GTKY: H

I know we have talked about our MIL's and how we feel about them. But is there anyone in H's family you don't like?

Re: GTKY: H

  • H's family consists of my crazy MIL, 2 aunts and 1 cousin.  I don't care for my MIL (as we know) or her one sister who is just as dramatic and crazy as my MIL.  His other Aunt and cousin are both very nice.

  • There is no one I"hate", they can all get on my nerves but they are generally good decent people
    "Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly"
  • I love H's family. I feel very blessed that I have such wonderful ILs. They are all so sweet to me. I know H isn't too fond of some of my family but neither am I.

  • I don't dislike any of them. While they all have their quirks his family is pretty awesome and I'm lucky. 

    There is however a friend of the family who they consider family and I do not like their daughter. I'm nice to her and don't say anything in front of H but she's a total spoiled brat. This was the girl who's 2nd wedding we went to last year. We also went to her first in 2007. She also has the nerve to try and give me relationship advice.

  • We all know I dislike BIL but H's grandmother and aunt are pieces of work. His aunt just doesn't come around unless it benefits her. This includes when her sister was dying and was living with us, 10 min from where she works, it still was hard for her to come visit. And H's grandmother is just an old bat, she can't see she's almost legally blind and still drives. She also tried to take a lot of MIL's stuff while she was dying and she tried to take a lot of her money. Neither one of them ever call and I haven't seen them since my baby shower and before that it was MIL's funeral. H even had to pay for some cousin's to stay in a hotel when they came in for MIL's funeral because his grandmother wouldn't let them stay at her house (she's the one who told them about the funeral, H doesn't even know them!)

    H's immediate family is all pretty awesome. MIL has her quirks but whatever. BIL's gf is kinda special. She goes through jobs like I change my underwear, she's only 20 but she really immature and unfortunately her parents are no better so she comes by it quite honestly. H's grandparents on his mom's side kinda suck. When MIL was pregnant, they made it quite clear that this was 'their' time and to not expect them to babysit etc. etc. while they did see all their grandchildren, they were kinda indifferent to everything. Now as h and his siblings have gotten older, they are all kinda indifferent to their grandparents. They spend the winter in Arizona, Mil told them I was pregnant, we didn't even get so much as an email saying congrats. They've been back for a month now and we haven't heard from or seen them. We see them twice a year usually whether we want to or not. They have their favourite grand kids, and h and his siblings aren't them but whatever. It doesn't bother h, it really bothers MIL though, she wishes they cared more.
    As an example: h had hernia surgery on my birthday last October. My inlaws showed up the day after to make sure he was doing okay, and surprisingly enough so did the grandparents. Though, the first words out of grandpas mouth were 'you know the World Series is on?' I said 'yeah, and?' He's like 'well aren't you watching?' Nope... We sure weren't. Just had shut the tv off when we saw them pull up because, you know, figured they'd wanna chat, not watch baseball. If you wanted to watch baseball stay home. Anytime there's a family get together, it consists of everyone sitting in the living room watching golf, hockey, or baseball. Whatever happens to be on.

    That got really long.. Sorry! Haha

  • I butt heads with FIL a lot....but  mostly because we are both opinionated people with VERY different views and ideals. MIL can be overwhelming but well meaning....other then that we don't see much of DH's family. 
  • I haven't meant anyone in His family that I don't like or don't get along with. His dads side of the family can be loud and a little over the top with sarcasm when they are altogether, but I survive. I am pretty sure my family is more crazy and has more annoying people than his.

    My H's sister is suuuuuuper annoying and I'm glad she is currently living in Korea with her Army H. Tim's grandmother is Bat Sh!t Crazy and everyone in the family knows that and we just learn to ignore her whenever she speaks!
