To ask you to describe your relationship with your in-laws in three words

[QueenE27]

This was asked of me today and i'm curious to hear other peoples answers!

Pair of Cunts

Dutiful, indifferent, polite.

Of MIL's making I may add.

Never been great

I remain civil

Sadly no contact

Previously wonderful, loving and supportive, I can't explain it

Enables spite + nastiness

Mad or dead

tolerable but tense

always on holiday (its fantastic!)

Polite
Loving
Kind

Loving
Funny
Kind

Fil - strained, distant, cold

Mil and step fil - loving, generous, caring

With FIL+Wife it's: Hard work, infuriating, unbearable

With MIL+Husband it's: intermittent, strange, civil

DH doesn't have a great relationship with either parent, so I put it down to that.

Bullying
Controlling
Strained

Kind
Lovely
Generous

More a description of them rather than the relationship I guess.

They hate me

Elephant in room ?!?!

Nice, helpful, exIL

Dotty, anxious, sweet.

(Present ILs)

They'll die soon.

Completely favours neice

Arms length, fortunately.
