Thats very nice of mistral to start such a nice thread! Personally I think we all shud be little more mature to discuss horrible stories about inlaws. We r now in 21st century and we shud be discussing real issues world wide. And we shud try to help those out who really needs help like people who have lost their lives and homes. Well I think its all depend how an individual response to certain situations or how u take meaning of something toward u. In a recent survey it says people who have degrees or are more educated less likely get into relationship problem such as inlaws. Once u learn how to forgive or to communicate directly to settle ur life then u wont see such problems.
Back to question i am getting married soon and my in laws are very nice and educated. I have bound a relationship with my inlwas with respect and love, i have understanding with every person from my side.I m hoping to not to see these problems in my future. But also i have less expectation so when they will do little less than my expectation or little more i will be fine in both way. I think once u show love and respect eventuaally u regain it back. Hope to read some positive replies here about in laws.
Women/Girls who have supporting husbands would not get into the depth of the problems with in laws. But if the husband is further away than the supportive kind, they dont have a choice. They have to fight for their rights and have to face all the crappy situations and have no choice but to get involved in these silly issues!
