I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ON MY IN LAWS GOOD SIDE BUT KNOW THIS IF YOUR ON THE OUTS WITH SPOUSE DON'T TURN TO IN LAWS BECAUSE THEY WILL PLAY GOOD GUYS UNTIL IT GETS UGLY AND WILL ALWAYS TAKE THEIR KIDS SIDE AND DROP YOU LIKE A BAD HABIT. BEST THING KEEP IN LAWS AS FAR AWAY ABOUT PERSONAL STUFF JUST SHOW UP WITH THE FRUITCAKE AT XMAS AND CALL IT A YEAR. NO SERIOUSLY YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE A GOOD RAPPORT WITH SOMEONE DON'T YOU?

I was friends with my MIL until I stopped being her puppet. Now she thinks I'm evil ... seriously. And of course my husband is wicked as well for choosing me over her (she actualy asked him to do that when we were pregnant with our second child!).
But she has disowned her daughter a couple of times, beat her husband, and has had depression for 20 years with little counseling and a lot of meds. She scared her parents away to another state a year and a half ago (I am not exagerating! If only you knew).
If you have serious problems with your in-laws (not the regular stuff ... I mean serious problems) read Toxic In-Laws by Susan Forward, Ph.D.

Not friends exactly but have a good rpport.
It depends ,what kind of culture /background they have & whether it overlap yours.
We need to be clear about one thing that in-laws can not replace parents & same should be understood by them also.
It's their child with whom one needs to spend life & to dvelop an understnding ,hence relation with in-laws should be maintaintained upto an extent help your marrige not otherwise.

Yes, why not? You marry the girl, you marry the whole family!!! So you have to like them. In my case these people are quite nice.
