Does everyone just hate their in laws with a burning passion?

Discussion

I’m sorry if this offends anyone, but sometimes the level of vitriol toward in laws makes me kind of uncomfortable.

I’m not talking about the genuine stories where MIL posts about baby ahead of time on social media, etc etc I just feel like some of these stories are… mild and everyone is frothing at the mouth like “it’ll never get better go no contact don’t even tell them your due date!” Or people crying uncontrollably because MIL wants to … visit???

Maybe I’m just sensitive because one day I will hopefully BE an in-law and I will make mistakes and the rules of raising a newborn are going to change again in 25-30 years and I hope that I’ll be given some grace.
