I feel very at home with her family. Now, you really don't have to answer this one! However, I really wish she could have met my aunt Roberta and my brother.
I think i feel at home pretty well
Her mums a bit of a nightmare but we get on okay. Her sisters actually kinda nice, but can be annoying... Very annoying. But we get on well.
מרגישה קצת תקועה אבל עם כבוד
I've actually spent time with her mom once. I've asked and made clear that it'd be cool to do more with her, but it just never gets Mentioned again. I've seen her daughter maybe five times in two years. I met her brother once. They all seem like fine people, but I just don't really know.
My closest relative that I visit is three hours away, do it doesn't bother me too much, except for when she complains about how little I have her do with my family.

Very at home with his mom an one of his brothers (he has 5 other siblings) don't know them that we'll an I've never met his father! Doesn't matter, he, his son an I are all that matters!!
Very very. I'm so very grateful to have been accepted by his family!
Couldn't be more at home. Hell, feels more like home than my home.

Very at home. They make me feel like I'm one of them. I love them and feel loved by them.
with some of them, very!
Not at all. I pray this changes with time. Right now things just feel very, very tense.
No, not at all. I've heard to many stories from my husband to ever be comfortable. I don't touch or assume anything. They have a particular way of doing things and I'm not about to mess it up or do things differently. I touch nothing unless its handed to me. I want to have a panic attack when I have a dirty plate but I can't leave it because that would be rude and they have two identical sponges. One for cleaning and one for dishes and they get mad when you use the wrong one?!
Ok just don't see them that much
It takes time for me to warm up to people. I'd say it would take me about a year's worth of interacting off and on to feel at home. Very likely, I'm going to be awfully quiet for a while.
Haven't met them yet. :o) When I do... I don't know. I don't expect to feel at home with them, but then I'm not sure she feels completely at home with them either.
I don't think it would be quite as bad as you might think.

It probably won't be bad, no. I am pretty good at getting along with most people. :o)

"not at all" will be an understatement.
