What kind of role do you think inlaws should play in the daughter/son inlaw lives?

Well that's a toughie. I have been married since December of 2011, and i found out rather quickly how in-laws can be a blessings, and a royal pain. Ever heard the saying, "Your not just marring the person you love, but you are marring the whole family?" Well, in an interesting way this is true. It's just that your relationship with them will not be as personal as it is with your spouse. Just like when you marry a person with kids, yes they may get on your last nerve sometimes but you have to love them anyways. Just part of the package. In my particular case, my in-laws tend to through their advice at you whether you need it or not. It is my firm belief that in-laws should play the role of a support system just like your own family. For example; On important cases, the mother and father in-law should be able to help make decisions, but not necessarily have the deciding vote. They should be there to encourage you and your spouse to have a long and happy marriage and maybe throw in a few helpful hints to make things even better. In-laws can be great, but to save you and your spouse from having horrible fights over them, you and the in-laws should no where the line is so as to not cross it. With all this said, always remember in-laws are family even though they may make you want to pull your hair out lol.
