How is Your Relationship with your in-laws?

[Marie]

I have a love-hate relationship with my MIL. She is old (82) ... and she can be really sweet sometimes but ... sometimes, she can be horrible. I do not mind spending a few days with her but after - hmmm... let's say a week - she really starts to drive me nuts.

I dont really get along with MIL, We are way to much alike I am willing to face this but she does not realize it and wont budge. So now we dont get alone although I do try and try.

We moved in with MIL and SIL 3yr ago to help take care of MIL. I feel like I live in a forgein country. If my natural way to do something is to "zig" they all want to "zag". this is including my husband. Example- I fold towels the wrong way, I must because they are always folded differently in the cabinet. I want to throw out expired milk but can't until the morning of garbage pickup. We often have milk very out dated because no one remembers to do it the day of pickup.
Before we moved here I told my husband three women can't lived together, he tought that was stupid. I do believe he has changed his mind. I don't like my MIL much she can be very mean if she wants to be.

Jan - I can understand the frustration. For a very long time - most of the things I do - in my MIL's eyes, I do WRONG. It is very difficult to live in the same house with her - we did live with her when my husband and I were a lot younger - I used to feel so helpless but things have changed quite a bit. We no longer live with her - she comes over sometimes and spends a few days here with us but this time - we make the rules because it is our house. I hope it gets better for you.

I have a love-hate relationship with my MIL, she is so over protective of her son it is not even funny. She is always trying to get her way or she tries to put my husband and I against each other. For example I was breastfeed my daughter and my MIL has a problem with that and is always calling my husband and telling him that the baby needs to be on cows milk! She even argues about the name we gave her and the type of dipers we buy. The worst part is that was I tell her that it is my choice she says, "it's true.Ok" then she calls my husband and starts fighting with him and tries to make him do what she wants.

My relationship with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law is very respectful.
