In-law horror stories... & go!

My in-laws are great!

Same as Ellsy. My in-laws are the best.

I have none. My in-laws are more wonderful than I could've possibly hoped for.

This isn't terrible, but every time my MIL has one drink she starts talking about how DH is so old and needs to have kids ASAP. He's 31. I usually steer her away from that conversation but it's frustrating.

My FMIL is older than my grandmothers and she is a grandmother herself. My FH was a surprise late in life for her. Sometimes she treats me like a grand kid or a young child which drives me CRAZY, but that's just who she is and I am weird about being independent so I have learned to not take it personal.

I love my in laws! Doesn't mean I don't have a story... FMIL was telling people we were having a local reception after we came back from our honeymoon for those who couldn't make it to PR. I saw an email she wrote. I was shaken. She was stating it in such detailed fact. It ended up being a misunderstanding. FH had told a family member who already knows they can't make it that we can get together for dinner to celebrate. That got convoluted some how into a second reception when it was really just a dinner date with that family member.

Why don't you start with a couple of your own?

Not too many horror stories. FH's dad passed away 20+ years ago and I love his mom. His step dad was awesome too but also passed 3 years ago.

Couple things I'm not fond of with my FMIL....she told me that I wasn't "allowed to take her son" away from her when we jokingly talked about moving to Tennessee and she in a round about way invited herself on our honeymoon. I don't think she will actually come but still it was the principle of the fact. Other then that she's pretty awesome.

Not really a horror story- but what drives me crazy is that my FIL's (especially FMIL) treat FH like a child still.

But over all, I love them and we get along really well

Thankfully, my in laws are ANGELS. No horror stories here!

Just posting to say OP's username just put the theme song from "Married...With Children" in my head.

That's all.

For the most part my in-laws are great but as far as planning a wedding...... my FMIL needs to get a grip. She acts like this is her wedding and she keeps inviting people my FH and I don't even know and gets mad when we take them off the list... if she was going to help pay for something it'd be one thing that she's inviting all these people but she hasn't offered to pay or help pay for anything. She just needs to back off a little!

Love my in-laws and not really a horror story, but every time the family gets together they ask when we are having kids... we've been married for a month. I just add on another year every time they ask!! LOL

Love how many positive, non-horror story responses we got here! My future in-laws and I get along, but they do get on my nerves from time to time. Mostly because they baby my FH's younger brother (he's 25 years old, but they treat him like he's 10!) They literally make him chicken nuggets every night and he doesn't lift a thumb. They did the EXACT opposite for my FH, which I am so thankful for because they are 2 completely different people. My FH is so hard working and reliable.

We also used to live in their house and paid them rent (back when we were younger, just starting out, & had no money). His parents told us that the money we paid them was being put in a fund to be paid back to us in the future/go towards our down payment on our future home. However, they lied to us and were using it to pay their mortgage and never intended to pay us back. That has been the biggest hurdle for me to get over.

I have no horror stories. My in-laws are wonderful people

My FIL's were all there to watch FH propose to me on Christmas 2016. My family, unfortunately, were not invited. With that being said, we asked FMIL not to post anything on Facebook that may give it away that we got engaged because FH and I wanted to tell my parents the right way instead of them possibly finding out on Facebook. Well, guess who didn't fucking listen? His mother posted pictures on Facebook, tagged him and I in the pictures and my mother came across them minutes later. My mom called me crying upset about it. I still to this day feel so bad about how my mom found out. I still feel super pissed off at his mom about this. That's basically the only thing about her that bothers me. She doesn't listen to a damn word anyone tells her. Then when she fucks up all she can do is the "oopsy" face.

And we all do get along. Sometimes she just gets on our nerves. Lol

I love my in-laws! My FMIL has gotten on my nerves a little more since we started wedding planning, trying to guilt FH into having his brother be his best man but they are not close and trying to guilt us into inviting his niece and nephew even though we aren't having kids at the wedding. But if that's the worst thing that happens I think we're good!

Aww, @Lucky.. I sympathize! I am in the same boat - we do get along, but my in-laws do get on our nerves. My FH's mom did the same thing with Facebook when we got engaged. I asked her not to publish anything "Public" because there was a few people we didn't want to find out (family we no longer speak to), but sure enough, she did and was mad at me when I told her to take it down.

This isn't an in-law story, but my mom keeps posting on Facebook how sad she is that I'm growing up and not including her in the wedding planning, and how she is "sitting in the bleachers watching," instead of, "passing the ball to me." But in person when I ask what she would like me to do or her opinion, she gets defensive and says it's all up to me.

It literally keeps me up at night. I am not one to hold grudges but shit it hurt to hear my mom be upset about it.
