QOTD 4/25/08*

Good morning all of you lovely Brides to be!

I hope everyone have a lovely Friday!
Now for the QOTD...

If you could change one thing about your FILS what would it be and why?

Re: QOTD 4/25/08*

ok I will be the first one to respond
my FFIL is great I wouldnt change anything about him
my FMIL is also great but at times can be needy and a little judgemental. so sometimes I wish she was open to new ideas a little more and judged less. other then that I cant complain

Re: QOTD 4/25/08*

I am probably the luckiest person to have such great FIL but FMIL is a little naive in some areas so I just wish she was a lil more independent

I don't know if i'd change anything about them. Not that they're perfect but can't complain.

I would have Pat quit smoking. I am an ex smoker and since I quit, I can't STAND smokers. He wants kids real bad and I really don't. Eventually I will have one but not anytime soon. So, I told him you have to quit before we have them or I ain't having one!

I love my FIL's!!!

But FFIL is INCREDIBLY JUDGEMENTAL about EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING....... makes comments about people being overweight, ugly, etc.. and it's like Hi, you aren't Mr. Wonderful... get over yousrelf... just makes me soooo upset! I can't take that about him..

thank god FH is like his mom... much more loving and caring!

Re: QOTD 4/25/08*

This is going to sound awful.......If I could I would change almost everything about my FILS. My FH is not like them at all. I think it is because, he is not really 'theirs'. His mother is his biological mom but his dad is his step-dad (alcoholic) and his brother and sister are half-siblings. I feel as though he never really had a family that was HIS. He tells me all the time that my family is more his family than his own. I mean it is bad they go off and do things as a family and don't really invite us to join. Sometimes they are great. But most times, they hurt both of us and make us both feel as though we don't belong. I just wish we lived near my family, so we could be a unit ya know? I don't know it makes me sad, but there are many things about his family that neither of us appreciate. Maybe in time that will change.

My FMIL and FIL are fantastic, I love them like they are my own. That being said....

FMIL is kinda gloomy, always dwelling on the negative
FFIL is the kindest most giving person I know.. but he's a pack rat... in all sorts of serious ways.

my FMIL is the same way, I wish she saw the brighter side of things a little more often.

FFIL is not in the picture, I've known FH for 6 years and never met the guy, FH hasn't seen or heard from him in over 13 years -- it's kinda sad but from what I hear the guy was an A$$

Re: QOTD 4/25/08*

i wish my fmil was self sufficient.. and not relying totally on FH to pay all her bills and everything..its very stressful but i guess i should just suck it up.

Re: QOTD 4/25/08*

I wish that FFIL was not as religious as he is -he;s not crazy but I feel like it is a barrier between us.
FMIL gets a little annoying with her 'suggestions' and especially it's even more annoying when FH agrees with everything she says.

Re: QOTD 4/25/08*

I wish FMIL wasn't so high strung and that she didn't smoke. FFIL is great but I wish he had a job he liked.

Re: QOTD 4/25/08*

i'd prob want them to be a little warmer and more committed to each other. FH's brother and sisters live in different states and only really talk at gatherings a few times a year. i know it bothers FH, especially with his one sister who lives in boston and is really caught up in her own life--doesn't call, doesn't return messages.
