Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?
My parents and DH's parents have a very nice relationship, and we all go to dinner together a few times a year, but that's it. My mom and his mom call to say hello every now and then/see what's new, but since the wedding, not as much. Everyone likes everyone--no issue there. Just wondering about everyone else! I've said it before, but I can't wait until we have a house (our townhouse isn't big enough to host a group) so WE can host some holidays and make it our parents and immediate family and all be together, instead of house hop.

They go out to dinner often in the nice weather.
They both have weekend homes out east and go out together out there.
They are very friendly 
ETA: I started a new tradition last year with a Christmas Brunch for both families and it worked out great.

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?
Our parents don't even have each other's phone numbers. They only speak to each other when they're all together, which is hardly ever.

that's nice! i have a feeling that when/if we have a baby they will do more together. sometimes i feel like everyone gets so busy, and "we should all do dinner!" gets put off.

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?
 No.
They saw each other 2 times after the wedding -when we moved & 2 years later when we moved again!
Oh no wait, there was a 3rd time when my parents picked us up from the airport after our HM & dropped us off at the ILs' house to get our car.

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?
My mother and MIL see each other occasionally.
And my MIL invited my mother to her time share vacation in England/Ireland next year with us...
I'm glad they get along, but I"m a little afraid of being on vacation with my mother, MIL, me and DH...should be interesting!!

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?
Nope - the only time they interacted was a tthe first meeting after we got engaged, my shower, the RD and the wedding.
Oh, and when I graduated with my Masters - they came to a small house party my parents threw for me

My fam will invite MIL to a lot because they feel badly for her.
Sometimes without asking me first.

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?
We'll all get together for dinner like three times a year but they don't really talk on the phone and they'd never hang out without DH and I present.

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?
we celebrate most holidays together
our moms have been to Mohegan/foxwoods together-overnight too
have had dinners together with/without us
if there wasn't a language barrier I think they would do even more things

That's great!
My parents and his parents only have us in common so I think that's the reason why they wouldn't. No bad blood, just nothing to say.

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?
My Mom and MIL speak on the phone occasionally. My FIL and my Mom got into an argument so they don't talk. But they live in different states so it doesn't really matter. My Dad never talks to them unless he sees them. My stepmother does talk to my SIL sometimes since they have similar aged children

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?
Not a whole lot...but that is part of "us" that is ok with it.
My parents are younger then DH's and there isnt much in common so it tends to be boring and awkward.
Its ok...it just keeps the peace and they get to see each other at family functions.

no, i gotcha. i added this up there, but my dad spent tons of time with my FIL while fixing up our place, so those 2 can carry on a conversation well. Usually teasing me and DH.

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?
My parents and in-laws only see each other at family events - the wedding, my baby shower, when I had Connor, and the christening.
Other than that, no they are not friends.

My friend's parents & Ils hang out all the time-- they are even going to Mexico together--without their kids.
That's a little weird to me, but at least they are having fun.
Mine would never do that. Even lunch with DH & I was weird.
ETA- other than being the same age, my mother & MIL have nothing in common.
Dad & FIL are alittle better b/c my father can talk to anybody!

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?
Nope
My parents haven't sceen my MIL since my wedding which was over a year ago. My MIL also lives in N.J. and we have a tiny apartment so we have never hosted any holidays. I'm sure once the grandkids come along things will change, if not no biggie.

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?
No, mine don't. They really don't have much in common and DH's parents are 10 years older then my parents. They get along just fine when we are all out together, but they don't talk on the phone or hang out, just at family parties.

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?
Our parents get along very well. My parents live in Florida so they do not get together often, but actually.... last week Dh's parents went to Florida and visited my parents, they even stayed with them :) I have always wanted a very close family especially when dh and I have our own children, so I am lucky that we all get along great :)
