Re: Do you feel like you just don't fit in with your In-Laws?
I get along with them very well, especially SIL. Although MIL and FIL and I have a bit of language barrier at times, we get along well. I actually spent a week with my IL's without DH and I was a little worried- but it was really nice! My MIL and I have A LOT in common- we also have very similar personalities.

Re: Do you feel like you just don't fit in with your In-Laws?
DH's dad has Alzheimer's and was never a very warm person before I am told. His mother is conniving and a true martyr-type.
I get along soooo much better with my ex-mother-in-law, sho is in Spain. Despite the language barriers (in the begining) and cultural differences and what her son put me through, she is one of the women who I think I will love forever... Wish I could have DH with the ex-MIL.....
And my mom, who speaks NO Spanish, also got along with her great!! They are both wonderful women and I feel lucky, so I can't complain about the MIL I have now.

Re: Do you feel like you just don't fit in with your In-Laws?
I can fit in....but they are very different from me...so there are some areas that I disagree with them...but I think thats because I grew up very different from them.

Re: Do you feel like you just don't fit in with your In-Laws?
I think I am more comfortable with DH's family than my own.
I couldn't have asked for better in laws, extended family included. They're all pretty awesome and fun to be around.

I just don't feel like I fit in, different culture, sense of humor, personalities than you are used too?
I am not even sure they like me. It's not like they do anything bad towards me, but when I see how they are with others non-relatives, I just don't feel as "warmly recieved". Does this make sense?
do you fit in with them?
I understand where you are coming from my FH Step mother and Father I get along great with they make me feel at home and call me and make me feel like I am part of the family.
Now my FH Mother and Step father are a different story. They haven't really done anything to me but they constantly call the other daughter in laws and check in with them and how the children are but with me she never calls to chat with me she will call and if I answer the phone she is like hi Jenn how are you is my son there and then she will talk to him and ask him how our daughter is doing. When she does talk to me I feel like she talks down to me she never gives the other daughter in laws advice or says anything about how they do things with there kids but always has comments or says things about me and what I do with my daughter. She seems to talk to me like I am a little kid meanwhile I am older then the other daughter in laws.
Honestly she is like the mother on everbody loves raymond
Two of his sisters think there sh*t don't stink and that they know everything meanwhile one doesn't have kids and tried to tell me things about my daughter and the other one thinks she is the best mom in the world when she cant even control her child

Even before there was open hostility, I always felt like I didn't fit in. They do things SO differently than my family does. They have a completely different outlook on life, completely different values.

In a word... No.
But DH and certain members of my family don't get along either.

I don't fit in, but in my mind, that's not a bad thing.

Re: Do you feel like you just don't fit in with your In-Laws?
Most of my in-laws live out of state. They have a tendency to be conservative and I am more liberal.
They rely on each other A LOT and have few outside friends and although I love my family - we don't speak 6 times a day.
I think itis fair to say we have some BIG differences but for the most part it doesn't bother me too much...

Re: Do you feel like you just don't fit in with your In-Laws?
I get along fine with my ILS especially my MIL she is a doll. I get along with DH's siblings and SIL's but sometimes they get on your nerves, with the exception of DH's sister. She and her husband are great people.
The only thing I don't like is the constant criticism that his brothers make about Queens. It's like enough is enough. I shut them up once when I said to both of them "umm weren't you both born in Brooklyn and raised in queens, and don't you both have jobs in queens".....later on my MIL goes to me "good for you"...
That's the one problem with DH's family noone will say anything to anyone. Not me I will not sit there and keep my mouth shut if anyone makes any comment to me...

Re: Do you feel like you just don't fit in with your In-Laws?
There are some fundamental differences between the way I was raised versus my husband. However, I appreciate the differences and have embraced his family. They are wonderful, family-oriented, classy people that I have grown to love and respect. I've been with guys where I had zero respect for their family. My BILS and SILS are amazing and I adore my FIL.

Re: Do you feel like you just don't fit in with your In-Laws?
I fit in with them pretty well, especially my MIL- we're both gossips!  My FIL and I get along fine, but he's just not a very warm person and my parents are extremely warm and go out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable.

Re: Do you feel like you just don't fit in with your In-Laws?
No I don't fit in, and it doesn't bother me. Most of the time she acts like a child when she doesn't get her way. I tried to get along with her but we don't have anything in common. I know she complains about me to everyone she knows, my DH doesn't tell me but i know she does. At first it bothered me but now i could care less, i have learned not to let her stress me out.

Re: Do you feel like you just don't fit in with your In-Laws?
I just got married in July and no I did not feel like we were alike. However, my father tragically passed last sunday and my in-laws have done just about everything for us all week along with so many other people. I think whether you "think" you do get along or dont, try to understand all personalities because when the end is near you will realize how similar you all are.
