Good morning ladies! Happy Monday for those of you who had off yesterday.
I talked to both my parents on the phone last night and as my mom asked how FH was doing (I was mad at him so I didn't give her a good answer) it made me think of in-laws.....
1. Do you get along with your Future in-laws? How and when did you first meet them?
2. How do your parents and family react to FH? Has their attitude or demeanor changed once you two become engaged?

1. I do get along with my in-laws, FH's dad and step-mom are super great and nice. I met them during the summer 3-4 months after we'd been dating. We stayed at their lakehouse and so it was an entire weekend and I started to feel really awkward at times like I didn't belong, but they have really tried to make me feel welcome.
FH's sister is crazy though. He doesn't have a relationship with his mom and his sister is 10 years older and takes his mom's place. She is wayyy too much up in our business and last night he told me she'll want to make a speech at the wedding, I told him she can have one at the RD. Its not that she's not nice, because she is, she's just really protective and well... crazy. As soon as she heard we were gettign engaged she asked if she would be in the wedding, and then when he told her the wedding would be in NY she freaked out saying, 'well I guess I won't be in the wedding any more'... she's from California, we don't live in California, so no matter what she would have to travel, also... its not her wedding!! Overall though, the whole family is great.
2. My family is crazy to begin with so I'm really lucky FH can put up with them. My parents have never really liked any of my exes although they've always been nice to them. They went out of their way to be nice to FH but since we lived on opposite coasts there was never much interaction. Since we've gotten engaged my mom goes out of her way to include him, send him care packages and gifts, and call hiim. He freaked out when she said she wanted to Skype with him (keep in mind, me and him are separated right now, so I wouldn't be there to save him). I just keep reminding him that he's really lucky that they like him so much because they've always held the stand of nothign is good enough for our little girl

Unfortunately my future inlays are not alive. I never met his mom because she died when he was young. I met his dad but he was very far along with parkinsons so it was not the same. I was there in the hospital for the last 2 months with him but he was not so aware of what was going on.
2. How do your parents and family react to FH? Has their attitude or demeanor changed once you two become engaged?
My family likes FH more than they like me...haha

never met FH mother (she passed away when he was three). His father is very complex man and I have such a hard time reading him. I do love him and I think he nice but very complex!!!! I met the WHOLE family at Hanakuah dinner in 2007. Fh leave me in the room with his aunts, I could've killed him
2. How do your parents and family react to FH? Has their attitude or demeanor changed once you two become engaged?
My parents are divorce and I really don't get along with my mother. So her opinion doesn't really matter and I wouldn't know what it was. My dad loves him and that all that matters to me :) no attiude change at all. if anything, his family loves me more.
Funny story: I was speaking to his aunt this week and she said she was watching old home movies, he turns to her husband and goes 'where Michelle'? He in return said 2006, Michelle wasn't in Jordan live, she like really I feel she always been apart of this family :D
So sweet

1. Do you get along with your Future in-laws? How and when did you first meet them? --I get along with both of my Inlaws and I couldn't be any happier with them. I guess inlaws always have that stigma about them....but mine are great!
2. How do your parents and family react to FH? Has their attitude or demeanor changed once you two become engaged?
My mother loves loves loves my FH! She always tells me that I chose someone whose perfect for me! She's even said that if she was younger she would date someone with a similar personality looks etc. (not in a creepy way) she's just happy that she raised me right because I chose a man who treats me like a princess.

Ughh the dreaded question... FFIL is the sweetest man ever!!!!!.. FMIL... we USED to get along great! until FH and I got engaged.. and its not really that we dont get along.. we just see things VERY differently especially when it comes to planning the wedding. She thinks shes the bride!!
I met them after a couple of weeks at their house.
2. How do your parents and family react to FH? Has their attitude or demeanor changed once you two become engaged?
My parents ADORE my FH! they absolutely love him and think hes great! they are so excited and happy were engaged and getting married!

1. Do you get along with your Future in-laws? How and when did you first meet them? I absolutely loveeeeeeeee my FIL's! I first met them at FH's softball game. I was sitting in the stands watching and then FH introduced me to his parents after. They sometimes go to his games to watch and happened to be there that day.
2. How do your parents and family react to FH? Has their attitude or demeanor changed once you two become engaged? My parents and family like FH a lot, especially my dad because they played softball together (FH played D1 baseball in college), so my father refers to him as his 'secret weapon'
The attitudes have not changed at all towards him. They're extremely happy that he'll be joining our family.

Lol FH's Mom tolerates me I think. I was told that she would never like anyone marrying her sons, she didn't go to either of FHs brothers weddings. Shes been staying with us until her apt is ready but I doubt she likes the idea of us getting married. Who knows. I try not to let it bother me.
On the other hand my parents adore him!!

She didn't go to her own son's weddings? Are you kidding? Is she planning on skipping yours too?

1- I get along great with both my FIL's! I met them the first time FH and I 'hung out', we were 15 so I was dropped off at his house. Since I basically grew up with them for the past 9 years I feel like they are like 2nd parents to me.
2- My parents LOVE FH! They always have, but even more so now that we are engaged.

i get along with my future in laws more so with his mom then his dad but i love them both. As far as my family my mom was very easy going it was my grandma who had a problem with FH , It took her until we got engaged that she was finally accepting of him. She did not like that he was not something important but that never bothered me and once we were together like five years she reliazed he was not going ot going anywhere.

Re: *~*Terrific Tuesday QOTD 18 Jan *~*
I truly love my future in laws and his entire extended family. I feel so grateful to be marrying into such a good family. I met my FIL's when we were dating for apporx 4 month. FH had invited me over to his parents for a bbq, I clicked with them from that first day
My family didn't really express their feelings in the beginning, I guess they were waiting to see if it stuck. lol As we became more serious it became obvious that they were fond of him. They now treat him like their son, it's wonderful.
