re: How do y'all marry people and hate their parents?

My wife doesn’t like and can barely tolerate my parents. i specifically moved away from them with my wife and son for the sake of my marriage.

They are good people that I love dearly and feel that I was raised well by but they are ok to mediocre grandparents and were pretty bad selfish parents.

They did all the right things in raising children but did the bare minimum in terms of building relationships or any affection.

We mostly don’t talk about my family unless they are coming to see us. She gets pretty angry around them.

I did send a card and called my mom this morning.

ETA: I love my in-laws. I’ve actually got along with every girlfriend’s parents better than I have my own.
