I am in love with my in-laws

[Caseyelan]

Anyone else have this problem?

People bitch about how annoying their in-laws are.... I cannot get enough of mine.

Am I alone? Does anyone else wish their in-laws raised them?

[biggirl]

I wish I would have been raised by my in-laws...just so I could have a really cool sister, I'd pass on the mom/dad thing.

[Jughead]

They are like my mother and father in my heart... I come from a divorced family..My wife's parents have been beside me though every thing...I love them as much as my own parents....And the great thing is I know they love me....Even though I hurt there daughter over 20 years ago they have forgiven me...I am thankful so thankful

[hammersavage]

My younger sister's husband fits in so well with me and my brother its scary. My older sister's husband is great too, but its just different with my younger sister. He's such an idiot like us and loves to drink. Which describes my family in one phrase.

Wouldn't that mean you were banging your brother?


I really like my girls dad, her mom and I are still working through the kinks.

Well i would But she's dating someone right now so I have to play the waiting game, tis a bummer....

I've actually just been trying to put it out of my head.

Would it be bad to just open up to her and let her know? I know it could ruin the friendship you already have an all, but it sounds miserable to be in love with someone you can't have. Ugh...life is hard!!

What makes it really bad is that she is really in love with this guy, and he's (from what I can tell) is a nice guy so it's frustrating but life goes on....

We do have an awesome friendship so trying to open up to her about this would probably be not only unfruitful, but devastating..

[spankyfrank]

But anyway back to the topic....

I don't think it's a problem if you like your in-laws.

It makes the whole family reunion thing so much easier.

I think maybe the big problem would be if your parents didn't like his parents.

Shit...I know this ALL to well.

[STC-Dub]

I lkike them but I could not have lived on a farm growing up.

[sr71blackbird]

I thought this thread was going to be about having a crush on your sister in law or brorther in law. So dissapointed!
I'm married, and my wifes family generally treats me okay, just not great. I doubt they would give me a kidney if it came to that. But I have a female friend too, and her family loves me and I know they would give an organ to me in a heart beat. Its weird, but cool. South shore island people are so much different that north shore island people. I used to have a job as a delivery man and I had routes some years on thge north shore and some years on the south shore. The south shore people tipped me better by many times over what a north shore persoon would do.
Sorry, didn't mean to derail the topic!

My In-Laws are amazing .... I would go as far as wishing they raised me because (as Casey knows) , I am very lucky with the parents I do have. So I guess I hit the parent lottery ... both sets are pretty awesome.

Every chick I ever dated, I got along great with their parents. It's their daughters that hated me.

[landarch]

The first time I met my wife's parents, they were coming off of an airplane. I had talked to them on the phone before, but the first words they said to me live were: "I'm Ann and he's Jack, none of that Mr. and Mrs. shit".

My wife and I met when we were 18 and freshmen in college. Through all the fights and bullshit and college-age distractions, we stayed together. Any time I wanted to leave I thought about how bad it would suck to not see her parents again. For a short time, I was very friendly with a girl who I would later sometimes think of as "the one who got away". I didn't entertain the thought of starting anything with her at the time because her parents sucked.

Now, 15 years later, her parents live a mile away from us. They watch our kid for us every day while we're at work, usually cleaning our house and cooking dinner for us at the same time. They're always quick to give out the random amounts of holding money. I tell them they are buying their way out of the nursing home, $10 and $20 at a time. They just agree with me and tell me to enjoy the free gas money.

With them a mile away and so entrenched in our lives, it gets a bit hard to take when you start to realize that you are living somewhat the "Everybody Loves Raymond" lifestyle. Still in all, I wouldn't trade it. Life wouldn't be life without them. As for my parents, they're OK I guess. I wouldn't move back there for anything though.

[Ritalin]

nothing wrong with that...I married my best friend.

Alright, I have this conversation with my wife from time to time.

I say that one's wife/husband isn't one's best friend. Can't be, because you can't have a best friend that you want to bang.

I also say that wife/husband is BETTER than best friend - if you want to think of these things in terms of better or worse. Closer for sure.

I'm definitely not picking on you Biggirl - having a great relationship with your spouse is nothing to sneeze at - but that particular cliche about marriage has always bothered me.

Don't even get me started on "soul mate". Talk about a phrase with undefined high expectations.

but wasnt the daughter simply a stepping stone to reach the holy grail mother?

[sr71blackbird]

I cried like a baby at my mother in laws funeral.

[Farmer Dave]

I'm glad for all you, really I am. It's just my wife's parents that define passive aggressive behavoir.

[Aggie]

I am very lucky with the parents I do have. So I guess I hit the parent lottery ... both sets are pretty awesome.

Ditto, except my parents are divorced so I have 4 awesome parents and gained 2 amazing in laws. Life is good! And on top of all that my dad and his dad are like brothas from anotha motha. They go on golf trips together and stuff. It's cute.

[beachbum]

I get along with my father in law probably better than my wife does.We at least communicate better.For a guy with three daughters and two ex wives he doesn't seem to relate to women well.I like my mother in law but we don't see alot of her.She seems to be the only relative we have that won't take advantage of a free place to stay a mile from the beach.Come to think of it,maybe she doesn't like me.
