QOTD 8/7/08

We all know that marriage is the joining of 2 families..but that doesn't always mean we like the family we are marrying into.

What is something about your FIL's that you can't stand? What do you love about them?

if you don't want to answer this question..lurkers maybe...then what vendor are you most excited about seeing in action on your wedding day?

Re: QOTD 8/7/08

I can't stand when my FMIL gets in the way when i'm cooking. She keeps trying to tell me to do something one way, or cook it like this, this is how i cook that. It drives me nuts..like just let me cook. I know she means well....but my 100% italian grandmother taught me how to cook so i'm pretty sure i know what i'm doing haha

BUT i do love that my FIL's are easy to talk to. Even stuff with work and switching jobs and stuff. They are always willing to listen to me.

I don't like how FIL's never give FH any credit. They have lots of problems with their other 2 children and are ALWAYS talking about them. It would be nice if they acknowledged that FH was the only normal one, every once in a while.
However they are very generous to FH and I and would probably do just about anything for us.

I love that my FIL's really treat me like a daughter and go above and beyond for FH & I.

My FMIL just drives me nuts. But I love her, she is insane which is funny.

i like my in-laws. any gripes i might have ever had with them are largely petty and pass in a moment after my frustration has waned. they treat me more like family than my own extended family. i'm blessed to have them.

I have no complaints about my FIL's, but as to which vendor I am most excited to see in action, it would have to be the flowers. They just set the mood for the day in my opinion!

There's nothing I really don't like about my FMIL except she complains when she doesn't see my a lot - I guess its not a bad thing she just doesn't understand how busy I am when the school year starts.

I really have no true complaints my FILs are pretty awesome

I am marrying into an Irish family....and they are VERY strong irish folk! lol. And, tempers fly verrry easily. Like, I said once to FSIL that she should relax, since she was buggin out about her husband, and I got the LOOK OF DEATH! LMAO!

I looove that they are really like my family! We all get along well and I feell like I belong..simple as that. I can go to them for anything!!

I am most excited about watching my Photographer / Videographer at work on the big day...and then of corse seeing the final outcome. I loove my photographer!!

Re: QOTD 8/7/08

oh where to start about my FILs...they nearly broke up my engagement a second time (the caused the 1st breakup), they put FH down, they dont give him the pay he deserves, they treat their daughters like gold, and FH like crap (meanwhile FSILs are spoiled brats who hide all kinds of crap behind FILs backs)

its so messed up, and FH doesnt see anything wrong with the way he is treated...ridic

I am one of the lucky girls who has a wonderful FMIL. She is the cutest, sweetest lady and I love her. I say it all the time how lucky I am.

FFIL isnt in the picture, hasnt been for over 15 years so I never met him

Re: QOTD 8/7/08

One thing I love about FILs is they always put family first. They love thier children to death and will do ANYTHING for them. Ever since I started living with FH, they have been so helpful to us BOTH and they really make me feel like I am part of the family....

I wouldn't say there is anything I can't stand about them. FHs family is a lot more traditional than mine so that has been a little difficult to adjust to at times but FILs really don't have a mean bone in thier bodies which I am very grateful for!!!

I love that FIL's already treat me like part of the family and include me in everything!

Definitely when they lecture me about money and when his mom is standing over me watching me cook and telling me that I'm not doing it right. As much as I appreciate the advice, sometimes it is annoying. I already hear it from my parents and then I go to his place and I have to hear it all over again! The joy of having two sets of parents now.

Deleted. I misread the question.....

FIL's are awesome people. I love them for the most part. They are very accepting and very generous with us. Totally happy about us getting married. However, even though I love FMIL, at times I don't get how she treats FFIL in public. She'll literally yell at him at times in front of people and I just sit there and stare with this face

Re: QOTD 8/7/08

I Love my FIL's they treat me as part of the family however my FH is 1 of 7 children.....so the only thing I absolutely can not stand is when the entire family is together.....you put all 7 kids, spouses, significant others etc together and it's drama, drama, drama!!!!

Re: QOTD 8/7/08

I can't answer the first question, mainly because there isn't enough room to talk about what bugs me about the FIL's !!!!

I cannot wait to see how everything comes together, our lighting, linens, and flowers, I'm so incredibly excited to see how all the hard work and planning pays off!!
