i have only hung out with them once but all of them made me feel comfortable and contrary to what he might believe i love his family. :)
I think I'm really starting to fit in. :}
Extremely :)
Theriadhe.. they were very nice and welcoming to me when I visited, but I think I am too self-conscious around his mom still >.<
Somewhat... They r kinda stuck-up-ish... And since I'm a homemaker, they tend to look down on me for not working a job... But raising my daughter myself Is priceless! My husband supports us and does great. We may not have all the materialistic things in life, but we have each other!
They also blame me bc he stopped hanging out with them as much... I ENCOURAGE him to go do stuff but he wants to be home! (wow. Done venting!)

Better then expected but still nervous
I have always been accepted with welcome arms by my wife's family. My own family was never very accepting of me, I guess I was the "black sheep" for having morals and a sense of personal growth, but my wife's family, even when I was only her friend, treated me like I was always one of their own. If I ever need anything, I know I can go to any of them and ask without fear of being teased or looked down upon. In a nutshell, they are not just my wife's family, they are MY family.
I haven't had that much interaction, but I get a long fine with her kids and her mom & dad. Think they actually approve of me. Looking forward to bonding with the kids more.
Yes, seems that you have the stamp of approval. Ultimately, if Brady and I are happy, they are all happy. And you are by far more different than any other man they have met so that is a good vote in your favor.

Never met any of his family they live in Ohio
I haven't spent much time with his family but feel fairly comfortable with his youngest son. I feel like his family may even approve of me but would like to spend more time together. Issues are that neither he nor I are super close to the extended family but the kids are the priority.
I actually really enjoy being at her family's place. I feel like i fit right in :P
Well if feeling at home is emotionally and verbally abusive, then yes I feel that i am. How can a potential newcomer into the family feel accepted when they are constantly trying to make me feel like I don't belong? I have to deal with my own blood relatives being this way at times, but I didn't get to choose them. I get to be picky with this choice, so they better shape up. whew! this is good venting..
With his immediate family, very much at home :). And I'm positive that as time passes and I spend more time with his extended family I will feel more and more at home with them.
I am starting to feel very "at home" with her family. They are always welcoming and have always made me feel welcome in their home. At one point I was even told "you count as family now". :)
I feel comfortable. She has a very loving and generous family. It is what I call a normal family, something that is hard to come by these days.
