Your SOs parents

[hxcbreakdance]

I got to thinking about my SO and his parents recently and how much I adore his parents. They are so kind to me and have always made me feel like part of the family. Thinking about that got me wondering:
How do you feel about your SOs parents?
Do you love them or not really care for them?
Do they make you feel like part of the family?
I love mine, they're like my second parents.

How do you feel about your SOs parents?
I adore them! His mum I was most worried about and I wanted her to make sure I knew how much I cared about her son and wasnt going to hurt him like other girls had. I think that made a big difference

His dads really fun to hang out with, he's really smart too so great to have discussions with. Its so funny because my SO has so many quirks that are just like his dad. I saw a picture of his dad at about 18 and he was the absolute spitting image of my SO!

His stepmum is the person I spend the most time with when I visit and he has to work. Shes amazing, like a best friend and second mum all in one when I'm aware from home.

Do you love them or not really care for them?
Love all of them to pieces!

Do they make you feel like part of the family?
Most definitely and I love them even more for it!

How do you feel about your SOs parents?

Well him mom once gave a job interview but never called me back, so that was a little awkward when I saw her in the house... And she gets mad at Brandon and his dad for going out or drinking or wanting to do something fun because she is really conservative and doesn't go out or anything, which is the opposite of my mom who freaken works at a bar for tips XD My mom is a party animal. And they're both the same age, so it's weird. One night she even got all mad and told us we had to bring the van back even though she wasn't going to be using it!! It ruined the whole night. And she got mad that I slept over a couple times, so Brandon started sleeping over at my house because my dad is used to it (I had a boyfriend live at our house for a few months once) His dad seems nice though, he likes RC toys and going out and sneaking a couple drinks every now and then with Brandon. And yelling at seagulls.

Do you love them or not really care for them?

Eh, I mean, I could see myself getting along with them, but they never made a point to meet me or say hi or anything, so I don't know. I want to bake them cookies for Christmas or something to make a good impression though.

Do they make you feel like part of the family?

No, sometimes I feel the opposite, like they don't want me around or they think I'm just another girl who's going to ditch when something better comes along. Maybe they'll change their ways down the road, when they realize that its been months and I'm still here.

Your mom sounds kind of like my mom, she's pretty awesome haha

And as for the SO family thing, I've been there and it sucks. Parents are so lame sometimes and some just don't want to give you a chance it's ridiculous.

How do you feel about your SOs parents?
I feel... not so fondly. His mother is a BITCH. She definitely doesn't care for me much. But whatever. She doesn't care for anything.

Do you love them or not really care for them?
I don't really care for them. His dad isn't horrible, he's just kind of annoying and badgering. His mother on the other hand, she's SO MEAN TO HIM and it makes me so mad. She was in a freak accident when my SO was in pre-school and she's paralyzed from the waist down. So, my SO has to do a lot around the house to help her, which he does without a complaint and a smile on his face. But she will never thank him, and constantly find something else to bitch about. She calls him lazy, stupid, useless, and I get sick of it. I can't stand hearing anyone talk to him like that, he's seriously one of the nicest people I've ever met... :[

Do they make you feel like part of the family?
Not really.

Isn't this lovely?!

How do you feel about your SOs parents? they are sweethearts! I feel bad for his Mom though, my SO teases her relentlessly They like me because it seems I'm the only person who can keep him in line!
Do you love them or not really care for them? I haven't really spent much time with them, but from what I have seen so far, I know I will definitely grow to love them!
Do they make you feel like part of the family? From the very beginning they were friendly and welcoming. I'm now part of the family as far as they are concerned, which is great! They are lovely people, as are his grandparents, I'm so glad I will get along with my future parents-in-law

How do you feel about your SOs parents?

I haven't met them yet, although I'm sure they'll be out to meet the baby next year. We get along very well though, and have gotten to know each other via email and a little tiny bit of web camming.

I definitely got lucky my second try at inlaws. My last ones were MONSTERS. MIL, FIL, and Step MIL. Miserable, horrible, nasty, trashy, deceitful, rude, racist, hateful assholes.

Do they make you feel like part of the family?

