Poll: Relationships with MIL
I was thinking this morning about how many of us had issues with our MIL's while planning the wedding. I was just curious if/how your relationship with your MIL has changed since the wedding.
Me: My IL's are strict Catholics, so they naturally frowned upon us living together before marriage. They never said anything, but their (her) actions spoke much louder than words ever could.
I'm now treated a little more warmly as a "member of the family" now. She didn't do all of my Christmas shopping at the Dollar Store (no word of a lie) this year, so that was an improvement. After five years together they still totally forgot about my birthday though. My family always calls DH on his. Oh well!
Re: Poll: Relationships with MIL
Well...mine has gotten a little bit better. When we first got married she was awful...she would just come in our home with out knocking (she lives 100ft away)
. Now she at least calls before she comes over. Now I feel ya on the birthday thing...DH and I have been dating since 02- and NONE of his family remembered my birthday! It is aggravating. As long as MIL keeps her nose out of our business everything is good.

Day Three
I don't really have a relationship with MIL, nor do I care to "try" to have one. She burned her bridge with me a long time ago and it is what it is. She isn't awful or anything, I just don't agree with her old fashioned views on life or her opinion on how we "should" live ours.
We didn't really have issues with wedding planning because I laid down the law and made all the plans. I did not consult her with decisions, I said "this is what we are doing" and that is what was done. I am sure she had things to say about it, but whatever.
FIL and SMIL are great though...no issues.
