[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]S/o, of course, of the nutty MIL who wants to demand her DIL’s entire family spends Christmas at MIL’s house every year :)

My parents have only met my ILs once in person, on our wedding weekend. We got married later in life (late 30s) and they live on opposite sides of the country.

I would not want them to be closer. My mom shared inappropriate things about me with my MIL at my wedding (nothing that was a secret and certainly nothing my DH doesn’t know, but she said derogatory things about me at my own wedding to my new family which I consider a real breach of trust) so I have zero interest in them hanging out.

Are your parents and IL’s close? Friendly? If so, how did that relationship evolve? Just curious— I am happy with my current family set up.[/quote]

My MIL will call my mom and talk at her for a couple hours periodically. My mom doesn’t mind but it’s not a reciprocal relationship at all. We live near my parents and my MiL was/is very jealous but my mom always being really gracious has helped. My dad and my FIL get along well on the handful of times that we have had kid centered occasions for them to be together.

My mom LOVES my brothers in law’s and they joined us for Christmas. It’s very different because they live close by so can have time just their family separately too. I actually really like my brother’s ILs too so this has worked out well.[/quote]
