[quote=Anonymous]I got along fine with MIL.  We had plenty of differences of opinions, but were both respectful and treated each other with kindness.  Unfortunately she has passed away.
I do NOT get along with FIL, but neither does DH, so it's not really an issue.  FIL has serious mental health issues and was borderline abusive, and DH only deals with him for the necessities.  We put up with him together and then go commiserate together.  God rest MIL's soul for what she put up with.

DH loves my parents.  They call him the son they never had (I only have sisters). He calls my dad the father he wished he'd had.

So why don't people on this board get along with in-laws?  Partly because people love to complain more than they talk about what's good. And partly because this board attracts Type A know-it-alls who can't stand anyone else having a say ... but unfortunately married someone whose parents are similar. 
(I'm sure there's a whole psychology experiment on why the spouses married someone so similar in temperament to their parents ... but that's a question for another day)[/quote]
