It seems like a lot of people don't get along with the future in laws. How many people get along with them. Fine are really nice. They treat me wonderfully. I like that since my parents live in Florida. FH's parents were just thrilled when FH met me. What's not to like I get along great with them.

Re: Spinoff: Do you get along with FIL's
I love mine. My parent's live in totally different states and my fi's parents had 5 boys and no girls when I came into the picture. They 'adopted' me as their daighter, from the very beginning. Later on they had a 'happy accident' and a little girl was born and I was allowed to name her...I am truly blessed with them because I know my experience is the exception. I don't take it for granted at all.

Re: Spinoff: Do you get along with FIL's
I get along with my FMIL very well. My FH comes from a family of 4 boys, so its great being the only girl!!
I'm a little iffy on the FFIL. We don't converse much...I don't know how he feels.

Re: Spinoff: Do you get along with FIL's
I love my FILs. FMIL can be overwhelming sometimes. She has a tendancy of being very opinionated which makes it difficult sometimes. But, they welcomed me with open arms into their family and that means the world to me.

I get along with mine fine too. My FIL is one of the best men I have ever met, I guess that's where FH gets it from.
MIL is also very nice, though I have only met her once, they didn't talk for a while and she lives in FL.

I get along with my FIL's pretty well also. I mean they're not perfect and sometimes they can be very intimidating (totally not on purpose) But overall we get along just fine.

For the most part, I think FMIL is okay. She doesn't intrude very much in our lives and that is very important to me. Other times she can be rude and snobby.
I have known my FILs for about 7 years now and they have always made me feel like part of the family. I consider myself very lucky.

Re: Spinoff: Do you get along with FIL's
i love my FILs!!!! theyre supportive, respectful... theyre there if you need them, but dont intrude. It was a little weird to me at first b/c FH is the youngest.. and his sybblings are 6,8,10,12 yrs Older than him,, and mine are 9,10 yrs Younger than me... so it felt weird to go from being the Oldest to the Youngest (by far)... and his brothers and sisters are closer in age to my mom than me... but it doesnt feel like age really plays a role in it anymore... just one big happy family

Re: Spinoff: Do you get along with FIL's
We've hit our rough parts, especially in teh beginning. His mother is a very german woman who you don't really know how she actaully feels about anything. She drinks whenever I see her and sometimes things come out of her mouth that I can really offended by, like a couple of months before Jim proposed she said that she didn't think that Jim would ever get married. And it really hurt my feelings that she woudl say that and then teh following day she either didn't remember or thought nothing of it. But then when we got engaged, she was just beaming and so excited that it made everything that we had gone through, just not even worth it.
But its been 3 years and I have to say, I really like them. I like who they are and my gosh, they raised such an amazing guy its so hard not to like them.

Re: Spinoff: Do you get along with FIL's
I wouldn't go so far and say that we don't get along, but my FIL's can be difficult. My FFIL lives out of state and we don't see him that often, but whenever we do, it always feels like we're at a business dinner rather than a family gathering. All he ever talks about is how much money all of his children owe him for their college educations.
Then there's my FMIL who acts as like my FH is her pseudo-husband...she can't even handle the bills for her home, my FH has to do everything for her.
Neither parent has shown any interest in the marriage of their first born son (I wouldn't want them to break a sweat or anything!) except to say that if we need money we can borrow it and pay it back...gee thanks!
Sorry ladies, I don't mean to sound like a spoiled brat, but these things make life very difficult sometimes.

Re: Spinoff: Do you get along with FIL's
I love my FMIL. She is great. She had two boys, so I am the only girl which is wonderful. She is never obstrusive or rude. FFIL I am not so sure about. My FH and him do not get along, so we really don't spend much time with him.

Re: Spinoff: Do you get along with FIL's
I don't know them that well. FIL's are in Colorado and my FI only talks to them sporadically. FMIL and I got off to a rough start because she is a true Southern Belle who became a military wife and believes the woman's role is to further the mans career. I don't think like that.
Originally, my Future Sister in laws told me that their mother called me the 'Loud Mouthed New Yorker'. She has since softened or feigns to like me enough. I am happy to say my family loves my FI.

Re: Spinoff: Do you get along with FIL's
Thankfully I do get along with the future-in- laws--although I often disagree with them, they are the type to embrace differences and are very tolerant of me and my 'nuiances.' My future brother in law--not so much. It's amazing they came from the same parents, because all of my fiancee's best characteristics are completely absent (or appear to be) from his brother! My future father in law even taught me how to ski!
