Deuce 1 #51 January 31, 2003 Whoo-shah! Bingo! Can you live with that burden forever, or will the day come where you say "Choose, dammit! Them or me" Relationships get dragged over broken glass no matter what. The burden of inlaws heckling may make it unbearable. The time will come, eventually, when she will say "My parents are right about you!" Can you take that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mouth 0 #53 January 31, 2003 Don't expect THEM to change if you are unwilling to meet them halfway. Like I said earlier. Show them you can take care of her. In reality that is all they want if to rest easy that if something happens to them you can and will take care of her. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

miked10270 0 #54 January 31, 2003 Hi Luis, When me & Iona first got together there was some resistance from her family - what with us going from her leaving her husband to us seeing each other to Iona moving in with me to Iona falling pregnant. All over a period of 4 months start to finish!!! Did I mention that Iona's father is a minister in a somewhat strict church? He makes Landover Baptist seem tame. Anyway, I got the whole "Evil Influence", "Living in sin" Unfit to inhabit God's Earth" thing from him and his family.... Strangely we're still not married, but 7 years down the line we get on OK now. Whenever we were talking I made a point of keeping it formal and firm. I also pointed out to him that as far as his opinion of me was concerned, he was confusing me with somebody who "cared" (I said "cared" to his face & "gives a feck" behind his back). Iona's opinion was all that mattered to me, and it was up to him how well we got along in public. So... (Him) "You're not fit to be with my daughter". (Me) "Fortunately your daughter thinks different" (H) "You're living in sin". (M) "Actually it's pronounced Leven(home town)". (H) "You're going to go to Hell". (M) "So, best to dress for a warm climate". (H) "You're a failure in life". (M) "I'm living MY life, and WE'RE enjoying it". (H) "You're not fit to be a police officer"> (M) "So put your comments in writing to my Chief Constable". (H) "I'll never accept you into this family". (M) "You've got me mixed up with somebody who cares about your opinion" Be polite, but make it plain to him that "Good" in laws gain a son, "Bad" in laws lose a daughter. You could also point out to them that it's YOU who'll choose their old folks home. Good luck, Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
