[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it is because all of my husband's family hails from the midwest.  :wink: Sorry I'm not being smug here I just see so many people hate their mil or their sil or what have you. I can't relate! I get along with my brother's wife and her family too. I'm wondering if I just really lucked out or if what I experience is the norm?

My MIL is a wonderful lady who made me feel loved and welcome. She made me feel like her son made a wonderful choice and was grateful he found me. Who knows maybe they all talk behind my back.  :P [/quote]

I'm from the deep south.  I have a great relationship with my in-laws.  They do things that make me crazy sometimes, just like my own parents do.  But I adore them!  DH and I started dating at 15 and got married our senior years in college.  We are almost 50.  My MIL and FIL have been a part of my life for almost as long as I can remember.  I have a DIL now and she is wonderful!  [b]My oldest really, really lucked out when she chose him[/b].  I also get along with my sisters, BIL's......  [b]We just don't do drama [/b]in our family.  At least not very often.

I can only imagine how difficult it must be to have strained relationships with extended family.   [/quote]

We don't do drama, either.  It is new to me, so I stay away from it.  Some people thrive on it - it is their way or no way!  Of course, they would never admit it.

I really like what you said about your DIL.  If you are able to see others' good points, and not take everything personally, it says a ton about you as a supportive individual who is able to see outside yourself.  Your DIL is very lucky, indeed.
