Do you tell your parents EVERYTHING about your inlaws?

My parents only have very limited information on my inlaws. If DH wants to tell them about them, then he can, but I feel it isn't my place. I hate that DH comes from these people, and I hate even more that they are going to be related to my kids. My parents have no idea of the specifics and things that ILs have done.

Sometimes I am tempted to tell my mother, only because she thinks I am too hard on my MIL. But even though they are my ILS, I feel like it is DH's business.

I think it is sad that my kids will have 2 totally seperate families. My 4 grandparents all knew each other. DH and I have been together for 11 years, and none of my family has ever met my FIL.

My parents only know the most basic things- how many brothers he has, where they are from, what area they live in, stuff like that. I agree with you, if FH wants to tell them anything else, its up to him.

I can sympathize with you...I too, have issues with my in-laws. I would not dare tell my parents everything (although I have mentioned some of it) because I fear that they would think less of my DH.

Re: Do you tell your parents EVERYTHING about your inlaws?

Seriously Janice, our lives are so similar it's scary. Our families are so different, my mom and his parents just met like two years ago.
They always try to meet but it has to be on their terms.Chat Icon
It's a pita especially for Alia but we gave up trying to make them meet and somewhat have a normal relationship. I don't tell anything to my mom, some things are better left unsaid. They are great people and I love them but our families are just too different and unfortunately both have many stereotypes about each other.

Yes. I tell my parents EVERYTHIGN. If I didn't then JT would have to hear about everything, and since it's his parents, it's not fair of me to vent everything to him.

I don't tell them everything, mostly general stuff. MIL was hospitalized last year and my mom sent a get well card. If my mom knew all the fighting among siblings and with their dad she'd Chat Icon

I know DH would be mad/embarrassed if I told my mom EVERYTHING, so I don't.

Re: Do you tell your parents EVERYTHING about your inlaws?

I do, but they are also close with each other so my Mom knows it in a way already....

ETA: it gives me a place to vent about them if I need to, b/c I don't want to say anything to my DH that may hurt or upset him about his family

Re: Do you tell your parents EVERYTHING about your inlaws?

I tell my parents stuff about my ILs but it's just basically all the crazy stuff they do, well, more so what my MIL does. She's a good hearted person and she means well, but she has a few screws loose. The good thing is that my DH agrees that his own mother is a little cuckoo.
