Do you like your BIL/SIL?

[circa1978]

Brought to you by the fact that I really don't mesh with my brother's increasingly serious girlfriend. 

[eddy]

Yes I love my BIL. He is fun and good to my sister and fits in our family perfectly.

She chose well. :-)

[wambam]

Until she left my brother, I thought of my exSIL as family. I loved her immensely.

My sister's husband is so weird. I can't even begin to describe him.

My H's brother is fine. He's very young and acts very young.

[shamrockshake]

I don't have one yet, but I really like my one bro's GF, who is the mother to his son, and they say they will be getting married at some point, so I usually refer to her as my SIL for ease. But she's very nice, very laid back and down to earth and my brother is very happy

I like my sister's serious BF too, he seems really good for her.

My other 3 brothers have no serious relationships and that bums me out lol

oh, duh. I do have a BIL- my H's brother. Yeah. I like him, we don't have much in common though, but he's a nice guy

[LeggsBenedict]

I will rank 3.

I like my sil. I kept her in the divorce. my brother is not pleased.

I like my future brother in law, he makes my sister very happy and will be a great step dad.

I am unsure about my brother's girlfriend. she is nice. but I can't help but feel he deserves more.

[underwaterrhymes]

I love all of H's siblings and most of their spouses.

One spouse I do not love, but can generally get along with.

[suzyp]

Yes. But my sisters both met their DHs when I was in high school. There are some things about each of them I don't care for, but I like them in general.

My SIL (DH's sister) and I are not close. She's nice enough, but she's 12 years older than I am, very into appearances and we just don't mesh. She also missed our wedding, so that was a pretty big kicker for me and really impacted my relationship with her (and my DH).

[trafficgirl]

I like my BIL and SIL well enough (H's brother and his wife). They're nice people and we get along well.

SIL can talk and talk and talk though. And she's a SAHW and will call me in the middle of the day to discuss something, then won't shut up. When this first started happening I thought it was an emergency or something. Now I just don't answer her calls.

[pelirroja]

Yes, I love my sisters in law. We all were in the same class (triplets) and I was close with one of H's sisters before we started dating.

I also loved my sister's ex-bf. I've not yet met her new one but I'm hopeful!

[iamgrace]

I like both my brother's wives, but I'm not sure if they like me. Haha. I don't really enjoy my sister's SO.

I get along quite well with my H's sister...his brother is another story. lol.

[olegregg]

No, not really. Everything revolves around her, and she's loud.

[CurlyQ284]

No.

[rachers]

I love all of H's siblings and their spouses - I got really lucky so far.

I like one of my brother's GF's but don't know the other one at all. She seems really young.

[meggers5]

I adore my brother's wife. She is sarcastically funny and I love her.

FI's one brother I do like, though I don't see him often. His other brother I am meh about. He has twice commented on my weight (in what he thought was a positive way, but still, just don't). I've never met FI's sister but we are close in age and she looks lovely.

[Wallflower]

I adore my brother's wife. She is a very good match for him and is a good friend to me.

I used to adore my sister's husband, until the divorce and a lot of stuff came out. I tried to be supportive of my sister and at the same time, tried not take sides because I know that there are two people involved in a marriage. But then ex-BIL pulled some shit when my Dad died and that was it for me. I ask after him with my niece because I know how it felt when my mom's family would trash-talk my father, but in my heart, he's dead to me.

[lilybug]

My ex SIL is still my bff. I luff her.

I like BF's sister okay. We get along on the surface but our parenting styles are night and day, and we both know we're judging each other. We've talked about it. The good thing is that we're both live-and-let-live people so we don't argue about it.

[pitta12]

My brother's wife I like pretty well, but we have nothing in common so it's not like we would just hang out much. She puts up with my brother on a daily basis, though, and I give her major props for that.

My sister's husband is super cheesy in a really annoying way. DH can tolerate him better than I can.

