Do you like your in laws/future in laws? Love them. I have a great time when we go to visit. They're wonderful people. 

Have they ever come to visit you? Yep, a few times.

When you get married/when you got married did you gain any nieces and nephews? Nope.

Have your FILS helped with the wedding at all? They've offered a lot of help, which I'm sure when we get closer, I will be using. Like I said, they're really wonderful people. I think I'm totally blessed.

Do you like your in laws/future in laws? LOVE them. They're both great, and they've always made me feel so included, which has been especially nice being so far away from my family.

Have they ever come to visit you? We live 30 min from them and have lunch there almost every Sunday (and in Chile, Sunday lunch means we're there 2-9pm). And yes, they've come to our place too

When you get married/when you got married did you gain any nieces and nephews? No.

Have your FILS helped with the wedding at all? They did the RD. FMIL had said she wanted to help with stuff, so I suggested the RD, and it was great.

Do you like your in laws/future in laws? Yes, I love them. MIL is coming for 6 days tonight. FIL used to get on my nerves, but I have since learned how to deal with him and now that I'm a stronger person, he's no problem. Plus, I can tell that he really likes me.
Have they ever come to visit you? After today, all of my inlaws will have come to visit me. I say all because my inlaws are divorced and both have new partners.
When you get married/when you got married did you gain any nieces and nephews? Yes, I gained 3. 1 niece and 2 nephews.
Have your FILS helped with the wedding at all? They paid for 1/3 of the wedding. It was very generous of them.

Do you like your in laws/future in laws? I like almost all of DH's family.

Have they ever come to visit you? No.  We just moved and one parent kept insisting on visiting aound the time that is absolutely worst for DH's schedule.  After saying 30 times that we could not do those dates the parent finally retracted the "offer."  We're hoping to visit step-SIL once we have a solid schedule.

When you get married/when you got married did you gain any nieces and nephews? A step-niece who is an amazing little girl.

Have your FILS helped with the wedding at all?  Two supported that we should make our decisions, one of those two planned/hosted the RD, and the third was not happy with our decisions (but was not hosting) and has never said anything non-negative to us about the wedding but that was not unexpected.  Edit: Actually, the third did gift us a short HM since we weren't going to have one.  Forgot about that one since it was post-wedding.

Do you like your in laws/future in laws?MIL, yes. 1 SIL, not so much. FIL died 21 years ago, but I've heard so many time how H looks JUST like him, so I feel like I know him in a way.

Have they ever come to visit you?Nope. We have no room so to speak of. They will come to town (about 1-1:15 drive) and we will have lunch, but no overnight visits and probably not until we have kids.

When you get married/when you got married did you gain any nieces and nephews?I gained a 3 month old niece and he gained a 2 year old niece.

Have your FILS helped with the wedding at all?SIL (that I don't really care for, ironically) helped a lot. Many things she did without asking for input first, which sort of pissed me off, but it was nice to not have to do them. MIL threw the RD.

Do you like your in laws/future in laws?

I love my in-laws.  I practically grew up with them too since DH and I started dating when I was 16.

Have they ever come to visit you?

Usually once a year.  This last time they drove Route 66 from Chicago to LA and ended up being here on our 1st anniversary.  They took us out for a nice dinner the night before and let DH and I have our alone time on our anniversary.

When you get married/when you got married did you gain any nieces and nephews?

I didn't but he did.  He's been the "uncle" to my nephew since day one of my nephews life.

Have your FILS helped with the wedding at all?

They hosted the rehearsal dinner, and paid for our hotel for the night of the wedding.  They also gave us their timeshare in Hawaii for our honeymoon and paid for our plane tickets as our wedding present!  All of this was completely unexpected!  We were so grateful for all they did for us.

Do you like your in laws/future in laws? Some of them...FI's youngest sister and I get along pretty well, and his one cousin is a year younger than my daughter, and they are inseparable...FMIL and his other sister and I have a shaky relationship, though...his dad LOVES me, though...
Have they ever come to visit you? FMIL lives literally 3 blocks away...and FSILs kidnap my son all the time lol
When you get married/when you got married did you gain any nieces and nephews? Nope...my FI was the first of his siblings to have kids (our son) and I don't see either of his sisters marrying/having kids any time soon...I was also first to have a kid of my siblings (my brother is 25 and my sister is 17, so I'm glad for that! lol)
Have your FILS helped with the wedding at all? the younger sister is my Maid of Honor, although we haven't done anything yet. The other sister is supposed to be a BM as well, but I don't know if she'll go through with it since she has such an issue with me and wants FI to leave me

Do you like your in laws/future in laws? Yep, I do!

