Are you more understanding of your own parents' quirks than those of your SO's parents?

Asked by ParaParaYukiko (6116points) January 2nd, 2010

Everyone has weird parents, myself and my boyfriend’s included. During the school year I live in an apartment with both my boyfriend and my mother, meaning he has to put up with my mom’s odd behaviors (and she certainly has her share!). He does very well and seems to enjoy my mother’s company, but if it were the other way around, I think I would have some trouble living with his mom for 5 months out of the year.

Understandably living with your parents your whole life can make it easier to accept their oddities, but not always. So, jellies: what is your relationship like with your in-laws (or your current SO’s parents)? Is it easy for you to see past their quirks, and would you want to live with them for a long period of time?

Just curious. :)
