All in-laws are created different. I love my father-in-law. He's a good 'ol baw. Treats me well, respects my decisions as a husband and a man. Great relationship.

Mother-in-law is totally different. She's a blood sucking, mean spirited, negative, deplorable piece of human waste. I can't stand being around her for 5 mins. She's never wrong and criticizes our every move. I think she hates herself. Life without her would be better. I've tried talking sense into her, but it always ends up in an argument.

Anyone else have a difficult in-law to deal with? How'd you go about life with them?

(No pics of mother-in-law - you wouldn't want to see them anyway)

I see mine twice per year. They live 450 miles away. They are country folk and both nice people.

There’s a chance me and you are the same person.

My wife's parents divorced many years ago, so I have two sets of inlaws. FIL and step MIL are truly awesome. MIL and step FIL, on the other hand, we currently aren't exactly talking to.

Mine were everything my own parents never were for me and their grandkids. When I lost my MIL last year it was a real revelation about the depth of my love and respect. If you have good ones, count your blessings.

Mine are Vietnamese too .

I've always wondered what my alt account is. seriously, are you me from the future? I hope you're not me from an alternate universe because that would mean that I would be dealing with the same woman 2x more than I care to deal with her.

My wife's real dad doesn't ever come around. He lives here, but he knows he's not welcome.

Wife's step dad is a really good guy. Smart, loving, and always willing to help with anything. Really like having him around, but he travels all over the world so he's not around a lot.

Wife's grandfather is unbelievably great person. War hero, businessman, respected by all. Every time I go to his house he says, "do you want a man's drink?" then he pulls out a huge bottle of Jack Daniels.

My wife's mother, well, I better not say anything.

Both were very good people but unfortunately we lost them both in 2013 5 months apart.

My FIL is a lot like me. While we aren't necessarily best buds (they live 5 hours away), but there is no animosity.

With my MIL the effort is always there, but the execution is often lacking. Her personality and mine could not be any more different and many times she is just annoying. HOWEVER, she loves my children and there is nothing in the world she wouldn't do for my family. I'm wise enough to know that things could be a whole hell of a lot worse, so the annoying personality is really just a minor aggravation when compared to all the good aspects she brings to our family.

I see a theme here.

FIL - Usually easier to get along with. I like mine a lot and he's a good guy.

MIL - Usually a pain and confrontational, maybe jaded? I don't really deal with my MIL except in person gatherings. However, her and my wife have an extremely tenuous relationship due to past wrong doings.

In-laws recently separated and it has added a new layer of shite between all parties

My FIL, God rest his soul, has gone on, but he was the best FIL I could have ever ask for. Then there's my MIL, someone wise once said, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything...

I get along with my in-laws, but my MiL has gotten bad since we had the baby. They live about 45 min away and she always bitches that she doesn't get to see him enough. Only problem with that is that she always expects us to bring him down to her. She never is willing to come to our house.

She is already bitching about his birthday party too (not till August). We want to do something small with immediate family. She is already mad that we aren't inviting all extended family (like 40 more people)
