how does one deal with them as I despise mine with a passion horrible people that have no clue how real life is. wife thinks I'm being horrible when I vent about them but she thinks their behaviour is normal because she has grown up with it. they really are nasty people I'm not being a dick here. love my wife to pieces but she has no comprehension how bad people they are. just a quick example we had planned to be at a friends for the 23rd for months they knew this but when her brother and his new born arrived the best thing she thought to do was introduce the new born to the dog which was far more important than her aunt and completely ignored my wife!

I find that the more I drink the more I like my in-laws and tolerate their more difficult traits and habits. I'm guessing it might be the opposite for you?

You are of course right ss however I do stand by that they are not nice people.

I've been very lucky 2 out of three times :-)

My current in-laws I doubt can be beaten, but as though to prove the most perfect diamonds are flawed my sister-in-laws partner is a yam ... but even he's good chat and owns pubs!!!!!!

I like my girlfriends parents.

Her Dads a decent guy. Likes a pint, supports his local football team (Lincoln City) and is a generally nice guy. Her Mum likes me and is easy enough to talk to.

She gets on with my parents as well so all good really.

I'm lucky that mine like me. I say that because sometimes no matter what you do you will never be good enough and there will be nothing you can do to change that. You just have to grin and bear it.

Mother in law is a diamond and I get on great with the father...even though all of her family are from the dark side. The banter is good and I suppose I will always have the upper hand because when it comes down to it his daughter has tried some hibby..and she ain't going back.:greengrin

My mother in law was a founding member of the peace movement here in Germany and stems from a traditional Catholic background and I'm an antique left over from the cold war with strong atheistic leanings. To say we are like chalk and cheese is the understatement of the century.

Nearly every conversation we had ended in arguments until things came to a head when she decided to put Jesus stickers on my 2 year olds Bobby Car. Whilst I agree that grandparents should have an influence in the upbringing of their grandkids I was absolutely enraged by what I saw as a deliberate attempt to indoctrinate my kid in something I abhor.

I know that one day my little boy will be able to choose his own path and for this reason I try and strike a balance between my non belief and respecting the right of others to theirs but her constant one-sided religious propaganda really gets on my wick, so much so that I intentionally avoid contact with her on any level. If I could choose then I personally would break all contact but I also realise that she's the mother of my wife and my son's granny so for that reason alone I have to put a brave face on if only for their sakes.

My father in law and mother in law were the most wonderful people. I miss them every day.

I'm getting dragged to the Inlaws today .
Actually can't stand visiting them. I will have to fix their computer , set up their tablet and sort out their phone.
Add to that they don't drink , bore me to tears and their house stinks of smoke even though they don't smoke when we are there.
Don't mind the mother in law as such but her husband (not wifes father) is a complete obnoxious bell end.

Looking forward to getting home tonight already.

The influence of my late father in law is why I support Hibs, not a bad word to say about him or my mother in law. If Carlesberg made in laws........................................

Lucky you mate. I still get on great with my ex in laws and still meet them on a regular basis, nice folk who live and let live. Shame the same can't be said about their eldest daughter. :greengrin

My girlfriends parents are lovely folk. Her Mum is ads mad as a box Of frogs but in an entirely harmless way. Me and her old man are quite similar and get on well. Nice folk

Really couldnt be bothered with my ex wifes folks, was probably just down to coming from totally different backgrounds though. New partners mum and dad stay miles away so only see them now and again
