[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think people would realize that they choose their inlaws when they choose the inlaw's child.  Especially now that most people don't marry until they are well into their 20s or more likely in their 30s.  Seems like people that old ought to realize it's a package deal and there could be a lot of strife in your life if you accept difficult people as your inlaws.  But, I guess most people aren't willing to pass on a person who has difficult parents even though they may have an inkling that there will be a hefty price to pay.[/quote]

We got married young-24/25. I’d met my ILs 4 times at that point. We live across the country from them and being in grad school meant we had little spare money to fly there. I’d been to their home once and the other 3 meetings were chaotic family events- graduations and a wedding. The crazy didn’t start to really appear until after we got married simply because of distance and the fact we didn’t I’ve together so I wasn’t privy to the conversations my now husband would have with via phone.
