40 Posts From People Who’ve Had Enough Of Their Fathers-In-Law
Like them, love them, or hate them, in-laws are notorious for driving their relatives insane. Some even seem to make it their mission to consistently meddle in our marriages, offer fresh and uninvited perspectives, and never pass up an opportunity to remind us of just how wrong we are about basically anything in life. And often, these people will be in your life for a long time, whether you can stand the sight and sound of them or not.
Mothers-in-law particularly catch the heat (sometimes rightfully so!) from negative media tropes and cultural stereotypes about being judgy, overbearing, and quite frankly, horrible. However, the other part of the equation often gets overlooked. So how about we balance out the scales a bit?
Today, we're taking a deep dive into the world of fathers-in-law who left their relatives speechless by being their most infuriating, obnoxious, and annoying selves. We at Bored Panda compiled a list of times people called out their partner's dads for all the nonsensical things they've done, so pull your seat closer! Upvote the pics that angered you most, be sure to share your own unpleasant encounters below in the comments, and don’t miss the chat we had about in-law relationships with psychologist and relationship coach Dr. Wyatt Fisher.

My Sister's Father-In-Law, Who Is A Very Conservative Trump Supporter, Was Not Happy That She Bought Her Son A Baby Doll For Christmas
Katie Lutesinger 3 years ago
My nephew has several baby dolls, and it's insanely adorable watching how tenderly he takes care of them. In fact I'm told when he was given his first one at the age of about two he instantly rushed over and hugged it! One reason why I keep saying he'll make an awesome big brother one day. <3

Show Me A More Manly Thing Than My Father-In-Law Doing The Laundry. I'll Wait
Frances M 3 years ago
This is actually brilliant if what he is working with is so horrible and hard to shift that it would ruin the washing machine with one wash load. I once used a laundromat machine that some one before me had used with machine oil stained clothes and all my clothes (on the subsequent wash) got ruined and stank because the machine couldn’t handle the oil.

When My FIL Last Visited, He Ended Up Shouting And Swearing At Me In Front Of My Toddler Because I Called Out His Homophobia And This Exchange Happened The Day After
DEW 3 years ago
Great job!! Everybody should love who they want to love. I don't understand what anyone does in their lives is other people's business. I judge folks for who I see standing in front of me. I don't care who you are with, sleeping, living etc... Why do you care about other folks lives??

Don't. Keep one of the ruined sets in a box under a bed, and bring it out when they arrive. Put it away when they leave.

How My In-Laws Eat Assorted Cheesecake
Donkey boi 3 years ago (edited)
2 things! Firstly, there is not a jury in the world that would find you guilty if you did something about that. Secondly, how do I find somewhere that sells cheesecake like that? [edit: I live in the UK and have NEVER seen cheesecake sold like that!]

My Cousin's Father-In-Law's Ladder Arrangements
Balso Steele 3 years ago
I've seen worse, by tradesmen scaffolders. As long as they're anchored & tied together properly (which they must be: look at the physics of the ladders. They HAVE to be tied to hold each other that way), there's nothing wrong besides no (visible) fall-protection harness & lanyard.

What do you think ?

Just because there's some shared DNA somewhere, doesn't mean you have to have a relationship with people. If they're disrespectful jerks, cut them loose.
Tenacious Squirrel 3 years ago
That’s true but you have to also consider the link - your partner. You can’t force them to cut contact with their family. So often it means you can be stuck :-(
