        I've been married for 11 years now and have two wonderful kids. I unfortunately have a marriage where my mother-in-law despises me and tries on a regular basis to make my life a living hell. It has put a real strain on my marriage since the very beginning. The old adage that when you marry someone, you are also marrying the family and everyone in it is very, very true. Sad thing is, you have no control over how the other family members are going to accept you or act toward you. Just venting...

        I'd gladly swap.. my mother in law is a control freak! least if she hated me I wouldn't have to be at her parties, christmas grease feast dinners etc

        As barmey as a sack of badgers Dude, if I knew what I was doing in life, I'd be rich, retired, dating a supermodel and laughing at the rest of you from the sidelines.

          I don't care how bad your think your mother in law is, you are in the bush league. My mother in law and father in law were behind on their mortgage and facing losing their house. They convinced their daughter (now my wife) to put up HER house as collteral and add HER name to their mortgage, in order to stave off the bank. They refinanced and rented out rooms and promised to cover their mortgage. You'd think that having their daughter on the hook for their debts would have focused the mind a bit. Of course not. They not only stopped paying the mortgage, but they refused to sell their house that they clearly couldn't afford. They now haven't made a mortgage payment for 2 years, my Wife's credit rating is in the toilet, and to top it all her parents are now claiming that her house, which she put up as collateral to help them is actually THEIR HOUSE. This baby is heading for court. Q. What's my Mother In Law doing now? A. Packing for her three week holiday to Malaysia. So, how bad is your mother-in-law? Really? -Rd

          You know how you head this kind of crap off? Buy a gun and develop your "crazy, wild-eyed freak-out glare". Nobody will ask you for anything. Works for me...

                      ... both of my parents have always gotten along very well with their inlaws. The main tension's always been that my dad and his dad have been at best on borderline non-speaking terms for the last 40 years. This seems to be something of a tradition in dad's family. Grandpa Neely mostly severed ties with his family after they married (I don't know why); and having learned nothing from his youthful folly dad's using our political differences to put lots of strain on my relationship with him.

                        Yes, it is. Unfortunately my parents obviously decided to sever all ties with me 8 years ago (them moving house without telling me where they were going was a bit of a giveaway), so it's solely down to them. I try not to lose any sleep over it, but emotions being what they are it isn't that simple.
