If you could be do me a favor and post funny stories with or about your FMIL, with happy endings unless it is better without it is not my place to judge the work of art you create.

    Elphiba, your FH sounds hilarious. "She has my mobile..."

    My MIL is amazing and has been for most of our relationship. The hardest part is that she gets overly excited or eager. Once, before we were engaged, we were going to Hawaii for a wedding and she only booked her and DH's ticket. My BIL and I had to figure out how to get on the same flight. It was kind of hilarious. Yup, she only booked one of her three sons flights but, wanted us all to pay her for the tickets first.

    My FMIL likes me, but hates her son and I together. I watched her fumble so bad saying "daughter-in-law" and when she finished she had to stop and compose herself. Lmao. Small victory for me to witness.

    My FILs didn't really see me eat much the first few times I was over. I have mild anxiety about my eating habits, I eat little meals multiple times, and feel bad when people point out that I didn't finish a plate because the portion was too large. But I slowly got more comfortable with them about it. One day we were all playing with my nephew's bat mask and mocking those YouTube videos of the man saying random things to his wife in the voice. FMIL put it on and in her best batman voice said "eat some eggs!" I couldn't help but laugh because she otherwise hadn't joked with me like that.

    It's not funny but my FMIL and I danced to "We Are Family" at my FH's brother's wedding. It meant so much to me because FH and I weren't engaged at that point, but all his siblings were married off already. She definitely made me feel like family before I even had a ring.

    I hit the jackpot with FILs. Ever since they were introduced to my parents, they have been texting back and forth, making dinner plans, going to eachothers' houses. The best part was, when they found out my parents met at a Flock of Seagulls concert, they both them a cassette of their greatest hits, and signed the outside of it, as if they were the band signing it. They all play jokes on each other. I am on cloud nine about it.

    I don't really have one about FMIL, but I have one about FFIL.

    When we got engaged, FW was on the phone with FMIL, and told her, who was super happy and excited. FMIL turns to FFIL and says something along the lines of "talk to your daughter she just got engaged!", to which FFIL replies angrily "Well I guess that means I'm not f*cking getting grandkids" and walked away. O.o

    That was it. He said nothing else about it, and has never congratulated us, or even really acknowledged our engagement.

    The funny thing is, FFIL loves both of us, and is always very welcoming (as much as a quite, recluse, man can be); and when he first met me, after having a few drinks, hugged me tightly and told me that I am welcome at his home any time. (This was the first time FW was open about her sexuality with her father, even though he has always "known").

    I know he loves us, and he is happy for us; I think it has just been a bit of an adjustment for him. FW's response to it all was "I'm not having kids because I don't want them, not because I'm gay"

    and we've both just sort of rolled our eyes and moved on. I'm hoping that's the end of it, and that there is no drama or emotional outbursts, between now and the wedding... or at the wedding for that matter.
