[quote=Anonymous]I think family can still be family even if you aren't naturally friends - my sister & I have this. We're there for each other when we need each other, but our personalities don't naturally click and that's fine. Show up for an annual function - whether it's the 4th of July trip or Christmas, but skip out on the rest and send your well wishes while your kids & husband head off without you. If your ILs ever need help, be there to help, like you would for any other family. But there's no need to pretend that you're BFFs with the ILs. Keep it pleasant and light hearted. Be there when family needs you. That's really the key to getting along with ILs anyway - be helpful, handover the grandkids often, and otherwise be scarce. [/quote]
