re: Do you get along with/like your in-laws? Or your SO's parents?

My mother-in-law's meddling is more telling the wife what we're doing wrong. She's pretty opinionated and not afraid to share it. If my wife pushes back, she immediately shuts up and apologizes.

Funny story about mother-in-law. She's devout Southern Baptist. In the church anytime the doors are open. Doesn't really drink except the occasional glass of wine with dinner. When my first child was born she came to stay with us for a few days. She's old school and treats the man of the house like a king. Having supper ready every night when I requested(she pressed me for time), jumping up and handing me the remote anytime I walked into the living room, getting me a beer or something to drink as as soon as my glass or bottle was empty, etc. In short, it was pretty damn awesome. The last night she was there I had had a few beers and was talking with her while the wife was feeding the kid in the nursery. I told her I hated to see her go and I she spoiled me so much I wondered how she would have reacted if I had asked for a blow job. She died laughing and tells that story at just about every family gathering if she's had a glass of wine.