Have they ever come to visit you? Not often.  They come down here occasionally (from about 2 hours away), but usually to FI's grandma's house, and we meet them there.  They've only been to our apartment once, I think. 

When you get married/when you got married did you gain any nieces and nephews? Yes--3 nephews and a niece!

Have your FILS helped with the wedding at all? FSIL will be a BM and I'm sure she'll do a whole lot to help out the day of, but aside from that, no.

Do you like your in laws/future in laws? Most of the time

Have they ever come to visit you? We only live about 10 miles away so we see each other frequently.

When you get married/when you got married did you gain any nieces and nephews? Yes--two nephews.  H's half-brother has a 6 year old boy, H's sister had a boy last September, and I've just considered him my nephew since then.

Have your FILS helped with the wedding at all? Yes, they were all a big help.  MIL and FIL paid for the rehearsal dinner, the alcohol at the reception, and our DJ.  MIL helped decorate for the reception.  SIL was a BM.

Do you like your in laws/future in laws?  His dad and stepmom are pretty cool.  His mother is batty, he can't stand her.  She's either senile or just not very smart.

Have they ever come to visit you?  Not at our apartment.  We go over to his dad's place a lot.  I've met his mom a couple of times at family gatherings at his uncle's place.

When you get married/when you got married did you gain any nieces and nephews?  A couple of nieces.  One of them is my age!

Have your FILS helped with the wedding at all?  His mom chipped in a small amount of money, and his dad gave us a cash gift after the wedding.

Do you like your in laws/future in laws?  FIL, yes, loves him. MIL, so-so. His 2 sisters and 1 brother, yes, they're real cool. His brother in law is nice, his sis in law seems nice too

Have they ever come to visit you? No, they live in another country

When you get married/when you got married did you gain any nieces and nephews?  I will gain2 cuties, nephew/nice, ages: 2 yrs old and 1 month old (as of right now - will be older next Sept of course)

Have your FILS helped with the wedding at all? Not really, just his sister gave us opinions on flowers, theme, etc.

jenn.daniel

Do you like your in laws/future in laws? yes, they're awesome!  I'm facebook friends with a couple of FI's aunts too.

Have they ever come to visit you? yes!  About a month ago, and before that they came for my birthday and brought me cake. 

When you get married/when you got married did you gain any nieces and nephews? no - FBIL is only 20!

Have your FILS helped with the wedding at all? yup!  FMIL is planning the RD, and apparently she wants to talk wedding stuff this evening.  FMIL also interviewed photographers with me.  FFIL isn't supposed to get involved b/c he takes over and drives everyone crazy.  He means well, though.  He did taste the caterer's food with us!  oh, and they both tasted cake as well.  We're using FILs timeshare for the honeymoon, and FBIL offered to pay for our plane tickets.

Do you like your in laws/future in laws? DH has mixed feelings about his family, so it kind of carries over to things being even more weird for me. For the most part, they're very nice people ... that are completely out of touch with reality in some way or another.

Have they ever come to visit you? We visit with his mom, sister and sister's family like once a month. We only live about 20 minutes from them, so it's never like an over-night stay or anything like that. DH's dad and step-mom live 3 hours away, they stopped by literally once for an hour a couple days before the wedding and that was it. They invite us up to stay with them all the time, though, so I think it's nothing personal, they just hate making the drive.

When you get married/when you got married did you gain any nieces and nephews? I got 1 nephew, who was our RB. SIL is permanently engaged to a guy that has 3 kids, the youngest lives with them (The other 2 live with their mother), so I kind of consider him a "gained nephew".

Have your FILS helped with the wedding at all?  DH's cousin did our awesome flowers, he also threw my shower, and on the actual day he ran around helping our DOC out (Nobody asked him to, he seriously volunteered, I didn't even know he did it until afterwards ... the man just loves weddings, lol).

Also, SIL did the totally awesome thing of not being a pain in the ass about being a BM. Considering how aggravating both of my sisters were, I was grateful that when all I asked was "Get the dress and show up", that she actually did that without bitching about it for 2 solid months, lol.
