I haven't met all of his family yet, so far, so good:)
Barbara S. Jul 25, 2008, 7:03pm EDT
Yes.
I make a point to keep at least a hundred miles between us. It works every time.

Anne W. Jul 25, 2008, 7:07pm EDT
I haven't met him yet, so I'm not sure about his family ;)
Melanie C. Jul 25, 2008, 7:19pm EDT
yes, but we don't see them that often
Elaine S. Jul 25, 2008, 7:23pm EDT
Yes
Chuck M. Jul 25, 2008, 7:23pm EDT
Not me. They're all leaches who will suck you dry.
Patricia A. Jul 25, 2008, 7:25pm EDT
I do. I sometimes feel that they don't care for me all that much but they still treat me with respect so I'm good with that.
Jennifer G. Jul 25, 2008, 7:27pm EDT
No significant other right now...
All of my boyfriend's moms have loved me, and I still talk to a lot of them on a regular basis, but the only guy that I truly loved, his mom absolutely hated me. Lol.
j - Frugal Mom - r. Jul 25, 2008, 7:32pm EDT
I do get a long with most of the once I have met.
Brenda (square peg in a round hole) H. Jul 25, 2008, 7:32pm EDT
Yes, I do.
meg pattinson Jul 25, 2008, 7:34pm EDT
i don't have a significant other.. but whenever i do.. i really hope we all get along !
FRED R. Jul 25, 2008, 7:36pm EDT
Katie,
I am fortunate, his family like mine is non existant
I only have one brother and sister left
and his parents like mine are all dead.
Vicky P. Jul 25, 2008, 7:40pm EDT
Actually I do, my MIL and I are always doing things together.
Anne Marie A. Jul 25, 2008, 7:41pm EDT
Yes I get along with my inlaws. I have been married 14 years and still haven't met all of my husband's siblings.
sheila ~the hapless housewife~ j. Jul 25, 2008, 7:47pm EDT
Most of the times; we have our moments.
Deneen L. Jul 25, 2008, 7:57pm EDT
Let's see my partners family only one of them really cares about me, the rest thinks I made their sister gay, hmmmmm so we live our life and they live their life
Larry H. Jul 25, 2008, 8:07pm EDT
Yes
Melissa B. Jul 25, 2008, 8:08pm EDT
It's a small family, so it's fairly easy to manage. I get along pretty well with my father-in-law and enjoy when we see my brother-in-law who just moved out-of-state.
Adelaide M. Jul 25, 2008, 8:33pm EDT
Yes, we get along. I just spent the past two days with them. I like his parents and extended family better than I like some of my own extended family.
Marianne R. Jul 25, 2008, 8:36pm EDT
I don't have a SO.
Mary M. Jul 25, 2008, 8:47pm EDT
Usually but not always. No relationship is perfect!
Kim M. Jul 25, 2008, 8:59pm EDT
yup!
Karel K. Jul 25, 2008, 9:04pm EDT
Most of the time.
Beth G. Jul 25, 2008, 9:07pm EDT
Yes, but my fiance doesn't get along with his sister though. Long story.
Holli G. Jul 25, 2008, 9:15pm EDT
I don't have to worry about that anymore :)
Rachel B. Jul 25, 2008, 9:29pm EDT
I get along with the majority of my husband's family. Well everyone but his brother, who thinks I'm the anti-christ. They basically became my family when we got married. All of my family lives at least 8 hours away.
Gina M. Jul 25, 2008, 9:36pm EDT
That's not really an issue for me, my boyfriend doesn't have any family here, all of his family is back in his homeland, Ireland. He's only been in America for 10 years.
Debra B. Jul 25, 2008, 9:43pm EDT
_When_ I had a significant other, I got along with his family fine. I didn't like all of them, but we got along.
Charlie B. Jul 25, 2008, 10:41pm EDT
divorced ,they try to be nice if i see someone but you can tell its fake
Chelle M. Jul 25, 2008, 11:42pm EDT
His mom doesn't like me..... but his dad and brother do..... his mom is not a nice person, though, so it doesn't really bother me that much......

yes somedays,we all get along somedays we dont,but all in all I love my brother and I will keep the peace if I have to lol
Brittney R. Jul 26, 2008, 12:05am EDT
This happens to be a touchy subject in our household right now. My in-laws have a very strange family dynamic, that as an outsider, I don't quite understand. We've only been married 3 years, though. In time, perhaps?

I really do love them, and we used to get along fabulously, but they are too opinionated, judgemental, intrusive and controlling for my comfort level. Perhaps it is because we are neighbors. If I had only known the problems this would cause...and as soon as I can move, I will. It will make me love them more when I no longer see them walking through my yard and into my front door before I can lock it in time! LOL!
Chelsea R. Jul 26, 2008, 12:16am EDT
yes! i absolutely love them!!
Mary G. Jul 26, 2008, 12:33am EDT
My husbands parents have passed away.
Jessica S. Jul 26, 2008, 12:36am EDT
i get along with my husband's children... well, two of them. i have never met his oldest child. i have never met his ex-wife. his mother lives in new jersey, which is pretty far, but we get along when we see each other. his father is a great guy, and i really like him as well as his stepmother. :)
Cheryl B. Jul 26, 2008, 12:48am EDT
I've never met them. They're not exactly a close-knit family.
Edward W. Jul 26, 2008, 1:14am EDT
N/A; I don't have a significant other.
Patricia J. Jul 26, 2008, 1:20am EDT
I don't have a significant other, but when I did, I liked his mother better than him.
Christine P. Jul 26, 2008, 7:18am EDT
Well, I have currently been married for over 17 years and it has been just in the last 2.5 years that we actually liked each other! Getting to know his family better has been a blessing now.
Otelia S. Jul 26, 2008, 5:07pm EDT
Mos Def.
I had them all at "Hello"
Donna Besso Jul 26, 2008, 5:36pm EDT
I don't have a significant other. My first Mother-In Law is still an inspiration to me. I think of her often, bless her soul. I won't foul up anyones day by discussing the second one.
Deloris Wright Jul 26, 2008, 10:38pm EDT
Yes , My husbond oniy has a son and daughter-in-law. I love and get along with them. They think "I rock". I even get along with his ex-wife. We all spent last Christmas together at our sons house in Huston Tex last year.
Sammie B. Jul 27, 2008, 11:07pm EDT
Yup, I do. Quite well, actually. :D Just spent today with them, in fact.
donna h. Jul 28, 2008, 7:54am EDT
yes, our families have known each other since we are kids
Brian M. Jul 28, 2008, 7:59am EDT
Don't really talk to them.

Thanks for posting at Scores 4 Everyone.
Heather W. Jul 28, 2008, 12:16pm EDT
My husband's family is awesome
Laura C. Jul 29, 2008, 2:33am EDT
I don't have one...when I was married his mom and I were civil, but we didn't like each other..she was Atillia the mother-in-law! the guy I sorta see hasn't introduced me to his family yet, but I do get along ok with is ex-wife.
Vic Needs Coffee Jul 30, 2008, 11:14am EDT
One good thing about being single, don't have to worry about in-laws...lol.
Janie E. Oct 9, 2008, 11:25pm EDT
Most of my hubby's family is dead, but I did get along with most of them. I don't get along with my sister in law because she's jealous of me and my family!!!!
