My bf's mom is honestly the best I love her ...and her baking...

I can't definitely say yet. So far I like them

I do! I just sent his grandparents an e-card this morning yea his granny and I email each other lol.
and his mom and I have always been very close, she has a boyfriend now and its drifiting us apart a little bit but we'll get back on track soon

I like them all - his brother is probably the onyl one I have ever butted heads with, but thats because his gf is a MEGAb*tchFACE lol! No one likes her anyways.

But yea his sis and me are great friends! His mom and grandmas are so cuute!

I love his mom dearly, and his sister and I get along okay, but I cannot stand his dad! Of of course my bf doesn't know that so I will be on my best behavior this xmas!

for the most part, things are good with his fam... we get along, email, yadda yadda.

yet when we are all together, things seem tense and awkward. haven't quite put my finger on it, but would like to so things can be less weird.

I don't like the choices. One needs to be "They are very nice, but we have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in common." Since that is the case, we don't spend a lot of time talking. My bf isn't really close with his family. I do like his brother's girlfriend though!

They're ok. I don't know them THAT well yet though. His stepdad is a bit of a "know it all" and irritating.

i love spending time with them! his dad just emailed me, actually! and i facebook his mom and sister a lot too. we definitely get along.

... when did 'facebook' become a verb? we are SO doomed. lol.

Yes, my boyfriend's family are all very nice and very nice to me. I have spent the last two christmas with my ex's family and they were all terrible and angry towards each other. SO passive aggressive and they used to say horrible things about me behind my back.

I am looking forward to christmas this year SO much.

They are okay in moderation.

Said8me, I think around the same time Google became a verb.

'google' i've heard before... 'facebook' just sounds weird.

and still, email is one thing... but i would never 'facebook' my boyfriend's parents. that's just a little creepy.

i also found the mom on facebook thing creepy at first, but i didn't make her the account. she sends me pictures and i make comments, and this week, we've discussed appetizers for Xmas dinner. i'm not going to NOT talk to her when she talks to me!

I love my Mother and Father In-Law! I am closer to them then my own parents.

hehe skigurl, you are kinder than me! i'd have blocked her, and told her i 'deleted my account' like i told my sister. :-X

I still don't understand communicating with family on those sites. Email, to cut down on phone expenses...but why all that work to maintain a page? My mother does it...but she's a nut I barely talk to in person.

Oh the question, I still adore my ex's mother and family. We don't talk often but I always liked them. He and his brother and SIL went to school with me. His SIL and I were cheerleaders together!! My MIL still sends me Christmas and Birthday cards with giftcards She breaks the whole MIL code.

I know that if I didn't like a guy's family I wouldn't even date him though.

Yeah, his immediate family is awesome!

No. They are jealous neurotics. I never should have married him, either.

My husband's family is OK. They are nice and generous, but I don't think I'll ever like them as much as my family or be quite as comfortable around them.

Where the hell is the "I'd rather have a root canal than be around my evil mother-in-law and her mini-me of a daughter??"

These options aren't fair. There are some of us who are very disappointed by their in-laws and would rather just avoid them and their drama.

I love my boyfriends family. Theyre the family i should have been born into, he should have been born in mine... we both like each others families, so thats good. His mom is the best cook ever. I love hangin out with his mom, its like how i am with my mom, were pals.

I would hope i wasnt born into my husbands family...that would make us siblings and ew.

In-laws... only in small doses, please.

Yes and no. My husband's immediate family is f'ed in the head, but I do like many people in his extended family.

Yeah, I adore his family. I mean, they are an aquired taste for some, but they are very sweet, funny, VERY humble, down-to-earth people. His family is better than my own, to be honest. He likes my family enough, even though my family is the polar opposite of his, broken, dysfunctional, loud, and just all out friggen crazy. However, while I do adore his family, they can be a bit clique-y and annoying. I guess it depends on the day!

Love them. And my husband gets along well with my family too. We are lucky, I guess.

My husband's parents are THE BEST. I love them to bits. His mom and I hit it off right away and speak regularly- more often than my husband speaks with them!

My soon to be MIL is great, my fiance's siblings and their wives have their moments, and I can't stand his step dad because he deliberately tries to upset me. So it's an interesting dynamic when we get together.

I get along great with his family, probably a good thing since I'll be marrying into it . His niece is adorable and makes me want kids so badly.

Once thing I have realized is I won't have any future MIL drama because she is the type that won't butt in unless she is asked to.

No. Truthfully, my husband's family is the only liability in my marriage. We are very different people -- different outlooks, values, etc. My husband is considerably different from them (he and I share more similarities, and hence, we're suitable for each other), but his family is something else. In all fairness, though, they're probably think I'm strange, too.

well wow, i'm jealous of all of you. my boyfriend i have been dating for a year and a half now, and his mother still refuses to accept that we are together. she hates me, and i will never know the reason why. it sucks. i love his sister, and his dad seems nice, but it seems like he can never truly be nice to me because of the mother.

ughhh, how i wish it could be like everyone else. i would really like to have a relationship with his family but i don't see how it could happen with all the animosity.
and fyi, she has no real reason to dislike me: i'm a dean's list student, come from a good family, i've had a job since i was sixteen, i work hard, etc. i don't understand it at all.

I love my husband's family, they've been almost more of a family to me than my own. I've lived with them for 2 years, 1 1/2 of those years while I wasn't married.

They took me in and took care of me. They love me as one of the fam as if I have been there forever. His Mom and I talk a lot.

I'm with GlowingMoon. My boyfriend's family is his only liability. There are a few exceptions, like his grandparents and his sister and brother-in-law, but for the most part his family is chock full of gossiping back-stabbers and his dad just goes along with it. I've gotten literally sick to my stomach seeing how they treat each other, and wondering how they talk about me when I'm not there.

I put up with them and suck it up for my boyfriend's sake, but after 5 years, I'm pretty sure it's not going to be in-law bliss when we get married.

I love his parents, but being around his extended family is like hitting myself on the head with a hammer only less fun.

His grandfather likes to crack anti-Semetic jokes (my grandparents participation in the Dutch resistant movement in WW2, so that doesn't sit well with me) and his grandmother is one of those "I don't want to say anything bad, but [insert negative comment here] kind of people. Then there's the aunts/uncles/cousins who are just a boat load of fun.

I absolutely adore my boyfriend's family. I love going over there every weekend because not only are they hospitable, but they treat me SO well, make me laugh nonstop, and his mom cooks the most delicious meals. I felt kind of bad going over there all the time, but they have never made me feel like I have intruded. I love them.

I do love my bf's family. His parents (especially his mom) are so nice and inviting and there's always room for me even if I'm not expected. They even invite me on vacations!

i like his family better then my own!

My Bf's mom can be very difficult and hard to please but for the most part his parents are very caring and genuine. His brother is a know-it-all but very fun to be around.

no.

I am of a very different culture than my in-laws. I adore my father-in-law, but we don't have much to talk about. My sister-in-law and I IM all the time... but not about politics, science, or a lot of other things. And with my mother-in-law... we don't have any beef with each other, but I keep my distance because I don't appreciate how she treats her son and I don't want a closer relationship with her than what my husband has with her.

I absolutely adore all of my husband's family.They've treated me like royality since the first time I met them. There's nothing I wouldn't do for any of my in-laws.....

i cant stand the mother. the sister and i get along fine. but the rest, i cant stand them.

My boyfriend's family swear a lot, and are extremely kind and hilarious...he comes from good stock!

we're not that close/serious yet but I think they are nice, have talked to them on the phone once or twice and didn't meet his brother yet
