- - Annoying inlaws ? (https://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31521)

Thankfully my fiances family is close to eleven hours away...My family lives around me but they aren't so bad, they usually don't stop by unless they call.

Well, I'm not married but my sorta inlaws aren't that bad. I love my boyfriends Mom and sister. They're really out there and fun, my kinda people. His Dad is a nice guy but I don't think he'll ever like me that much. Sees me as a distraction. His Dad's girlfriend is nice enough too.

The only thing that remotely bothers me is how his Mom will intentionally give us very little alone time because she's suspicious.

So, I've been living with the boyfriend for over 3 months now, and for the most part everything has been going fine... except for his fucking family.

We inconveniently live 15-20 mintues away from them by car. And since we've been here, it's been like living with the Gestapo: constant surprise visits, without even calling or asking if it's alright to come. Once we decided not to buzz them in and pretend as if we weren't here... his father pounded on our door for 10 minutes like a maniac after buzzing someone else to let him into the building! His brother is constantly dropping by.. once while it was "business time" (;) ), etc...

I know it's like an unspoken rule that inlaws are supposed to get on your nerves, especially the mother in law, but I was so unprepared for this! Anyone else have problems with their inlaws ? Any horror stories of your own ?

you see in moments like this I ask myself WWJD? thats right what would jason do? well Ill tell you what, you should kill your in laws and throw in a near by lake. and when your boyfriend finds out act all surprised like "oh my god I cant belive it." ;)

seriously just be honest with em say "hey I relize that your his parents, but we are adults and we want our privacy. thats why we got our own place and you should respect that." thats what Id do. hope it helps some

Not quite AS radical as the first suggestion ( :D )...But, I would say move...

My first in-laws lived 17 hours away...

My current in-laws live 6 hours away...

I've never had any problem with ANY of them ;)

i have a unique situation:
My mother in law lives near seattle, the other side of the continent. We love her.

My family lives 20 minutes away, and we havent spoken to them in over a year. I just told them to stop calling and emailing us, basically because they lived 20 minutes away and wouldnt get off their asses and visit. (we had a baby and they couldnt be bothered to travel 20 minutes in the opposite direction of where all the shopping is....)

Well, that and they told me my daughter wasnt important enough to justify the drive, and never would be as special as my niece.

So yeah, in laws can sometimes be better than your own family.

No shit. I told them their attitude was unacceptable, and that they could stop all communication with me and my family, no emails, no calls, no letters. It was a very polite "Fuck off".

I think you should have dropped the politeness and just told them to "Fuck off",what a horrible thing to say about a Grandchild.

We are planning to move as soon as we have enough money saved up, so I keep telling myself it's only for a little bit. I'm not saying that his family are bad people, they're actually really nice, they just have no boundaries. Privacy doesn't seem to be valued at all with them, and I have always been a very private person.

And I know what you mean Vod... I have family that's really no better, believe me. Shitty fucking thing to say, but I'm sure you guys are better off without them.
