Do you get along well with your in laws?

Question

I used to get along pretty well with my in laws but now I have a baby they say and do things I can't stand, how about you? Has it affected your marriege as well?

Answer

Constantly drawing out boundaries and having them crossed... it's exhausting... like tonight we went over and we're doing BLW have been for 3 months. My mil wanted my daughter to sit on her lap to eat which is fine but she starts picking up the peas and trying to put them in her mouth, we told her 3 times to let her do it herself but she kept saying "it'll take you forever to eat like that!" So now my daughter starts screaming as she had a mouth full of peas but can't chew it well so I tell my partner to do something so he takes her and gives her to me... later on my daughter is playing on the floor so my mil takes away her toy to try to get her to crawl to her my daughter starts crying so she puts it in front of but as soon as my daughter goes to get it she takes it away and keeps laughing even though my daughter is crying.. like really? That's not going to make her want to come to you. But my favourite is the passive aggressive talk to the baby thing... she always does this.. tonight she was saying to my daughter "when are you going to spend the day with grandma??" I felt like saying "when you follow our rules" *rant over* :)

Answer

I would if they were still alive.

Answer

Love my in laws. But sometimes my fil gets on my nerves. Likes to make my kids cry just for fun! WTH!! Drives me crazy.

Answer

I get along with my in-laws but I could be because they don't live anywhere near us, they're half way across the country so they only come out once a year for a few weeks.

Answer

We've never gotten along. They're quite transphobic. They repeatedly told my SO to break up with me. When they visited him in school he was told I better not be there. I was accused of sleeping with my SO's father and wrecking their marriage. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, don't get me started on how they enable my SO's brother who rapes women and once tried to kill my SO. I try to be the bigger person and be civil when they want to see my baby, but I never leave them alone with him and luckily they almost never want to see him anyway.

Answer

never got along with mine.  I know I'll have issues once baby is born bc I see how they treat our sister in law and their baby

Answer

My husbands parents are/were drug addicts so we have not gotten along for about 6 years. At this point they have never met our son who is 22 months old. It's a shame but they.  Need to get it together.

Answer

We had some growing pains  when our baby was first born, as we have VERY different parenting styles and philosophies, but overall they are awesome

Answer

Yes and no. I can get along with them but some of their beliefs really get under my skin that it makes it sometimes hard for me to want to be around them and I often times avoid being put in a situation with them that makes me uncomfortable

Answer

I have always had a great relationship with my in laws, we hang out all the time wether my husband is home or not. My mil and I did have a little spat when my daughter was born because she thought we should of done a few things differently but once she got over it and realized we were going to do things our way we've been good again.
