oh gosh, where to begin!

My ffil is just fine, it's the fmil. She's not a nice woman (to anyone) -- she has some family history that's a bit of a mystery, but seems like she cut her entire family out of her life a long time ago, because my fiance has never met that side. So she has some definite insecurities about her own family, which she projects in crazy ways.

There are other things of course, but she's just generally hostile and critical. I dislike her quite a bit and resent the fact we live near his parents and not mine. I don't share one bit of wedding planning with her because it opens to door for too much criticism.

I'm jealous of people who marry into great families because mine is small to begin with. But my fiance is terrific so we'll just have to make our own little family.

Not FILs yet, lol he hasn't asked the question. His dad died when he was two and so did most of his dad's family so we don't know them. But his mom's side, LOVE THEM! They are funny and never overbearing if they don't see me for a while they give me a call just to check on me and make sure I'm okay and I don't need anything. His mom is the cutest most hilarious thing I have ever seen and so is his sister. I really love them and him and am very lucky to be on this side of the boat. I have been in the other waters with the insane FILs and it's not really worth it.
