Title says it all. Since holidays coming up.. thought I would ask...
Family are like fish; If they stay around to long they start to stink up the house.
My wife gets along with my parents as well as I do, we’re not very close, visit a couple times a year.
I dont like her family much. It shows regularly that my wife loves her family more then they love her. They’re useless people in my mind.
Quoted from Luckydogg420:Family are like fish; If they stay around to long they start to stink up the house.
It is funny that is such an American (and Canadian) thing to say. Our cultures differ so much from say Japan or the middle east where it is typical to live with your parents until they die.
Yes, although we don't live near them and we don't see them too often, maybe a couple times a year . We see my wife's family even less, and I have to admit I have a hard time hanging out with them sometimes, but they're good people just trying to get by just like us.
Quoted from crank:They like her better than me. I don’t blame them.
This is the situation for my wife and my parents as well. My mom adored my wife and they spoke on the phone almost every day. My dad thinks she is Wonder Woman.
The other way (me to her parents) isn't as filled with rainbows and sunflowers.
Everyone loves my wife, it is me who is difficult to get warmed up to. Her parents lost out on the in-law contest for sure.
In my experience, most women don't get along with their mother-in-laws. There is just something about the dynamic that causes friction.

My wife likes my Father, my Mother, not so much. It's a reoccurring theme, it was the same with with my ex-wife too.
I think my folks probably like my wife more than me.
+ Her parents are fan-fuckin-tastic, so it's win-win!!!!
My parents have been gone for about 3 years now but there was no one that did more for them than my wife and I. My parents LOVED my wife. She did all the little caring things for them that men just don't do...especially for my mom.
My parents and brother have passed away so I dont have much family left but we got along great. The only time my wife hears from her family is when they need money. THE ONLY TIME. So she has finally learned to not take their calls.
For the most part. But there are limits to exposure, and the “mother-in-law clause” in our marriage. If we spend the day/evening with the mother-in-law, we get to have a few drinks when it’s done.
Quoted from Frax:No, and I don't like hers either (but I still hate my mom more than her parents).
Nice!
Quoted from Oneangrymo:Man I’m shocked by the amount that’s get along with in-laws . It’s amazing
Not everbody is a Jerry Springer episode waiting to happen.
Quoted from Frax:No, and I don't like hers either (but I still hate my mom more than her parents).
My parents are awesome, and so is my wife. They get along famously. My dad is a quiet dude that’s super easy going. My mom is great and extremely supportive when it comes to the grandkids, and she and my wife can talk about anything.
My in laws though... Yikes! The Dad is an artist, and while not a bad guy, is certainly not my type of dude. He’s pedantic and smug for a guy that accomplished a lot less than I have. The mother is borderline evil. Awful women.
Quoted from pinbum:Damn, your mom touch your soft wood or something.
I don't even want to know what the hell that's supposed to mean....BUT...
When you get married, and tell your mom that you're now expecting your first child, and her response is LITERALLY "Okay, bye." and she shuts the door in your face...
F that B--ch. I don't need that in my life, and nobody else that has relatives like that should put up with their crap either!
My wife can't stand my mom . I can only take so much of my mom but I only see her 2 days a year. You would have to meet her to understand.
I may be lucky. I get along well with her parents, she gets along well with mine. If I could buy the house next to ours and have my in-laws move in next door I would. With that said I am sure both our mothers will outlive their husbands. When our mothers are too old to live on their own we will probably have them move in with us. You don't hear that often.
