[quote=Anonymous]While I envy those with a close IL bond like the pp above, I think it is probably a bell curve, with the peak/most people falling in the "I'm ambivalent about you but will put on a cheery face for holidays" category. I think both the people who are outwardly hostile to ILs or those like your sis are minorities at either end of the spectrum. Sounds like your relationship might skew more toward the hostile side, but likely still within a normal range. ILs are hard, because while you're used to your own family's crazy, getting used to someone else's family's crazy is hard. In my case, my dad is a challenge, and so is my MIL-- but DH finds my dad more annoying and I feel the same about his mom. All this to say-- while your ILs sound like a piece of work, I don't think you should expect what your sister has. I think that's an outlier, and if you compare your relationship to that, you'll always be disappointed. [/quote]
