I was on facebook today and my brother's girlfriend had me tagged in some pics from his college graduation. It occured to me that I really do love her like a family member. They have been together for a few years now and I think we all want him to hurry up and propose to her already!
She's so kind to my daughter, we both own reptiles (she got hers after falling in love with mine!), she's just a really great girl.
I think it's funny because I think she's the ONE person we've actually liked!
So your siblings... do you like their SOs?
@KatyElle: I am so jealous of your post - my brothers SO / babymama is an ungrateful , gold digging , selfish , rude little biatch ...to put it mildly...
I'm an only child, but I just wanted to say that I hope (think?) my SO's siblings feel the same way about me! I love them, and can't wait to (officially) be a part of their family. I'm FB friends with all of them, and though we're not geographically close, when we all gather for family functions, I always feel loved. (Feel free to puke now, after that love-in, lol.)
Which one? The one I've met, had numerous meals/drinks with, played soccer with, etc.? Or the one that I've met twice in 3+ years, didn't respond to our engagement party invite even to say no, etc.? The first is great. The second, I find super funny people keep suggesting I ought to have as a BM.
ETA: Oops, thought that was asking abt FI's siblings. My siblings SO? One is kinda weird and I don't totally get. The other I invited to be a BM. :) Originally wasn't close, but she grew on me lots.
ehh... dont phaze me i guess.. my mom loves her..i mean i dont hate her its just she used to be in loveee with my FI when they were young..yuk ..yea know you know what i mean..;/ lol
My BIL and I had a rough start, but we're buddies now. He's softened alot with the birth of my niece. He's like a diamond in the rough type guy, with alot of rough before you hit the diamond :)
My brother has always picked the greatest women to be with...I can't remember a girlfriend or wife of his that I didn't love...my sister on the other hand...ya...she's 17 and she's in LOOOOOVE...with a dirt bag...no job no car no motivation...no nothing...complete failure to thrive...sits around his moms trailer all day long and plays video games waiting for my sister to move heaven and earth to find a way to go the 8 miles to his house...I wish I could go into detail...but I think ya'll get the picture....grr....and granted, nobody; doctor, lawyer, president of the United States will prolly ever truly be good enough for her in my eyes...but this guy is just scum...UGH!
My sister got married last spring and I love her husband! He definitely fits in with the family. I have 2 sisters and we are a little weird and a little obsessed with our family dog, but he embraces our weirdness and loves the dog as much as we do (he even tags the dog on Facebook when they go places).
I have literally been a wacky Aunt Jackie to my twin sister's Roseanne family up until this new episode of me getting married. I have been all up in their family business and seen them through fights, relocations, births and sunday dinners. I pretty much have the same relationship with my sister's husband as she has (minus the boinking), i like him when she does and ignore him when she tells me to.
I love my sister's husband. He's actually the best man in our wedding.
Well... honestly. :)
DH's sisters BF's I adore. I love them both to pieces and they're so fun! I can't wait till they propose and are officially family.
My brother's GF is really sweet, but SO shy and quiet! The girl is a little mouse! Again, I like her, but she's too afraid to say anything and we've never really had a full conversation.
My BIL (sister's hubby) is really great... but he's also a bit of an arrogant know-it-all, talks about himself all the time type of guy. He treats my sister like gold, and would give anyone anything they needed, so he's a great guy. But I can only handle him in small doses!
It's hard to actually have the conversation be about anything but him when talking to him because he always turns it around on himself, then he'll brag about his accomplishments in the Marines, which, granted, are pretty awesome... but they were awesome the first time I heard about them... not the 4th and 5th. :)
He really is a great guy, and I do love having him in the family. He just has some rather quirky/slightly annoying characteristics.
i love my brother in laws and love my FI siblings...but not so much his siblings SO!
I love my BIL. They live kind of far away, but I really enjoy seeing him. He's like an older brother that I never get to see enough :).
I honestly couldn't ask for better sisters inlaw. They are really sweet and we've become really good friends. Their significant others however is another story. I think it's because their SOs are not the greatest people that I have the opinion that they deserve much better..but i love them and as long as they're happy..that's all that anyone can ever ask for. Now if the bfs cheat on them again..we might just kick their butts to the moon!
My brother has only had one serious girlfriend and they just broke up. I got along ok with her but found her a bit too much to deal with sometimes.
