[quote=Anonymous]I generally like most of my in laws, but there are some of them who are just SO different than me. I don't dislike them, but I feel I have to be "on" with them. The thing I've decided to do is just see the best in all of them. Oh sure, my SIL is a religious zealot and I have to mind my Ps and Qs around her. But she's sweet, and means well. So I just watch my cussing and talk to her about neutral topics. My other in laws HATE alcohol. Like, will not be in its presence. So wine is out! But you know what- they are GREAT with my DC and they make me laugh. You just can't focus on the things that make them different than you. Focus on what is good about them and just go with it. You don't have to see them all the time, just some of the time. I also refuse to gossip or speak badly about any of them. Because the more you do that, the easier it is to find things to nitpick about. And then you feel guilty next time you see them which makes you feel worse and then you dislike their presence more.
