How well do you get along with FH/FW's Siblings

We are always talking about FIL's and we well we interact with them but how about their siblings?

I get along ok, (so far) with all of his siblings, (5 sisters, 1 brother). I say so far because I don't live close to them. But FH has a problem with my family that he will never admit to.

He has one brother who we see twice a year, even though he only lives in manhattan. We get along just ducky. He is pretty cool and so is his girlfriend.

I have 2 SIL's. One is 22 and I adore her...she is in medical school so we dont see her often enough. We have so much fun together...she is definitely the sister I never had and she feels the same way.

The other sister is a half sister and she is 3 1/2....and you could only imagine how much she means to me...its amazing having her in our lives.

FH has a sister and a brother. His brother is older and we get along well, but unfortunately he lives in Boston so we don't get to see him too much. FH's sister is younger, she is a year younger than I am, and we get along extremely well! I love her to death. We have a great time when we are together. I am extremely excited about adding a new brother and sister to my family!

i wish fh had a sister. i have one of each, but me & my sis never really got along. we always fought. we don't now too much b/c she is out of the house and we are both older, so there is not much to fight about. fh has 2 younger brothers who i treat like my own.

DH has a brother who I never see only because he lives full time in San Francisco. When he does come in (twice a year), he wants to hang with his parents and brother (dh) and friends, so I try to stay out of his way. It's understandable. When he calls, he calls DH on his cell so DH always answer it. We dont talk so much because we are different. But I dont hold anything against him. He is a nice guy and I cant complain. he is good to DH.

Craig gets along remarkably well with my 2 sisters (28yrs. & 17yrs) & 2 brothers (24yrs. & 20yrs.)!!! He goes out fishing with my brothers & we regularly invite both to hang out with us & our friends to play cards or whatever!!!! He & my youngest sister have a cute relationship!! He dubbed her #1 MOH during the wedding planning!! She is currently working on him to be Godmother to our 1st child, meanwhile there isn't even one on the way yet!!

Myself & his brother is another story. He is VERY quiet ( has 'Selective Mutism') & seems to have some social anxiety as well. So I never push to have a conversation. I barely say hello because I don't want him to get uncomfortable. So it's a little weird, we live in the same house & all! But if we are having a party he will come & hang with our friends & my siblings!!

<---- FH using FW's login...

I could not ask for a better family to be a part of.... MIL & FIL would give me the world if they could... I get along great with her brother and sister...

Re: How well do you get along with FH/FW's Siblings

Let's see.....FH's younger brother.....overall I like him. At times, I think he acts strangely towards me, but other times we can really joke around.

I don't have a lot of tolerance for his older brother who can be a self-absorbed snob.

FH's older sister....I like her a lot. And her husband is nice & I adore their kids!

I know you are not asking about this---but as a side note I love FH's parents & his grandma!

DH is an only child. Too bad, I would of like to have had a brother or sister in law.

Re: How well do you get along with FH/FW's Siblings

I love them!
SIL came to NY and lived with me for awhile (she is a dancer and wanted to audition) before I moved here. So we got really close.
My BIL is awesome, we hang out all the time. My DH and his brother are really close so we always do things together.
We also hang out with his other sister but she lives a little bit farther away so we don't see her as much.

Re: How well do you get along with FH/FW's Siblings

I get along very well with them. It helps that I rarely see them. Two of them (16 and 20 year old sisters) live in Israel. The 26 year old used to live with us. She adn I get along very well. She is a younger version of me. She needs to grow up a lot and is very moody, but I know how to handle her and she doesn't blow up at me like she does to FH.

Re: How well do you get along with FH/FW's Siblings

DH has 1 sister - I dont really get along with her. She lives on FL so I see her once a year.

I have 2 sisters and 1 brother. My DH loves my 2 sisters. He would do anything for them. He has met my brother 2 times and gets along with him also. It very hard though b/c they all live in Ireland. So we see them once a year if we are lucky.

my FH is an only also. I have 1 brother, but we are not that close. He & FH are very shy, so they don't know each other well, but I think they will get along pretty well eventually.

They are both history nerds who read too much .

Re: How well do you get along with FH/FW's Siblings

I've posted about this before, many timees. i do NOT get along with FSIL and her DH. We're playing nice now though, apparently. Still don't like her, sure I never will.

Re: How well do you get along with FH/FW's Siblings

She drives me up a wall at time, but deep down inside I absolutely adore her. SHe is 8 years younger than I am and she is doing the same things at her age that I did, but they just seem so much worse now!!!

Re: How well do you get along with FH/FW's Siblings

His brother is nice. Whenever we try to make plans wit h him and his wife, he'll let us know. But he won't call us to tell us a definite answer. When I do see him, he's nice.

Re: How well do you get along with FH/FW's Siblings

FH brother is his twin and although we get along well, I kind of have mixed feelings about him. He's very different than my FH and to be quite honest, I wouldn't chose him as a friend. I think he's a bit snobbish and materialistic and my FH is nothing like that. My FH's sister is a few years younger than us, and I love her! She just got back this year from being at college and getting her masters and I'm sure, and hoping, that we'll get closer now that she's local. We're going to see Dave Matthews together in 2 weeks. WHO HOO!!