She was a nice enough girl and seemed to love my brother but man oh man was she stubborn and loud!!! I seriously had to ask her to lower her voice a few times because it was hurting my hears how loudly she was talking. Besides that she was a total know it all and would never admit to being rude or wrong even when you showed her proof she was wrong.
As for FI's siblings & their spouses. They're all nice but the youngest is 12 year older and oldest is my parents age. Not much in common there except for his BIL who is cool and nice to have a chat with.
My siblings are 17, 13, and 10, so I haven't had to worry about that yet! I'm interested in what kind of girls they bring around. I'll hopefully get along fine with my biological sibling's future SO, but I barely see my two youngest step siblings, so I probably won't know them as well.
As for FBIL's SO, she's nice to me....treats my fiancé awful. We think she's trying to stay on our good side through me. I'm nice to her when I have to be around her, but I don't go out of my way at all. She has little to no respect for my FIL's and is just plain rude sometimes. For the sake of keeping drama to a minimum, I don't confront her or call her out...besides, I can't stand my FBIL either. The least contact with them, the better.
I LOVE my SIL, she was my best friend before she even met my brother, so I was so happy when they got married. They're not pregnant with their first child, so excited!
My brother is in what seems to be his first actually serious relationship, but I haven't met the girl. I also haven't seen my brother in almost three and a half years, though, so it makes sense. It's kind of creepy because she has the same first and middle names as me, AND she uses the same uncommon nickname. Weird.
I love my BIL, he is beyond awesome. He really is like my brother. He's been in the family for like 12 years so I was only 12 when we met. We do stuff all the time, in fact last night my FI, my sister, and I whooped his butt at SORRY! lol
My brother's SO takes advantage of him a lot. He lives in a different country and she doesn't work, but neither do they have babies or are even engaged! Then she tells him to go to different countries that she hasn't been to but he has, so that she can see them... What a bitch. My entire family hates her, and she seems to hate us as well. Too bad he gets along with her... I just want him to be happy, but she just seems like the kind of girl that manipulates him way too much... good thing he's still got his head on his shoulders and hasn't proposed. Sorry... had to vent.
I tried to be nice to her once and approach her on FB and e-mail and got the answer "it's ok, we don't like each other, no need to be friends or talk". Biatch. Nuff said.
My BIL had a rough start but I like him more and more every year. There's some things about him that still annoy me but he works hard for his family and has made the best of some tough situations. We'll never be best friends but he's a good guy.
I have a love / hate relationship with my brother's Wife. On one hand, she can be great fun and I enjoy hanging out with her. On the other hand, she's suffering from post-natal depression and won't seek help, has been verbally and physically abusive to my brother, has threatened to take their baby overseas and has run up thousands of dollars in debt since they got married four years ago.
So yeah - love / hate!
I am an only child. But my Fi's sister and I get along so so well and really love each other. I cried this summer when she called me her sister, lol.
Unfortunately, I don't like her husband very much but I just keep everything on friendly, yet distant terms with him.
I LOVE my brother's girlfriend. He has dated a lot of girls, but she is the first one that I can actually see him marrying and hope he does. She has been so good for him and she is so sweet. They've been together just over a year and they just moved in together so things are looking good!
I have one sister and I love her husband. In fact, I sometimes joke that he is easier to get along with than she is. He is a wonderful brother in law.
...My BIL is hilarious...and he treats me like the baby sister I am...always picking on me and stuff...and when I see him I always yell (yes, yell) BROTHER!! and run and hug him. I do the same with my step-sister's husband. I've never had a brother, so they're making up for it 10000000000% I love them both to pieces :)
I didn't vote because I need to vote 2 different things. My oldest brother's girlfriend... I could do without her. She's a pushy loudmouth who loves to shove her opinions down your throat. She has her good points, but for the most part, no.
As for my other brother, I have never met his girlfriend/fiancee/whatever she is. All I know is that she is 11 years younger than him (He's 30, she'll be 20 this month) and has a horrible, redneck mother and a cat-molesting chihuahua. lol. I probably won't meet her before they get married.
Lots of interesting replies here!
I do feel very lucky, if my brothers ended up with biatches I feel like I'd have to say something.
