quote:

I actually get along better with my in-laws than with my own parents. A big part of it was that my parents got really selfish and over protective of me when I proposed to my wife, even though I begged them to stay out of it. I told them they were making a huge mistake and that it would leave a lifetime of estranged relations with my wife (at best).
They didn't listen and gave me attitude ("how dare you tell your parents what to do, you don't know as much about life as we do", etc.) Guess what happened. Exactly what I said was going to happen. Me and the wife called off our wedding and eloped. Her dad showed up for the private ceremony and that was that. Big lesson to learn here for parents: stay the frick out of your kids' wedding plans and be very careful what you say to your potential son/daughter in-law. I vowed that I will never pass that same down to my son or daughter. It's sad that the latter half of my life with my parents is now estranged, but what the hell. My wife and my kids are my life now. Just as it was for them. But somewhere along the way, they forgot that. You insult my wife or my kids, you are insulting an extension of me as well.


You sound like one pathetic loser

I have a great relationship with my in-laws and extremely thankful for that. I could not imagine a life where that was not a good relationship and the strain it would have on a family.

I just got married last weekend and couldn't be any happier with mine. That was a big part of me settling down and picking the right woman, how I and she gets along with her family and visa versa. I think a lot of times that's not taken into account when courting a girl, you're not only marrying her, you're marrying her family. But her family is great, her father and I go fishing and get drunk together.

I like mine but they can be over-bearing. That's what I get for marrying ethnic.

Because they're stupid. I can't fathom marrying someone whose family you hate.

I like my in laws more than most of my extended family.

My father in law and his wife are awesome, always supported my wife and I. My mother in law tried convincing my wife to live with her and leave me so she could help my wife raise my daughter. That was the last straw and I have been putting up with her during visits since. The joys of being military and living away are awesome

Don't hate a little overbearing

Last thing anyone wants is another voice in their marriage

Yeah I dont hate mine, but they're annoying as Frick. Bunch of wankers with the superior new Orleans attitude.

I'm from da bayou and every time I'm around them they try to pile on this "new Orleans culture" attitude, as if my culture offends their "real Louisiana" mindset.

When I was married I loved my in-laws...grew to not being able to stand their daughter, but still thought highly of them.

Most don't.
Why do people hate their parents. Why do people hate their siblings.

my MIL offered my wife $3000(odd amount i know) not to marry me, thing is she was so greedy she could`t bring herself to offer it too me which would have made more sense if your trying today someone off. The woman was pure evil with almost no redeeming qualities.

No, you barged your way in through their daughter's vagina.

They fricking hate you. We do too, but for other reasons.

Most of my close friends are constantly bitching about their IL's and some of the shite they talk about it terrible.

I always talk about how lucky I am to have cool as hell IL'S. My father in law can get a little overbearing when talking about finances but I know it's just because he never had a son and he just wants the best for his daughter and grandkids so I don't let it get to me. I'd take a bullet for my MIL though. She's an amazing person.

People don't like people that don't like them. They don't like you because you were clearly never going to live up to what they wished their Princess to have.

You should have been a two sport pro that did surgery in the off season.

If you are female, they wanted you to be the COO of Microsoft and a gourmet cook, while raising Ken and Barbie.

People are flawed. Your flaws are magnified when marrying somebody's perfect spawn.

My father-in-law is wonderful. If I didn't have my dad, I would want my father-in-law to be my dad. A very good man. My mother-in-law is batshit insane and she doesn't like me. I do feel sorry for her. I blame the Nazis. They were divorced before I met my wife.
