Mother-in-laws??

Oh don't even get me started on my MIL. She's very manipulative and really only cares that her husband, FIL, is happy. We all went through a time where FIL started back drinking and what fun that was. Anyway he said some really nasty things to my husband and I so my hubby finally stopped talking to him and all she cared about was that he called his father. Let's not worry about the fact that when he did he got cussed out, just as long as FIL got to talk to him it was ok. Not to mention she never called hubby either even though he and I both told her that he would love to hear from her(it is his mother after all), and the few times she called were just to tell him to call his father.

FIL as you can imagine isn't any better either, he has quit drinking though. But really that only means that now we have to talk to them again. They can be really nice and caring but then just all of a sudden, especially if they aren't getting their way, they turn and are rude and thoughtless. Thank goodness we don't have kids yet, I can only imagine the problems that's going to bring.

I love the rest of his family. His brothers and their families are great. I don't have anyone living close to me on my side so it is nice to have family right up the road and be able to get together for cookouts and such.
