PP, I like you!
But I just don't get what is wrong with kids taking baths. Please explain!
It's not healthy. It will make them sick.
When the kids visit, they have them sit on a stepstool in the bathtub, and pour water over their heads using a pot from the kitchen.
Believe me when I say this is only the tiniest sliver of the millions of reasons why they dislike me. A few more:
--I go to a chiropractor.
--I birth at home.
--I don't blow dry the kids' hair.
--I let the kids get TOO DARK in the summer.
--something x-rated that I can't repeat but has to do with the living room floor

FIL dislikes any sign of intellectualism. He lectures DH from toddlerhood about how he should hide his intelligence. So
FIL can't stand my brainiac and slightly obnoxious dad. I think FIL thinks I might be smarter than him/intellectual/ liberal. MIL is the most competitive person alive. It killed her when I had twins, that I had accomplished something she hadn't. MIL also likes ostentatious wealth which neither
My parents nor me display. But they are wonderful grandparents!

I'm not Jewish. I don't like meatloaf, brisket or cabbage rolls. I don't like to gossip about other people. I don't wear makeup and shop only when necessary.

Wow this thread is eye opening. My in laws are amazing. They like me and I like them! Well, one of DH's cousins did defriend me on Facebook with no explanation and I have no idea why, so we'll assume she dislikes me for some reason but other than that, the rest of us are cool. I can't even imagine having this kind of conflict with my in laws...

I have a fake disease (Celiac Disease) that offends them when I can't eat their meals and bring my own food.

OMG! I feel really bad for you. My SIL is married to an Indian guy and I could NEVER live under the criticisms/"rules"/materialism. Good for you!

That I am smarter than their son and make more money and I'm just generally more "together" than he or they are.
That I kept my maiden name
That their grandchildren are in daycare.

1. I am Catholic and my husband agreed to raise our children Catholic.
2. I do not recognize her as our family's matriarch.
3. We do not spend every weekend and every holiday at her home.
4. We share holidays equally with my family.

similar to some others:
- I don't go to church so my morals must be compromised
- have a career which apparently leads to something terrible
- share child rearing and home chores 50/50 with DH rather than wait on him
- come from a wealthier family
