Current in laws - lovely. Ma in law is a typical white haired, rosy cheeked grannie who never says a bad word about anyone. Pa in law looks like an older Kenny Rodgers. He will do anything to help anyone. They're in their 80's and the nicest people I've ever known.
My first husbands mother was evil. She was mega rich but it didn't make her happy. She thrived on telling lies about people so she could step back and enjoy the ensuing conflict. Another nasty habit was to steal (I caught her in my purse more than once) and then blame the theft on someone else. Horrid, horrid woman.
I've always hoped she'll be buried rather than cremated so that I'll have a grave to dance on.

I used to get on brilliantly with mine, I was actually closer to them than to my own parents. Then my husband and I split up when I was pregnant and although things were fine at first, they've slowly got worse and worse and now I barely speak to them. We haven't actually fallen out but it's a case of out of sight out of mind, in my opinion. They have never helped me out with my son and hardly see him but I'm not 100% sure this isn't because of my ex, although I can't see why as we split pretty amicably. I think if I'm honest with myself, my in laws probably think it's me with the problem but I am too stubborn and proud to give in and make the first move, they've hurt be too bad now.
My husband's dad died 3 years before I met him; his mum is a twisted emotionally manipulative ***** who threw him out the house 14 years ago because he refused to promise that she would always be the most important person in his life - he hasn't spoken to her since.
Makes planning Christmas a lot easier - we never fight about whose family we're spending it with. : )

Hey :)
I get on great with my fellas family, they are all lovely!
I have only met his mums side of the family, and his dad when he came over from S.A for 3 weeks to stay with us 18 months ago.
We have just booked a Villa for me, my OH, my mum and stepdad, his mum, little sis, big sis, her husband and their baby to all go on holiday together in September!
My fella also gets on amazingly with my family, and my mum and stepdad see him completely as family now and love him to pieces! :)

My father in law was the kindest, most gentle man (and a real gentleman) I had ever met and I felt proud to know him and take his surname. After the divorce, I never wanted to lose that particular name, in fact I only kept it because of him. Unfortunately, he passed away a couple of years ago, but I still think most fondly of him and am proud to have known him.
