[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, ask yourself if you really need to bond with them. I have a great relationship with my in laws, cordial and friendly. But I don’t bond with them. What we have in common is DH and the kids, and that is fine. It doesn’t need to be deeper than that. The pressure you are putting on yourself to connect is making you unhappy. Let it go. I would take the kids to the park or whatever and leave FIL to “rest” for a couple of hours a day. He doesn’t have to come with you.[/quote] +1 Let go of the pressure you are putting on yourself. If they irritate or annoy you, that’s okay. If you don’t enjoy their company, that’s okay too. It doesn’t sound like you’re acting out on those feelings and there’s absolutely no reason to feel guilty about them. It’s your guilt or judgment of yourself that’s the problem, not your IL’s.[/quote]
