Your in-laws...or soon to be in-laws...

[Marilyn. 340]

I met my in-laws about a year after we got married when I moved to the US... They wanted to all meet me at the airport but I told my hubby no ... so we met for lunch the next day....

I get along great with my in-laws We go see them about once a weekend....

I think my mother-in-law likes me more then she likes her son... She calls me "her Marilyn" sometimes...

My hubby met my parents about 3 weeks after we first met in person.... They got along great too and they really like him... my mom says he fits right into our family

My future Mom-in-law used to be my Landlady, I lodged at her house when i was university in California - we had a blast together - going shopping, watching movies, making breakfast.

It was 2 years later that she introduced me to her daughter - and, well, the rest is history! lol.

So, not only was this great Lady a friend to me, she also gave birth to the love of my life - in addition to this she is giving us a place to stay when we first get married - and she is our co-sponsor!!

My Mom In Law *ROCKS* !!

Oh yeah my parents met HIM 5 years ago - and saw him once a year, every year when he came to visit me

They didn't like him at first...but they've since come around

My inlaws are cool....very laid back Having already having had the absolute worst mil on the planet (and quite possibly the worst person I've ever met bar none besides her daughter, no lie), I was very skeptical about meeting D's mother. She is a very cool woman and we hit it off...but she's not too much to where everytime I turn around there she is.

So a perfect balance imo

Oh, and I met them all like hrmm...5 years ago or so....

I wish I could pick multiple options: I met G's mum and stepdad nearly a year before the wedding (and they've visited once since and are visiting again later this month), but we've now been married over two years and I still haven't met his dad, stepmum, sister, or stepsister.

I get along okay with his mum and stepdad I guess, I don't like the way his mum treats him but we can all act like grown-ups.

G. first met my mom and sister over a year before the wedding and they get on like a house on fire. He met my dad a couple months before the wedding and no one really knows what my dad thinks of him, so who knows?

I met all of Dave's family on my first visit over here, then he met all mine when he came to the UK. We all get on great (his mother calls me instead of him now!)

When my parents met him, they didn't say if they liked him or not and it was worrying me. The day we left their house my mum gave me the biggest hug and whispered in my ear "we absolutely love him, he's perfect". I was so relieved!!

At our wedding his dad gave me a huge hug and welcomed me to the family, which meant alot.

Happy families all around

Met my in-laws in person almost 2 years after we were married due to the lengthy immigration process, but actually I emailed and chatted with his mom about 3 months after we met online. We also talked on the phone several times before we met in person. Our relationships are just so-so, I rarely see them since we live in different towns and we're just a bit distant.

Met my in-laws on my second trip to the US in 2003. It was at a family reunion and Hubby has 11 brothers & sisters who are all married with kids and grandkids....there were so many there it was quite a party! I am an only child and so was my Ex so I had never had a BIL or SIL and now I have 11 of each and so many nieces and nephews I can't count 'em! We get on really well, they are a wonderful family and I love being a part of it

Well, my fiancee' gets along fine with my parents, and they quite like him. Of course, they also said 'anyone is better than your ex-boyfriend', to which I wholeheartedly agree.

The problem I face on his side of the family is that I came into the picture shortly after he broke up with an ex-girlfriend. His mother happened to like this ex-girlfriend, although she had no clue how abusive she was to her son. If she knew, maybe she'd change her mind. In either case... his family members, at least extended, have noticed how much happier he is, and that he actually smiles when he talks about me. That's something he never did with his ex-gf. His father seems to like me, and even his sister who hates all things foreign liked me. His mother... she's the problem.

His mother doesn't like that he's dating an older woman, who is overweight, and lives in the United States. She hates that he stays up late with me to talk on the phone, and thinks I'm a bad influence on his schooling. ... ... .. . Oh just wait until she hears that he's going to be moving here to marry me. I bet you'll hear the yelling all the way across the pond.

I actually met my husbands parents before i met him! They lived in the UK for 2 years and his parents, his brother and sister were regulars at the restaurant that I worked in at the time. I never even knew that he existed although i knew his family. In fact I even met his grandma and grandpa before I met my husband as they came over to visit and came to eat at the restaurant. It was about 8 months later that my now husband and I were introduced my a mutual friend and I realised that he was a member of the family that I always served. The reason I never met him was because they used to come to have lunch after going to church on a sunday and he never went as he had always gone out on saturday night and couldn't be bothered to get up early enough to go out and eat!! We've been together 5 years now and I get on with the In-Laws really well.

I met Bogdan's parents for the first time in 2005. We intend to marry 2007. I get along very well with them and have been made to feel like part of the family.

This is Mom and me in the garden in Romania. You can even see the back of Dad's head.

The first day I flew into Davao City I treated about 25 members of Jenny's family to dinner at Jack's Ridge. (Total cost $51). I had read that the culture in the Philippines is really family oriented. Her family is real nice and I always look forward to seeing them when I go to the Philippines.

I can't wait to meet Charle's father. His mother unfortunately passed away 10 days after we started being together, so I didn't nor will have the opportunity to meet her

Charles met my mom, but they couldn't really communicate since she doesn't speak english