[tacokick]

Not really. She is pleasant and friendly to talk to but she also does these bizarre selfish things and acts like a 13 year old so it is hard to connect with/like her much. I'm not close with my brother so it doesn't affect me much. It could be worse but she isn't anyone I would want to spend time with by choice.

Eta: Oh and my husband's sister is very nice. Very new age-y but easy to get along with. I like her girlfriend a lot too.

[dottyblue]

My BILs, married to my sisters, are both pretty weird. One is completely anti-social and the other is a complete idiot. We are all civil to each other (I get a little hostile with the idiot because his idiocy tends to hurt my sister), but that's the extent of it.

My SIL, DH's sister, is a doll. She and I get along really well.

[chedominique]

My H's brother (BIL)- meh. He has his moments. Once my daughter was born, he became more likeable.

BIL's wife (SIL#1) - Yes. She is so down to earth and keeps BIL in check.

My oldest brother's wife (SIL#2) - No. She is so trifilin to my brother and the rest of my family, so I'm not really a fan of hers.

My older brother's wife (SIL#3) - Yes. I don't interact with her that much because both her and my brother are OOT, but she is really sweet.

[luckyval]

I absolutely adore my SILs - they're awesome and we're super tight. Way closer to them than I am to my sister.

[Deleted]

LOL no.

BIL (H's brother) is an ass to him and always was. SIL talks shit about everyone behind their back; I can only imagine what she says about me.

Also a few years ago, they called their son "Suzy" because he wasn't as "macho" as they would have liked. When he got hurt and cried, or whatever, they called him Suzy, and when he said "My name isn't Suzy!" they said "If you act like a girl, then that's what we'll call you." So. I don't like them.

[Deleted]

I love my SIL, as much as my real sister. But it was a little rockier when we were younger mainly because my husbands dad passed away right before we started dating and I think she relied on him a lot to fill that roll for her and when he started having his own life it was hard for her. It was mainly between them. But i did NOT jive with my sisters exFI! So I know how much it sucks when you don't get along.

[chchchia]

I go with percentages when it comes to my in laws, with the exception of my mil, she is (% all the time. Others it may be a 40% yes and a 60% no kind of day..some days they are 100% and that's how it goes with me.

[noodleoo]

It's complicated.

My H has 2 siblings. They are nice enough, but we are *very* different people and they are very different from my H. I joke with H that his acorn rolled pretty far away from his family tree. It doesn't help that they were not very nice to me for years when H and I started dating. Things are better now, and I actually like both of them. However, family dynamics are tough and they create a lot of stress/drama whenever they try to organize visits or family events. I post about them a lot...

Thankfully I get along really well with my sister's H.

[riffraff]

There is alot of bad history with my H's Sister, and it's very hard for me to "forgive and forget" we get along now,but sometimes I just feel like it's fake getting along to appease MIL. I wish we had a better relationship, but it is what it is I suppose. Now we live across the country, and honestly it's better this way.

[olive]

I don't have a relationship with my husband's sister but I love my BIL (husband's brother) and his GF very much. We vacation with them and I frequently text funny messages back and forth with my BIL and talk on the phone.

[jinkies]

I get along with H's sister fine at family meals and in social settings.

We'll never be BFFs or anything though. She's kind of an asshole.

It's an ongoing source of contention that my husband wants her to have custody of our kids should we both die, and I am horrified at the idea.

My brother's wife died last year. She was a very nice person, but she was 20 years older than me and we had almost nothing in common. I liked her fine enough for family.

[sineadorebellion]

One of my sister's boyfriends is trying to find his way and he's a good guy that gets a bad rap sometimes. I really love him. My other sister, well... Her boyfriend is nice but he makes minimal effort. He's just not that into us.

Lol @ H's sister. Not much else to say about her. The feeling is mutual I'm sure.

[Deleted]

Yes! I really lucked out. This past thanksgiving my whole family (mom, dad, brother, sil, sister and future bil) got together with DHs whole family (mil, fil, sil and her H, and other sil) and there was zero drama!
