In-Laws

[aurora92]

How do you guys deal with your in-laws? Is it a good or bad relationship? Are they supportive? What is their influence in your childs life/what is it going to be?

I'm currently having a difficult time with mine.. I really struggle with how they do things & I accept that it's what works for their family, but not what I want for mine.. how do you compromise?

Well my in laws are from Mexico and I'm mixed so theres no "spanish" connection. Anyhoo well my MIL is nice and all but I don't like her...we have few words. And as for the child I'm carrying it will not be staying at her considering that she told me "oh you can feed your baby fried chicken at 4 months" and I'm just like (in my head of course) b**** no you can not,are you insane.?! And her 9 year old son weighs 180 (totally obese) and I will be damned if my kid ever gets like that so Hell to the No my child will not be going over there unsupervised.! & My fiance accepts this for these reasons.

I get along well with my in-laws .. they do things a lot differently than I would do or how I was raised to do and somethings I dnt agree with but it doesn't affect me or my views on them because I have to remember that they are apart of my husband and there values are what my husband was raised up to believe .. there influence on my son or my daughter to be will not over power what my husband and I are trying to instill because we are still the parents so I dnt sweat it

You dont compromise they had their famoly this is yours you do things the way you and your hubby want. Its not their business. If they dont like it tough apples. Ive had to tell my in laws this before bcuz they think gparents veto parents but that doesnt fly with us

Arnitia, I see what you mean about reaching out. We had a long talk today and I feel like we are better understanding one another it just left me feeling a little blue, but I'm sure it will be fine.

Stina, I'm sorry about your shower troubles! Hopefully everyone will come together for the baby & be happy regardless :-)

im closer to my inlaws then my actual family! but luckily my mother in law was my moms beat friend since i was 3 months old. My mom passed a few years ago. But i would be on the streets if it werent for my husband and his family!! i myself have NO IDEA what im going to do for my shower. Everyone hates my family! lol

OMG I have the most wonderful inlaws there so supportive of me and only want the best for me I talk to them everyday and also study with them . Once my daughter is here and she's old enough to understand my daughter my mil and my self will all be studying the word of God together. So I can't wait. I think its all about reaching out.

I appreciate both of your input. I have been stressing about this so much lately & I was just curious how other people do it!

You have to compromise, I had the same issue but I realize that they are the grandparents and they have a right to teach their grandchild what they feel he/she needs to know. I accept their family values and they accept ours. Since we got that all figured out everything is great and they are excited now. They are actually trying to help us find a house that is relatively near both their house and my family so we can all be near when needed.

Idk how to answer your question,my in laws are completely out of the picture my bf has never really known his mom and his dad...lets just say his dad will never be alone with my kid, and i highly doubt he cares ha,but how my bf deals with my parents is he just tells them straight up if he doesn't agree with certain things they believe in, brutal honesty is probably the best bet
