Father in law passed a little over 20 years ago. Hardly got to know him. Mother in law is awesome, couldn't ask for anyone better.

My father-in-law passed 10 years ago, June 18th. Obviously that precipitated the current situation. I only got about 10 years with him but it was enough to fill my memories for a lifetime.

I've never met any of the escorts' mothers so I've been lucky, no issues.

My GF's mothers however have been a variety of nosy pushy bitches that I didn't care for.

I got 6 good years, and then a year of watching him getting his life robbed from him by pancreatic cancer. Guy was VP at Creighton University. He did end up with a building named after him so there's that...

Thinking about now...I hope my three son in laws don’t think the wife and I are dicks...:-)

Both are passed quite a while now but I think my FIL thought that I was the son he wished he'd had. All his kids (including my war department) had rough goes at various times so he sold me the family place for what he'd owed on it, 40 cents on the dollar, just to put it in a stable name. I've honored his wishes. As far as my MIL, I loved her dearly and I could see where my spouse got some of the crazy from.

Ok, that's funny

I have a very good relationship with my MIL an FIL. Really nice people. For my FIL this is his 3rd marriage, one marriage ended up in a divorce, the 2nd one his wife died of cancer. His kids from the previous marriages are a complete cluster f*** though. Holidays at their house are interesting. I just grab a beer, sit back and watch the fireworks show.

:-) I'm pretty sure that's the approach most people take when it comes to family gatherings.

My inlaws are cool, but my father in law thinks I drink too much.

Meh, could be worse.

My girlfriends dad is one of the wisest people I know and he's really easy to talk to and get along with (huge Bills fan and loves all sports). Her step mom is very opinionated and and hard for some people to get along with, but she likes us because we don't take her bullshit seriously.

Her mother died of a glioblastoma before we met but she is still close with her step father. He is a really nice guy and also easy to talk to, but he really likes talking about himself. It can get annoying, but he is a lonely guy so I'm fine listening to him.

All around I'd say I like all of them and they like me. No problems.

Now my ex father in law...a much different story.

Wife's parents are older. I think her mom liked me better than she did her daughter, LOL. The father was an odd duck (he was a retired engineer and still wore a pocket protector) but was a nice enough guy. But after he died there have been some monetary/inheritance issues (let's just say the other child is the favorite son) so we haven't talked to her much in the past few years.

The business of inheritance is a curse on so many families. It’s just sad.
[Reply]

Yeah, let's just say the wife is getting screwed and not in a good way. I just don't understand why parents can't be fair when they account for things.
[Reply]

Fair is kind of subjective. In a lot of cases fair is not equal.
