Surviving Your In-Laws -- be in the book

[Sharon Naylor]

Hello everyone!

Would you like to be featured in a book about Surviving Your In-Laws? No, it's not my book -- it's by a friend of mine and is part of the Hundreds of Heads book series. They're looking for real couples to profile, and you can remain anonymous in the book if you wish!

Here is the questionnaire, so just send it to HBond1@aol.com by this weekend to be considered for the book!

Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

Sharon

How do you want your name to appear? (you can also just put in your first name)

We're coming up to the end of our collection period for in-laws, but we still can use lots of GREAT stories, particularly in certain areas, below.

Please do what you can to send your submissions to us by this weekend.
Remember, for this title we're looking for funny, entertaining, something-out-of-a-movie stories, with some advice attached ...

In-laws aren't just Mom and Dad -- any stories and advice about brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law from hell or heaven?

Do you have any crazy/memorable stories about in-laws at your wedding?

What is the dumbest thing you ever did in front of your in-laws -- and what can we learn from you?

Are you married to a Momma's boy? How does that work?

Let's hear about those unwanted gifts -- we are looking for really off-the-wall stuff --

Do your in-laws have any weird hobbies?


What did your in-laws expect of you that was a surprise?


any conflicts with your in-laws about raising kids - what do you do?

Meet the Parents and Sports - any stories on playing sports or games with the other side

Oh I could come up with some great things for "Are you married to a Momma's boy? How does that work?"

[Sharon Naylor]

Sounds great -- it's exactly the kind of thing that Helen is looking to include in the book. Don't forget that you can use a different name or go anonymous with your submissions!

You should do it LJ! All you have to do is go through some of your old posts on here and add in a little clarification for people who don't know you.

I sent a response to the questions that are applicable to me. Helen said that my stories "cracked her up" and asked a follow-up question. Maybe she'll actually be able to use some of what I sent to her. That would be cool if any of my stories made it into a book.

[DragonYoga]

ooooo it would be cool!

I wish this would come AFTER we're married - my mom is definetely the weird in law! Poor Marv... lol

She's into reading tarot cards and going ghost hunting (I am too) Poor FH was eyeballing me when I mentioned tarot cards

Can you submit a reply even if you are not "officially" married yet?

[AlwaysABride]

I have survived my in-laws for the past almost six years by having the great fortune to live for three years in another country, and currently on the opposite coast of the US from them.

No, but seriously...

It's like that.

Absence not only makes the heart grow fonder, but in our case, it also cuts down on the chance of physical violence breaking out.

But if you think it will help her book, I will be glad to fill out the survey...

LOL!! I hear ya on this one. You know it's funny. I always said I would never marry a mama's boy. And what do I end up with?! Of course.

[Sharon Naylor]

Yes, you absolutely can send in a story even if you're not married yet! Even during the enegagement stage, they're still the in-laws, and this preparation time is often the time when so much happens interaction- and adjustment-wise.

I should have clarified that one...
