[quote=Anonymous]My DH gets along well with my family because my dad is laid back and just likes that he provides for me and the kids, is a loving dad, etc etc. He doesn't judge how clean he keeps our house or how well our lawn is mowed. He doesn't judge my DH if my kids are wearing stripes and polka dots at the same time. He doesn't judge his cooking or think he doesn't cook enough. He doesn't complain my DH doesn't call him enough. He doesn't expect gifts, cards or letters from my DH for birthdays etc. 
however, My MIL does all of those things towards me. I am constantly judged and held up to a standard that she has set for herself. Not one that DH wants and he often complains about how his mom micromanaged him and what he wore and is happy i don't do that for the kids. However, he says little when she makes remarks like "well isn't that an interesting outfit your mom let you wear" to me and the kids (yes, not in a kind way, her tone is sarcastic/rude). 
Of course i don't get along with someone who has made it her mission to find fault in me just breathing. 
Of course DH likes my family, they don't judge him, put unrealistic expectations on him or hold him responsible for every interaction. [/quote]
