Say something that your inlaws do that drives you nuts. Now I know we all love our inlaws but there has to be something that makes you

Re: Lets talk about in-laws

I don't really feel like there's anything 'personal' to complain about when it comes to the inlaws, because they've been super nice to me. But of course there are things that still bug me.

Like my MIL - she's sweet as can be, but I get kind of annoyed at how much she seems to love gossip & drama. Like when we were engaged, she wasn't going to come to the wedding (due to the distance) so my mother wrote her a very sweet letter (in my opinion) and just told her how much she was wanted and that we'll give her a room in our house, and all of that. DH's mother took it as tho my mom was somehow telling her that she's a horrible parent for not coming, and I just don't see where she got that from. She didn't get mean about it at all, but she did cause a bit of drama by calling DH and crying to him, and then calling her other children too. It just made the whole letter seem HORRIBLE when that wasn't my mother's intentions at all. And it got her daughter mad even tho she never even read the letter. So that kinda pissed me off. She's just like that tho.

And my one SIL is the same way - drama, drama, drama!! She's nice to me, but sometimes she'll make stupid comments, like 'Oh Rocky's not REALLY like this' - almost trying to make me believe that he's been putting on a show for me these past 3 years. W.T.F?? Or she gets really jealous and acts kind of mean, like when she was looking at our wedding pictures (since she wasn't there) and saying to DH 'I never pictured you the type to do __ (a garter toss, feeding each other the cake, etc, etc)' Almost as tho trying to put us down for what we did at our wedding, just because she never had one and chose to elope. And then later when we said something about how HAPPY we are to finally be together & married, she was like 'Yeah, you'll be pregnant in a year.' And then she actually made a $100 bet with Rocky that I'll be pregnant by next December and that pisses me off, cause it wasn't in a funny playful way.

FIL l like a lot. My only complaint is that he calls at freakish hours. lol. Like 6am all of a sudden DH's phone will begin vibrating. DH will sleep right thru it, but now I'M awake and pissed off. lol.

My otha SIL i really do like a lot. I get along with her very well. But she IS just a teenager (16) so her phone is her life. It gets kind of boring to hang out with her because she'll just be rudely texting nonstop (but can I blame her really? She's going thru a long distance relationship, just like me & her brother were. And I do recall texting a lot during those times also - - just not when I was WITH people)


But i'm sure they've got SOMETHING about me they can complain about also. lol. So it's good to just let the things that bug you slide, I think.

oh yeah....MIL still thinks the boys are 12 and she always cooks and cooks and its stuff we don't want to eat or its always like desert and specific things for DH as if he is a little kid needing his ice cream every night after dinner. She shops and has him take stuff home....as if he doesn't have a wife to take care of him.

Oh it's lovely.

Is her name Marie by any chance? lol 'Everybody Loves Raymond' . :-P

DH mother still buys him his favorite 'chocolate' cereal. That sort of bugs me, I know that it's something that he likes, but it's cereal. If it was a gift or something from the METS or something then I don't think it would be awkward. To me it's just annoying lol I don't know why!

I guess I cant really complain compared to some of your inlaws!!!
MIL is just lazy and loves to complain. I really do love her and she would never do anything to hurt me. Shes just a big old pain the *** sometimes!!

I've been pretty lucky with my ILs. The only thing with MILs family is that they have drama and no one can keep secrets
