In Laws

This is another one of those topics that are often thought about and discussed "behind closed doors", but never out in the open.
As I delve into a issue that is often considered to be taboo, I want all who may see this to not be offended in any way. These are mere thoughts and occurences from many who have been graced with another set of parents!
I will start with how many of us married folk always invisioned the thought of more family to be a non issue, or just an added bonus. This is where the first misconception was, and by that I mean dead wrong. If you thought you had to impress your wife to get her to fall in love, you are right... If you thought that was it, WRONG!!! From the planning of the wedding to years to come, your mother-inlaw is the new target of kissing ass. A happy mother in law is a happy wife.
For the men, you must remember that a mother and daughter have this bond that you will never understand. The thing they call shy does not exist in this bond. If you have any hangups about public humiliation then leave the room when these two start to touch an area that seems like it could be private. For instance, if you have a sex life, this will come up. If she thinks she may be pregnant, there will be detailed discussion on how you did it, what kind of accident, how often you "do it", and as any concerned parent would ask what type of protection do you use. To avoid all these get a stomache ache or all of the sudden think the dog needs to go out.
I have heard stories of people that have lived with inlaws or had inlaws live with them and what I have ascertained is that this is marrital suicide. I have not had this come up and now we just bought a home so I dont have to, AHHHHH...
All you need to remember is that if you thought having one set of parents was a chore, then dont get married. You must do everything you did to impress your parents all over over again in 10 times less time...
Love to all the inlaws out there... Jan and Dick squared included..

My dear ♥ sweet Alan..you never had too impress us we always knew you you were the most kind caring person in the world and everyone always said to know you is too 💓 love you! However you made the biggest mistake of your life by marrying someone who beneath you.she striped you of you. We had talked about things but that family beat you down and down you put up a good front but I always knew this relationship was toxic. We will only remember all the happy times we shared and that was way before the boss ruined your life. We may never understand the truth as to why you are no longer with us but I have a pretty good idea.know you will always be in our hearts and of every life you touched. Forever in or hearts rest easy and justice will be served my 💘
