Our families are somewhere in the middle. They don't hate each other but they have nothing in common and don't have a lot to talk about. Now that we have a son I hope they can be closer. I just wanted to see how other families got along.

Our families get along. But sense my family lives in a different state they really don't see a lot of each other. However we do live around other family members and both of us feel we would have been better off not living so close to them. No matter how good intentions they may have most of them around here seem to thank that their way is the only way. Giving some people a grandchild does bring them closer because they do have something in common. But not always. Only time will tell. Sense you a somewhere in the middle that is great, this grandchild hopefully will bring you ALL closer together. If not you are at least in the middle and not in the spot of having a family that doesn't get along at all. GOOD LUCK with the new baby

We are both foreigners in a third country, we meet each others family once a year, and that's plenty for me, to see his family that is. I'd like to see mine more often but the new one I have is the most important. I think my husband think my family are a bit daft, I think his have too many rules and regulations. It doesn't help that we can't communicate without spouse translating. I'm happy with the way things are, I didn't meet a foreigner in a foreign land for no reason. Good luck to you, I think a grandchild can make things easier anyway.

My husband and I are very lucky that our families get along famously! Both of our sets of parents live in the same town and my hubby and I live an hour away. Our parents go out to eat together and play cards and that type of thing. We're just lucky though!

This is quite normal, and I wouldnt worry too much about it. You know the saying "you can pick your friends", "but you cant pick your family". And it is so true. Being in the middle is Okay. there are families out there, who have not seen each other in years and years, so you not doing too bad.

My hubbys family and my family have nothing in common. I would dread getting them together. My son doesnt even like his grandmother (hubbys mom)...he sees how mean she is, and MY mom...he just loves....cuz shes sweet and so different from the other. Our families are very very different.
