[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know many people in all areas of the country with in law problems. It’s just what happens when different families are sort of forced together.

If you don’t have in law issues be glad![/quote]

+1. My MIL is diagnosed with NPD, depression, and anxiety. There is nothing I would like more right now than for MIL to disappear and stop showing up at my house uninvited and staying for extended periods (4+ days at a time), giving me religious junk for a religion neither of us follows, and making snarky comments about our home and how my parents live closer.

There is going to be friction whenever you can't 'escape' a bad relationship you would never have suffered on your own and you end up being in close quarters for extended time periods multiple times a year. These issues wouldn't exist if the couple were a team and the child of the ILs established and maintained fair boundaries. Also, a lot of ILs are bullies. As it is, my ILs are unhappy I'm not a better doormat for them and haven't agreed to move back to their tiny town with zero opportunities and let MIL raise my children since my and SIL's only use is to be incubators to give her grandchildren. Yes, MIL really said that to DH.

Fwiw, everyone I know has IL issues to some degree. [/quote]
