To wonder how many of you get on with your in laws?

Just that really - I find 85% of the family on my partners side so bloody difficult! My immediate family are much more smoother going. I’m just curious if it’s an “in-law” thing?!

my in-laws were lovely, interesting and hospitable people.

feelingbleh · 07/06/2025 21:23

Mine are amazing have treat me like one of their own

Pallisers · 07/06/2025 21:24

I love mine. Mind you some of them don't get on with each other but I like them all.

Complet · 07/06/2025 21:24

Mine are wonderful, which is hardly surprising as they raised my lovely husband!

ShesTheAlbatross · 07/06/2025 21:25

I love mine. And infinitely prefer my PILs to my parents.

Crazyladee · 07/06/2025 21:25

My Mum and father in law are lovely. I've been married for 30 years and they have always treated me as part of the family virtually since day one.

mnahmnah · 07/06/2025 21:26

I can just about cope in the presence of my in-laws for an hour or two, but they are so different to my own family and life, that i just can’t understand them! Very strange people. DH is totally of my opinion luckily so we just get on with our life and see them when we need to.

ThejoyofNC · 07/06/2025 21:27

Mine are absolutely awful, the lot of them. God knows how DH came from them because he's absolutely nothing like them.

DappledThings · 07/06/2025 21:27

Love them. They are just lovely, ordinary, kind people. Fantastic grandparents. Far less highly strung than my parents.

usernotfound0000 · 07/06/2025 21:28

MIL and FIL are lovely, treat me equally as part of the family, get on very well. SIL is another issue however!

CluelessBereavement · 07/06/2025 21:30

I love mine. DH loves his. And both sets love each other.

MountainBiker · 07/06/2025 21:33

My in laws are great. I wish my family were as straightforward!

Drivingmissrangey · 07/06/2025 21:35

Mine are great. My parents, well just my Mum now, get on well with my PIL which is think says a lot. My SIL is very different to me and my friends but we still get on well and have a lot of respect for each other. Her kids are older than mine and I admire her enormously as a parent.

PotatoBreadForTheWin · 07/06/2025 21:37

My own family have their moments but my in-laws are a bunch of dicks.

Cynic17 · 07/06/2025 21:41

My parents in law died many years ago, but I got on with them really well. They were fab.
My own family... not so much (polite version).

motherboredd · 07/06/2025 21:42

My mil is lovely. My fil is a bit of a twat but we rub along ok.

lovemycbf · 07/06/2025 21:45

Mine isn’t interested in the slightest about us including the children when they were small but comes running when something is broken or she can’t do something in particular
tbh she’s a user and I’m polite but don’t deal with her unless I have to

HansHolbein · 07/06/2025 21:46

Love mine. Even call my MIL mum.

SophiaSW1 · 07/06/2025 21:47

I wish I had good ones! They are just not good people and certainly not people I want my children around.

PermanentTemporary · 07/06/2025 21:56

My PILS were lovely. Some issues with some of the others, but maybe more on their side with me than on my side with them.

Disturbia81 · 07/06/2025 22:41

I have always got on with inlaws, they’ve been lovely and welcoming. Much preferred the extended family compared to mine

XDownwiththissortofthingX · 07/06/2025 22:44

They're dead, so I suppose I get on with them just fine. It's my parents who were the disinterested/judgemental/playing favourites arseholes, so I think if you asked my Ex they'd probably be in the horrible in-laws camp.

Newhere5 · 07/06/2025 22:45

I like my in laws. They are very nice people.

Titasaducksarse · 07/06/2025 22:45

We have the odd moment but 90% of the time they're supportive, kind and good to be around. Just don't fly longhaul with them....

smallstitch · 07/06/2025 22:47

My mil is fine, wouldn’t say we are close but see her once a week and she’s no trouble.
