Do your in laws think the sun shines out of your dhs arse?

[Cinemanights]

Just out of interest as I'd like to know if this is a normal, typical thing.

In dhs parents eyes he can do no wrong. Not that I try to deliberately involve them in the ins and outs of our lives. But for example they'll often give dh credit for things that I've actually done, or if I mention in front of them that I need dh to do something my mother in law will jump in about how he's tired/he works hard. Even though I'm tired and work hard too. It's taken many years for my mother in law to realise that I'm not dhs PA.

They are the same with their dd, they openly slag their dds husband off implying he's not good enough for their dd.

It's a minor irritation but over the years dhs has reverted to a 9 year old boy whenever we were in their company, much less so now.

Not really. They know he is flawed. But they do like to praise him, which is nice for him. And I often let him take credit for stuff I’ve done. I don’t really need my ILs approval so it’s fine.

No. He's an adult and treat him as such. He's obviously their son and they love him but they don't think he's gods gift to the world.

I think you'll find the sun does shine out of my flaxen haired baby's arse.

No. They consider him dead to them.

They used to side with me when anything was happening. They did love him, he had a great relationship with them but it was always 'you listen to BFL she knows what she's doing'. I got on well with them, treated like a daughter.

They do think he's pretty amazing, but then my parents definitely think the same about me!

We always laugh in my family about a time I made my Granny a cup of tea (I was about 13). We were all in the sitting room chatting and, despite me asking what she wanted to drink, making it for her, and giving it to her, she insisted 'It must have been made by XX (my DF)'s - only he knows how to make a proper cup of tea' before continuing on to list how he was superior to everyone in every way. We would always tease him about it when they had gone but yes, my Grandmother did think that my father was the prodigal son (my Grandfather didn't though).

Yup. I love my MIL, but only my DH can be tired, overworked, have a bad back etc...

Poor Dh would be any mothers ideal son but the most positive thing theyve ever said is “he’s never been any trouble”. My parents have stepped in and worship him though 😁

My mil does think the sun shines out of my dps arse but she hides it well
she lost her dd 20 years ago and he’s her pfb and now only child
she’s firm on not taking sides and we get on so well but there’s always part of her that thinks he can do no wrong
We can have a laugh about it so no harm done

Nope, my DH is the black sheep of the family - a scapegoat for his selfish, disappointing sister. He has terrible problems with his self-esteem.

DP was recently 30. Three members of his family wrote in his card what an excellent partner he was to me! Like how would they know? And secondly, we have had a myriad of problems lately caused by him not being a good partner!
His dad on the other hand always takes my side and I have threatened to tell his dad when he's been awful in the past. This changes his behaviour pretty quickly.

I don't feel my lovely DP is even liked by his frankly hideous Mother, no gift on his 50th was a low point. His siblings are very much the golden children. However my DM thinks he's the second coming!

MIL thinks DH and all he does is amazing, which I used to find a bit irritating. But now she has largely moved her devotion and admiration to DH and I's own two sons, who to her astonishment are even more perfect in every way than their dad. I feel that this is much more reasonable and justifiable and so now we get on brilliantly as we can discuss our mutual adoration of DS1&DS2 and the many ways in which we think they surpass all other children

My mil regularly told me how lucky I was. She thought both her children were perfect and deserved the best of everything in life. All my dh’s opinions were correct as far as she was concerned and she was baffled if ever I disagreed with him.

No, but that’s because I’m married to a woman, they think the sun shines out of her brother’s arse though.

My parents (mainly my mum) think the sun shines out of my brother’s wife’s arse for some reason, she’s an angel who can never be criticised yet myself and my wife are fair game.

Yes. First born , - can do no wrong. Bloody infuriating!

However they no doubt slag him off to his siblings just like they slag off his siblings to us.
Always asking how his work is , never interested in mine.
In fact the in-laws have no interest in their childrens partners to be honest.

Definitely not 😂
