Good morning! Hope everyone is doing well on this soggy morning!
How well do you get along with FH's family? Are you happy about the merging of the families or are you dreading it?

For the most part, we get along well, I think. But of course there are times when I become irritated with his family, although I am sure they feel the same too. So all in all I am pretty happy with the merge.

Re: QOTD 5-3
I never had a problem with his mom or family. I love his brothers like my own and his sister and me get along fabulously considering how different we are. A week after he put the ring on my finger, his mother started voicing a lot of opinions. 'you don't need this, you don't need that' 'Cassandra, that's very expensive. You don't need it'. I was getting really irritated. She has been really good in the past couple of months but i also have stayed my distance from her. OOOO and not to mention that we have been dating for 8 and a half years and she still sometimes, for god knows what reason, she calls me Samantha. So in the end, I'm happy about it for the most part.

Re: QOTD 5-3
I'm pretty happy about it. I get along with FHs brothers and their girlfriends very well. His parents are a little uptight and judgemental... so I never really know what they think of me. They're very kind and supportive of the wedding though. No major complaints. We also live far away from our parents though... so we don't really deal with them too often.

Re: QOTD 5-3
Im very happy and relieved to say I get along great with FHs family (and vice versa). His parents, esp his mom welcomed me in from the very beginning of our relationship. The rest of his family as well.

Re: QOTD 5-3
I get along very well with FH's family. His younger brothers drive me crazy they already consider me as their sister. They also protect me when we're out. His step mom and I can talk for hours; even before we were engaged she introduced me to her friends as her daughter. I'm happy that they don't have any issues with me (why would they I'm perfect ) and vice versa.
I'm happy about the family merging. I do not foresee any major issues in the future.

Re: QOTD 5-3
I'm so excited....
I love FH's family. They are big, a bit dysfunctional at times but a whole lot of fun. His brothers, sisters and I get along pretty well and we often go on double dates with his oldest sister and her long-time boyfriend.
Fh's mom actually told me the other day she's so excited for us to get married, she'll have a wonderful daughter and know that her son has found someone who loves him, a best friend, to be alongside him in life..
She was saying she hopes her other 4 kids are as lucky in love as we are.
So cute.
Fh with my family - they are polite enough, but racist to the extreme. The fact he's latino and speaks spanish causes all sorts of issues... Ugh.

Re: QOTD 5-3
I love FH's family. Apparently his mom knew the first time she met me that we were going to get married (we were dating like 2 months). She keeps telling me how happy she is and how proud she will be to call me her DIL - it's very sweet.

Re: QOTD 5-3
I get along really well with FH family. Sometimes they say things that drive me insane but there not pushy. I feel like thats parents though so what are you going to do, The whole family is supportive and we got along since the beginning. FMIL also work together so we better love each other. (lol)

Re: QOTD 5-3
Our families get along very well. FH loves my nieces and nephew, my sisters love him, my brother in law thinks he's great, and most importantly my brother gave him the thumbs up lol. My parents also think he's pretty much perfect.
His parents and sister like me, as do the rest of his family members, so that's good, but in the spirit of full disclosure...
I think my FFIL is going to drive us crazy! LoL he's a very great guy, very helpful and clearly cares a lot of his family and myself. HOWEVER, for some reason he is like super-extreme about women not being able to do anything, if we're late somewhere because of FH it's always my fault, basically everything is women are silly and protect them because they're fragile.
I don't get it because I'm a tough bada$$ mothertruckin' chick, definitely NOT fragile, have built things including furniture and full stage pieces for years, yet he won't let me carry things even. Also, my parents are almost 15 years olde but my dad has NEVER said or felt the crazy things FFIL has.
Oh, and the other night he essentially told FH we're dumb and too young to know how to handle the home-buying process so FH had a breakdown about buying our house. Soooooo.....yeah lol

Re: QOTD 5-3
I love FH's family, but he's not very close to them. I'm an only child, so I'm very excited to be gaining siblings. His oldest sister and her husband are really cool and we have gone to concerts, movies, and vacations with them. His other sister and her husband butt heads with my FH, but we're close. I have never met his older brother and his family because they live in North Carolina. FH's nephew is only a few years younger than me and is married with a daughter. They are really nice. I love my FMIL. We were kind of forced to get close quickly because most of the beginning of our relationship, she was in and out of the hospital. FH's father passed away years ago.
As far as my family and him...it's a little awkward. He's very shy, but my parents want to be close with him, so hopefully in time. Our families had dinner together for the first time and really got along. So that I was happy about
