who do you like better MIL or FIL?

I love them both, but my FIL is like a buddy for me, we call each all the time, we identify ourselves and can relate to each other so easily, its amazing!!!

I genuinely like and get along with both. But I definitely like my MIL better . She's a riot.

exactly, easy going and very out going are the words when it comes to my FIL too, so I feel more confortable around him. And I'm like that with my parents too I'm much closer with my dad than with my mom

DEFINITELY my FIL! He is SO easy going and I think even he knows that his wife is a pain in the butt a lot of the time

yup! FH is a stepchild so he's pretty low on the totem pole but I'm completely underneath the totem pole. Don't be sad for me, I've made peace with it.

that's good that you could make peace with it, and you'll always have your parents no matter what

FIL definitely!!

MIL is really DH's stepmom (his mom passed away before I met him) His stepmom really only cares about her two children from a previous marriage and tends to make DH and I feel like outcasts. I can have a conversation with her and everything will be fine..she LOVES me..but I hate the snide little comments she makes about DH.

Re: who do you like better MIL or FIL?

I have to say with all honesty I love them both!!! They are both wonderful people in different ways. I really couldn't think about picking one over the other!

Definitely MIL...

FIL is such a know it all-academic-patronizing type. Drives my bananas!

Re: who do you like better MIL or FIL?

I love them both! I really couldn't choose between MIL or FIL. They both made me feel like a member of the family from day one. I really am very lucky that DH's parents are so great.

Re: who do you like better MIL or FIL?

MIL.
They are both great people but FIL makes terrible jokes non stop and it drives me crazy!!!

Re: who do you like better MIL or FIL?

I am shocked that most like FIL better. I would have thought it would be the MIL but maybe because I really never had a relationship with my dad. My ILs live in FLa. I get along with both but I like MIL better.
