mother, sister, brother and I get along wonderfully. I speak to his mother often as she does not live in my same city. I believe she calls me more then she speaks to her children. lol I absolutely love her and want her in my life eternally as she is such a really great mother.

Depends on how they are as people. My potential in-laws, i've only met them twice and they are really nice. Thou my partner didnt tell them about me till christmas last year when there was a present from me and my son for them. my partner also gets along great with my side of the family. but then you get my ex in-laws and they were sticky beaks, and had to try to control everything.

Mine are great. Apparently I'm the only boyfriend they've ever actually liked, which is surprising, but it's probably because they know - without a doubt - that I'll do everything I possibly can to support my lady and make her happy. My father-in-law (to be, since she's only my fiancee for the moment) and I disagree pretty frequently but it's always with respect, so we have some great discussions. And since I'm very calm (as opposed to his very Mediterranean temperament), it never blows up into an argument. My lady tells me that her mum adored me from the first time I visited. I came downstairs on the first morning and asked if she needed a hand with anything in the kitchen and that was that!

I have been very fortunate to have always had a happy and loving relationship with my in laws. They are just as big a part of my life as my family that i was born into. I lost my husband five years ago but my relationship with his parents is as strong as it ever was. i am thankful to have them in my life and the lives of my children. Life would not be the same without them. We do have our little arguments like any other family but the love has always been there.

My relationship with my future mother in law is ok I think. This woman is very charming, talkative and funny. She got big heart and she really love her family. As we live in other country than she does I trying to convince my partner to phone her much frequently as she lives alone.

I used to get along fine with my inlaws. The only thing I can think that happened is I spoke my opinion and they didn't like it. Ever since then things have gone down hill. She tells people that I don't let my husband come to family events. We come to all the ones we can. Sometimes he decides he doesn't want to go and he doesn't even tell me about it. Or by the time she invites us we already have other plans. Or she'll call here and I'll tell him but he doesn't call her back and she blames me. Now that we have kids she barely wants anything to do with them and we don't get invited at all on family outings. They pushed for us to have kids now want nothing to do with them. His brother always get invited with his girl friend though because they don't have kids. I'm sad for my kids who are getting old enough they are starting to see the difference between my parents who talk to them all the time and keep them overnight just to visit and ask how school is going etc. and his parents who live just as close but barely see them more than holidays.

In-laws should not be generalized as the bad guys of any married couple. I've had a good relationship with my ex in-laws as well as my now in-laws. Generally in-laws do tend to care so much about a couple's relationship which cause problems to escalate but others do mind their own business and would only meddle if allowed to. There's 2 sides on every coin and let's not forget that son or daughter in-laws can be aggravating also. I guess it all depends on information and news within the family....on what and what not to let the in-laws know.

I always try to establish good relations with my in-laws. But, it seems, I had a little effort a failure. But, I also can be called successful. Because, sometimes our relationship is good, and sometimes bad. My relationship with my father-in-law, is quite good and there was never any conflict. But, my relationship with my mother-in-law, very erratic, sometimes good and sometimes bad.

I have a very good relationship with my in laws even before marriage. They supported us from the start, especially if it is with the needs of the children. In return, I do my best to help them especially with regards to their help. My sister in law who is at US is constantly asking me if her parents are fine because sometimes, they would say they are okay but in reality they are not feeling well. I guess they are too stubborn when it comes to going for a check up.

Hello rollylolly, I have good relationship with my in laws.They are very helpful for me. I remember when my kids(twins) were born there was no one to take care of my wife and my kids at home as my mother had a fracture in leg at that time so she was unable to take care of them.At that time my MIL came to my house and stayed with us for around 10 days and after that she took 3 of them at her house and kept them there for around 3 months.I know you would think she did it for her daughter and her kids but dear beacuse that was my responsibilty more than her which she did it with her best and ultimately helped me so i always be thankful for her. Apart from this she is very generous lady and always extend her hands to help us and same is with my father in law.
