Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?

Not at all. For a couple years we hosted both families Christmas Eve...Well, DH's mom made a comment of how we should have kids soon, and my mom replied that there was a better chance of DH's brother having a baby...well, turned out my mom was the only one that didn't know that DH's brother's ex girlfriend WAS pregnant with his baby! Chat Icon Chat Icon Such an uncomfortable/funny moment...

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?

Mainly the big things are that my inlaws go to my parents' house for the 4th of July with all of my family, and my parents to go my inlaws' house in August for their yearly bbq to celebrate my FIL and DH's birthdays. That is with all of DH's family. so it is really nice. Occasionally my parents will meet us (DH and I live in MD, my ILs in NY) in NY and we will do something for a weekend. But that doens't happen often

This summer I want both sets of parents to visit us in MD, so we can do DC sightseeing.

My parents and my in-laws get along very well and they do go out at times. I am so grateful for the harmony and peace between the two family.

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.




i think mine would; they love my dad....our dads spent tons of time together working on our place!




Aww.. thats so sweet!Chat Icon

Ours dont. They both have completely different personalities- like night & day.

They are completely different types of people ... they don't interact at all.

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?

My IL's invite my parent's over for dinner when my parent's travel down for a visit, but that's about it - they rarely talk outside of that.

No, they don't get together.

My parents live here and my Inlaws live in Florida. They met when we got engaged, at my bridal shower, and then the wedding.

Even if the Inlaws lived here, I don't think they'd see eachother often.

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?

Well, I've known DH since I was 15, so our parents have known each other forever. Leading up to the wedding and post wedding, they've gotten very close with eachother, even taking a trip to Chicago together without us to visit my aunt. And now my parents are included in the yearly vacation my DH's family take.

I'm happy that they get along so well and we all hang out. DH and I joke about it though a lot, "worlds colliding" and "they're spending too much time together, this is wierd."

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?

nope not at all. they only live about 10 mins away from each other and they never do anything together. my mom invites them to all of our family functions and vice versa and everyone always attends each others get togethers, but aside from that they dont hang out. there's an age difference and a language barrier. i kinda like it this way...Chat Icon

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.



in the 12 + years we've been together, they've seen each other maybe 4 times...and two of them were for the wedding.

They don't do things together often because my parents live in Texas but when my parents are around, our parents do spend some time together.

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?

No because A. Communication is a problem. My parents do not speak English well. They can communicate with FIL cuz he can speak Italian. But DH's parents are divorced. His parents get along though. But mine and his don't because like I said my parents don't speak english well.

and B. The distance. They don't live near each other. The only one who drives is FIL but he usually does his own thing. They all get along though.

Re: Do your parents and your laws do a lot of things together?

My MIL is alone, I invite her to all my family functions that don't conflict with MEAN SIL (xmas eve, easter, birthdays, dinners, bbq's) she comes to some...
she loves my Dad...and she seems to get me more now that she hangs out with my family.

My dad has met my FIL 2x, he lives in FL. Once when his fugly wife tried to convince FIL that my Dad snubbed him at my wedding--never happened

Second time he went to DH's uncle's for a sort of truce a year later...
