Wanna share the story?

Too much to type, huh? LOL

My mil was staying with us for 2 weeks when we first married. She rearranged my kitchen cabinets while I was at work the first day she was here. And I mean moved just about everything to 'BETTER' places. But it's way in the past for me.

BTW I'm a mil now since last Tuesday. Now that's weird. I never thought of that yet.

OMYGOD, it is way too long and full of drama, I'm sure many of you have similar stories, I started to type and realized it would be pages. It's the reason that's it's 12:22 am and I'm still up. I'm not perfect and I have my role in this whole affair but Holy Cow!

It's difficult to blend families I hope this whole thing blows over, it probably won't, but I guess life would just be plain and boring without In-Laws!

Thank goodness for this place!

I really don't have stories. I get along with my in-laws, although, I never got a chance to meet DH's mom, since she died a year before I met him. DH's dad died about a year-and-a-half ago. We really didn't have issues, either. I have been lucky. My 2 SILs are nice and I like both of them, too.

My dh and I both got really lucky in the in-law department. He and I began dating when I was 16 (I'm now 46), and married when I was 23. I pretty much grew up in his family as well as mine.

As a p.s.....to give you an idea of how much my dh thinks of my family - when my dad died in 2000, it was dh's idea to ask my mom to come and live with us. We sold both our homes, and bought a larger one, and we've been in this living situation for 3 years now. We take care of each other.

I love my inlaws and they love me so I'm lucky. They aren't the *nosy* types who have to be in your business every day, but we are in touch weekly, so it's really nice. And comforting for me right now, since I'm losing my Mom soon......

By Heaventree on Thursday, February 3, 2005 - 02:50 pm:

Oh Karen I'm so sorry to hear about your mom ((((HUGS)))). It's good to hear that you have a support network around you and people that love you.

I too have a good relationship with my husband's parents. It's DH's sister's husband I'm having a hard time with. He's coming over tonight to clear the air, wish me luck.

By Heaventree on Thursday, February 3, 2005 - 09:11 pm:

So the brother-in-law and I went out for dinner tonight and cleared the air. What relief, but now he's back staying with us on and off. I can live with that now that we have established some ground rules.

It's funny about people's perceptions and how quickly things can get out of hand. Anyway I'm happy it didn't end up being one of those huge family blow-ups that ends up with people not speaking to each other for years. Life's too short and it's just not worth it.

Koodos to him for having the courage to take the first step to making things better.

Now he won't suffer the prune brownies! LOL My husband loves them!

By Rayanne on Thursday, February 3, 2005 - 10:33 pm:

I'm glad that things went well.
You are right when you say that life is too short.
I am glad that someone got to enjoy those brownies.
