[Closed] Parents-in-law

Yes you are. Aren't you.

Mine arrive tomorrow. I am bracing myself for comments about the state of my kitchen (dripping tap, missing cupboard doors, shit oven) despite her knowing that the architects plans for an extension including new kitchen are with the builder who is waiting to start once Scottish Water pull their finger out and give the go ahead. She'll still go on about it.

I really love my in-laws. They're bloody good fun, drink merrily and always know when to leave.

Gently remind them that you're going spend their money frivolously when they're dead.
RM.

My in-laws are awesome too. Good crack, always helping out when they can and never prying.

Father-in-law will turn his hand to anything, good bloke to know and the mother-in-law is a brilliant cook and gardener.

Guess this isn't helping the OP!

Yeah, I sometimes complain about the in-laws. Then I realise how much worse my own relatives are 🙂

(actually both sets are pretty good, no-one's perfect of course).

I love hearing how amazingly at life in general all my other cousins are doing - and that's just from my own mum. 😆

My outlaws are also staying over this weekend,they are a reminder of how lucky I am to have got it together with their daughter,love them to bits.

I am off to pick up my birthday present from mine in Bristol.

Then drive it home 😉

@deadlydarcy. Exactly this.

ive got to drive the motherinlaw down to london and back from a wedding tomorrow.

I feel i might accidentally leave her in the fast lane of the m1....

My in-laws (well one half of them) live in Tenerife... what's not to like? Much cheapness for a bit of wintersun!

The other half don't bother us much, 1 visit every 2-3yrs is fine by me.

It's good to be gently reminded occasionally just how much of a failure I am in everything I do.

id happily pay for mine to be killed off.....

I'd much rather spend time with my inlaws than my actual family. They're just nicer people.

Exactly the same here, and now both my parents are gone they are the closest thing I have to that + they treat me like the son they never had 🙂

Exactly this. Maybe less so with parents but certainly applicable to siblings/aunts and uncles/cousins etc.

I don't need to kill mine off.
They seem to be doing a great job of drinking themselves to Oblivion.

I really like mine! Although I am slightly disappointed with their unbridled enthusiam for Brexit... 🙂 I suspect that particular reality will bite sooner rather than later.
