Even if you have a great relationship with your in-laws, you should never willingly agree to a situation in which you owe them something. Owing anyone anything is a terrible situation to be in, so doing it with a family member historically known for making your life difficult is a foolish decision, and the story …

When one begins dating for marriage, loving in-laws become an essential part of any relationship. You want your parents to adore your partner like their very own sons or daughters.

Brother-in-law insists that husband moves out of his wife’s family home that he owns so her aging mother can live there: ‘They don’t care if my wife stays or moves with me, they just want ME gone’
It’s wild how entitled some family members can be to your home and your space. I know many people advocate for intergenerational families living together, but that is not always enjoyable for the person named on the mortgage. If you’re the stable person in the family and everyone around you is mooching off your kindness, …

51-year-old boyfriend breaks up with his girlfriend after she offered to host her daughter-in-law’s 87-year-old father in her home for 3 weeks: ‘How does it look that you have another man staying at your house while you are dating me?’
We all assume that people mature as they age, but that isn’t always the case. We’ve all met 50 and 60-year-olds who behave as if they’re still in junior high and don’t mature beyond that when they reach their 70s and 80s. Getting older helps many people let go of hang-ups they had in their …

28-year-old wife faces backlash for clapping back when mother-in-law accuses younger women of being lazy: ‘My husband told me that I made him look less masculine’
When it comes to families, bridging the gap between the generations is not always an easy task. More often than not, older relatives have a different view on life, the world, and everybody’s role in it than the younger ones do, and that can easily cause tension between them. This is often doubly true when …

In-laws watch TV from 7 AM to 10 PM every day while visiting their son, refuse to acknowledge his wife when the TV is on: ‘I am so confused as to how they think sitting in front of the TV in silence constitutes quality time’
I’m on the fence about whether watching TV with someone is valuable bonding time. You can do it one of two ways: either you talk through the entire show, or you have sufficient time after the show to talk about it and anything else going on with your life. I love going to the movies …

New mom faces backlash after not opening the door to her in-laws: ‘They saw me look at them and turn back around’
A baby being born is a time when emotions run high for many people in the family. Of course, it is the parents and in particular the mom who experience this the most, but other relatives can also get caught up in such a momentous moment, for better or for worse. What’s more is that …

‘I’ve always felt like an outsider’: Woman refuses to spend $4000 on father-in-law’s 60th birthday trip since they always ignore her, husband is torn over her decision
Using your vacation days on something you don’t want to go to is definitely not how you want to live your life. At least it’s not how most of us want to spend our lives. We probably want to be choosy about who gets our time and who gets our money, seeing as there’s not …

Dad confronts his 26-year-old daughter’s boyfriend of 10 years because he hasn’t proposed yet, accuses him of playing house: ‘What’s the plan here? You guys aren’t kids anymore.’
We all know that one couple who has been waiting a long time to get married. One of my best friends has been with her boyfriend since 2018, and he has not popped the question yet. People are constantly asking them, «When are they going to get engaged?» which is a reasonable question to ask, …

Parents refuse to name their baby ‘Henry’ after his paternal grandfather, grandmother berates them for not following family tradition of naming male heirs ‘James’ or ‘Henry’: ‘She said I was breaking a tradition that went back hundreds of years’
I’ve never understood naming the men in your family the same thing, generation after generation. It’s confusing, and IMHO, it dilutes the significance of the name. If everyone is John, then the original John is just one of many. I like passing down family names through middle names. My mom’s middle name is «Wainwright,» after …
