We talked about how we felt about our MIL/FMIL, so how about the other way around.

Does your FH/DH get along with your mom and/or your family?

My family ADORES Eric and he is feels the same way, if he doesn't I completely understand (some of my family can be a bit hard to take)!

DH's dad hated me in the beginning. He is on his second marriage and I remind him too much of his ex. The rest of the family loves me.
My family loves my DH because he is willing to do anything for me.

My family likes FH a lot. They treat him just like any other member of the family, which is awesome! And he feels welcome, which to me, is incredibly important!

I think my family likes Brian more than me. If we are invited to do something with one of them and Brian cant go, they almost act like they would rather I would stay home if he cant come...........:bbconfused:

My family likes Joel and I'm sure Joel likes them to a point...but they are very difficult and full of drama and Joel and my family are complete opposites. There hasn't been any drama or anything, there just not "best-friends"!!! But they don't have to be, becuase they are about to be family!!! LOL!!!

Justin likes my family and they get along. He did not like my brother for awhile for some reasons, but they have overcome that and actually hang out some. My brother is even going to be an usher at the wedding.

My family loves FH, my mom adores him and I think if she could she would steal him away! ;-)

For the most part. There are a few relatives that he just doesn't get along with but they have learned to live with each other.

As for my parents, they love him!

If you guys don't mind, I'm going to answer this for Jason & Amber. :smile: Jason is really a great guy, and he loves Amber very much. How could I not love him for that? :bbquestion: I know how wonderful Amber is, and evidently he does too, because he's marrying her.:wub: Whenever I need something done at my house, Jason does not hesitate to help me. I love him because he's good to me, but more importantly he's good to my daughter. And I thank him for that. :hug:

My parents accepted my first husband after some time, but they were none to thrilled when we announced our engagement. My mother tells me now that she "gave us only 5 years".

My Dad has passed now but my Mom wants to order an older version of Hugh! She loves him.

Mark does get along with my parents. He has said to me a couple times that he doesen't like some of the things they do. Sometimes he feels like they get a little to involved or they say weird things to eachother. Like my mom's way of telling my dad she'd like a drink. We've never disagreed on the weird things my parents do. I didn't think they were too weird when i lived there. But once having my own relationship and seeing more couples interact it is a little bizzar some days.
Anyways.... They get along well. My dad and Mark go down to the basement to play in the wood shop or computer geek land! lol its sometimes scarey how much they are alike. :bblol:

Matt loves my parents. My brother and his wife are a different story. We feel that my brother and his wife don't much care for us because we are young and drive nice vehicles and have a good life. they have said some really hurtful things to me and Matt doesn't appreciate that. They also stirred the pot two months before the wedding and sent me into a melt down. The rest of my mom's fam (her sisters and their fams) are very high on a list of people we don't like. They have some big problems and we don't appreciate their attitudes much! As far as my dad's fam, Matt has never met any of my dad's siblings but has met my Grandparents and loves them.

Hell yeah! He loves my family, and my family loves him. Him and my brother went out the one day for lunch together (without me), hes gone over to my parents house (when we were still in high school) when I wasn't there just to watch a movie with them....its really strange, but I'm glad that they get along so well.

I know that both of my parents like Sean. Sean helped when I was in school and makes sure that I have everything that I want. He is always there when I need him. My parents appreciate that. They treat Sean like they are supposed to. I know that Sean adores my dad. He likes my mom but I know that he thinks some of the things she does are sort of immature. I agree with him on that. He also thinks she is a little too clingy and needs to make friends aside from me. Again I agree with him. But if she needs something he is the first one there because she is my mom.

As for the extended family, on my side we aren't around them too much. I never really grew up to be close to my dad's family. So we don't see them. But, when we do Sean likes them and they treat him well. As for my mother's family, they always treated Sean like he was "rich city folk", which couldn't be further from the truth. If Sean had half the money and attitude that they think he does, I would be writing to you all from my own private island in the South Pacific where I would be raising an army for world domination. They all have this idea that Sean thnks he is better than they are, again couldn't be further from the truth. Sean treated them better and with more patience than I ever have in dealing with their bs. Of course since they didn't show up at our wedding, we don't have to worry about that anymore since we won't speak to them again.

My family accepted him right away. He took a little getting used to them, but he loves them.

My FH and my family get along really well, he especially gets along with my little brother. Its not as good as the relationship between me and his family.

J gets along w my famliy. There is alot of drama that surrounds my family, and for some reason, it usually blows up at me. He doesn't like that, but he still shows muy fam respect, and is always nice to them. He doesn't get involved in the drama. He figures that it's best to just stay out of it. Prob a good idea.

My family loves my husband! Which is a good thing since they got to meet him only a week before we got married. My parents serves as our witnesses when we got married at the courthouse 6 days later.

My grandparents and my aunt can not stand my bf. My other aunt, my mother, my uncles, all of them love him! My mother already calls him her "son-in-law" lol. I do not enjoy my bf's father. I'm civil to him, I can handle being in the room with him for about 10 minutes, 15minutes max, and by the end of the 15 minutes I'm ready to choke him. That can't be good right?
