[quote=Anonymous]I think we've had a lot more time to adjust to the idiosyncrasies of our own families. Our in-laws are sprung on us relatively quickly. By nature, we mostly think that the family who raised us is normal, and every other family is odd. My mom is a pack-rat, on the verge of being a hoarder. DH's mom never speaks plainly. She'll say, "I need to go to the store," when what she means is, "Can I please borrow your car so I can go to the store?" My mom bugs my husband, and his mom bugs me. When I complain to DH about something his mom said or didn't say, he tells me, "that's how she is." When DH is getting upset because we barely have room to make it to the bed when we stay at my parent's house, I tell him, "that's how she is." I do think that we often can be really hard on in-laws - in both directions.[/quote]
