I like my in laws (married for abt 2 mo. now)!!! Actually I LOVE THEM!! But then I must say that I am a conformer. I even picked up hyderabadi along the way, and now attemt to make hyderabadi biryani. I do conform to their lifestyle a lot when Im with his family. I eat like them, i talk like them I even do that funny salaam where they bend down a little (must say felt wierd at first). But I had LOTS OF FUN. My in laws have shown me lots of love in return! for which I am grateful Alhumdullilah.
I must say though, that before I got married I was aware of the conforming attitude that in laws can have, so I was prepared to conform. My mom says you know that phrase "when in Rome, be like the Romans, Well with your in laws, be like your in laws". I felt that it benefited me tremendously.
On the other hand, yeah ive known some evil MILs that really seem to never want to back down. And I've heard a good share of scary MILs on this forum too!!!