I really like my sister's current boyfriend. I know they've had some marriage talks so we may be going into wedding planning mode again sometime in the next year! I know my whole family would be on board with that.
My brother is single so there is no SO to evaluate there.
My SIL is dating a guy who I haven't met (at least, I think they are still together - last I knew they were).
My sister has a baby with her boyfriend - we arent fans of him but he grows on us...its difficult to like someone when all you hear is negatives (my sister vents to me a lot). but i LOVED her ex husband like a brother, but they started dating when i was 4 so he kinda was like a brother - its sad to be the complete opposite with her SO now.
My little brother also dates a girl that i honestly dont care either way, she is really laid back and sweet but what bothers me the most about her is that she is completely against marriage and against the military (my brother is in the marine corps) 2 HUGE things that are important to my brother.
My sister's husband is a saint because he puts up with her all day every day! Haha, just kidding, I love my sis - she's just a little crazy :)
My husband's little brother has been dating his girlfriend for about four years and I love her to death. She is like a hotter, more glamourous-than-me little sister.
My BIL is the BEST! When my sister first started dating him, they went to different colleges about 1 1/2 hours away. I went to the same school as my BIL. He was a 5th year senior, and I was a freshman, so he showed me all around and even went to a few football games and house parties together. Since he had a car, he'd take me grocery shopping or home on weekends in exchange for being treated to dorm food once in awhile (why he would want that, I have NO idea- lol). He's all around a great person and I'm so glad that my sister found him. It's also great because my husband and BIL hit it off right away!
Out of all of the girls my brother has dated his current girl friend is definitely my favorite! She's funny, easy going, sarcastic and gives my brother a hard time when he deserves it. So she basically fits in with how my family is perfectly. She has been really good for my brother. They have only been together for a year but I have high hopes for them!
I like both of my boyfriend's brothers. I don't see them that often but they treat me like a little sister, which means giving me a hard time in a good natured way. I try to treat them the same. In fact I am in charge of the welcome home banner for one of his brothers who is in Afghanistan currently, and I made him a good luck banner before he left. I also get along really well with my boyfriend's SIL even though we have nothing in common.
My sister is single, my brother's gf, I haven't had much interaction with, but from what I know of her, I like her. And my family likes her too, so she must be good people :)
I like my sisters babydaddy, hes a nice man we just are very different people.
My brothers wife is a little psycho and i can only handle her in small doses.
My SO's brothers gf is ok. But i stopped liking her when she was texting while we were all talking to each other. And the fact that we know nothing about her after 3 years. Shes also robbing the cradle.
My SO's BIL is great. He has his heart in the right place and he's pretty funny.
My SIL's bf is very nice and hard working, but we just wish she would date a bit more before trying to settle down. She's still in college and hasn't really dated anyone else.
He would be OK as a brother-in-law, but it's not like we'd be closest friends.
My sister has a knack for dating guys who drive me crazy because I know they're not good to her and that she's trying to be whoever they want her to be, but her current boyfriend seems great. That said, I've only met him once, so I don't really have a strong opinion one way or another.
My brother? His only really serious girlfriend in college was sweet, imo. I think he's casually seeing someone now, but he's in NY and I'm in VA, and we don't talk to each other much, so I'm not sure. (No bad blood, just not super close.)
My FBIL's SO is great - she's been with him for many years and recently moved in with him... they've been dating since high school (started a year or two after my FI & I), so I've spent enough time with her to know I like her. We're too different to be amazing friends or anything, but we have fun together.
Soo... after that book, I guess my answer is all and none of the above?
I honestly feel the same- I love my brother's girlfriend to death, even though we don't have that much in common. She's just an all around lovable person. (I may like her more than he does, haha) His last one was a bitch from hell, so I appreciate the current gf all the more.
Wow, I misread this topic! This is my original post, but it's about my SO's sibling, not my sibling's SO - Not going to lie, sometimes she drives me crazy. We are such different people and I can't always wrap my head around her. But all external situations aside I think she is just the most gorgeous person, so kind and wonderful and loving. If anything, her driving me batty means that I'm weird, not her.
My SIL is very much the opposite of that. She's truly unpleasant. She obviously makes my brother happy so live and let live, right? My SO and I won't speak to her anymore and they both know it. Sometimes she "forgets". She's blocked us on FB, which I think is hilarious.