Yes. More so than 99% of my own family. The parents plus grandparents, aunts, cousins, all sent wedding cards and welcomed me to the family, they remembered my birthday, it's nice to join a family like this, as opposed to my own, where everyone except my mother is either dead or has disowned me.

How do you feel about your SOs parents?
They are really great people on the whole. His mom is the best. She thinks she's a rock star, is a little crazy, has no tact whatsoever, and tends to put me before her own children. A little weird, but I'm dealing with it. His dad was harder to win over, and he treats everyone like they are less intelligent than he is, which pisses me off. But that aside, he's patient and welcoming.

Do you love them or not really care for them?
I wouldn't say I love them at this rate, but I enjoy their company and want to be part of their family.

Do they make you feel like part of the family?
Most of the time. His mom is great for that and makes me feel at home, always telling me I'm part of the family, she's my mom now etc. His dad isn't as enthusiastic, but he doesn't shun me either so that's more than fine with me.

How do you feel about your SOs parents?
I adore his mom, haven't really talked to or had any communication with his dad... even though they all live together... His dad talks about me I guess (thats what I'm told) and I get compliments via my SO from his dad but come to think about it I don't think I've ever seen his dads face lol
Do you love them or not really care for them?
like I said, I adore his mom... his dad I really dont know
Do they make you feel like part of the family?
As much as they can being as far away as they are... Shes really sweet, she speaks very little english and always tells me how beautiful I am and waves and blows kisses and when I translate her typing to me so I can talk to her she tells me shes so happy that her son found a beautiful american girl that makes him so happy and she cant wait for us to get married (we've only been officially together for about 3 weeks... but we've been talking for months. but decided to make "us" official just recently so its a little strange... cute! and flattering... but strange lol)

How do you feel about your SO's parents?
I love his parents. Of course I always KIND OF get annoyed with how much his mother babies him but overall they are both two wonderful people.

Do you love them or not really care for them?
I love them. I hope to keep them in my life forever. His whole family is truly so special to me.

Do they make you feel like part of the family?
They definitely make me feel like part of the family. Me & my SO have been switching holidays every year. I go to NY for xmas one year and then he comes here the next and so on and so forth. So both of our families already have accepted each of us as a part of the family. Especially being together for almost 7 years.

I couldn't imagine if i hated his family.. I don't think I could stay. Me & Him are VERY family oriented.

How do you feel about your SOs parents?
They're great! It seems like they're the mirror image of my family, and it seems like they're just the best parents someone could ever have.

Do you love them or not really care for them?
I love them! They feel like a part of my own family (and hopefully will be soon )

Do they make you feel like part of the family?
Yes, definitely! Even though I only see them once a year (for New Years), they always make me feel at home, even though I'm far from my own.

How do you feel about your SOs parents?
I really like my SO's parents (alhamdulillah ) They have been so welcoming to me. I went to meet them at their home for the end of Ramadan. I was sooo nervous because I was going ALONE, without my SO. But they were really great and made me feel right at home.

I think they are really good people with great intentions. But I disagree with so many things that they did while raising their children. And I question some of their current decisions as well. I think a lot of that comes from cultural differences. But they have also done many wonderful things for me and him. They really supported me when I was going through a hard time with one of his cousins.

Do you love them or not really care for them?
I truly love them. I got to know them for awhile over the phone, especially his mom. And then meeting the whole family in August just sealed the deal! I also really love his brothers and sister and feel like they are my own.

Do they make you feel like part of the family?
Yes. I don't think I can ever be 100% in just like every other family member, because they all speak at the speed of light in Bambara and I get lost. But I do feel like I am a part of their family. I felt immediately comfortable with them. But we have talked about keeping a bit of distance from them when we move to the States and choose where to live. They are great but African families are pretty damn NOSY and gossipy and we want a little more privacy than that so we are going to try not to live in the same neighborhood/town.

How do you feel about your SOs parents?

There are few people in this world I wish to slap without having ever met them. His mother is one of them.

Do you love them or not really care for them?

I don't like his mother (his dad's not in the picture). She chooses her boytoys over her son.

Do they make you feel like part of the family?

Never met her and the first thing that will's my fist. Sorry, I really don't like this woman.
