While in-laws sometimes get a bad rap, there are other times where they end up being the extended family you never knew you needed. We wanted to see how people in different states feel about their family-in-law, so we put together a survey that garnered both simple ratings and also answers to supplemental questions about mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, and everyone-else-in-law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our survey ran for a three-week period at the end of November. We recorded responses from 1,900 people in 41 states and an additional 1,000 people for the general portion of the survey. Participants were asked to rate their in-laws on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 1 being awful and 5 being great) to see which states, per opinion, have the best and worst in-laws overall. The supplemental portion of the survey then gave us some detailed insights into things like how well people get along with their in-laws, how similar they are to them, how likely they are to spend time with them without their spouse, and what traits make a good or bad in-law. Note that the states of Alaska, Delaware, Hawaii, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming didn\u2019t have enough participants to draw conclusive data from, and thus were left out of this article.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">States With the Best In-law<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1305\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_1-2-1.png\" alt=\"A chart showing the average favorability score (between one and five) of in-laws by state\" class=\"wp-image-6582 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_1-2-1.png 800w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_1-2-1-184x300.png 184w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_1-2-1-235x384.png 235w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_1-2-1-768x1253.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_1-2-1-380x620.png 380w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/1305;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And the state that loves its in-laws the most is\u2026 Rhode Island! Rhode Island is actually the only state that hit an average of 4 or higher on our 1-to-5 rating scale, as every other state falls somewhere between 3.19 and 3.94. That 3.19 belongs to Arkansas, or as we can now call it, the state that hates its in-laws the most, and the 3.94 belongs to, get this, Massachusetts. This means that the number one and number two states for in-laws are actually bordering each other. But it actually goes even further: The second-worst rating after Arkansas is a 3.38 belonging to <em>Connecticut<\/em>. This means that the geographic triangle created by Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut is actually just the most conflicted area in the country when it comes to opinions of in-laws.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1950\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_2-1.png\" alt=\"A series of graphs covering how well different generations get along with their in-laws\" class=\"wp-image-6583 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_2-1.png 800w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_2-1-123x300.png 123w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_2-1-158x384.png 158w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_2-1-768x1872.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_2-1-630x1536.png 630w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_2-1-380x926.png 380w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/1950;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s take a look at how our survey respondents, on average, answered some in-law-specific questions. In the battle between mothers-in-law and fathers-in-law, people are just over 1% more likely to have an \u201cawful\u201d relationship with their father-in-law and just under 4% more likely to have a \u201cgreat\u201d relationship with their mother-in-law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we look at generations, there\u2019s an apparent trend toward getting along better with in-laws the younger you are. However, when looking at the likelihood of spending time with in-laws without their spouse present, basically every generation is about even except for baby boomers, who are much less likely to spend time with any children-in-law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Look at In-law Relationships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1850\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_3-1.png\" alt=\"A series of graphs detailing different aspects of peoples\u2019 relationships with their in-laws\" class=\"wp-image-6584 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_3-1.png 800w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_3-1-130x300.png 130w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_3-1-166x384.png 166w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_3-1-768x1776.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_3-1-664x1536.png 664w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_3-1-380x879.png 380w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/1850;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re like us and thought that in-laws stay with their kids more often than said kids would like, think again. Our survey data shows that the preferred visiting time versus the actual visiting time of in-laws never differs by more than 7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have the best relationship with your in-laws, there is still hope! While about 10% of our respondents have seen their relationship with the in-laws get worse, a whopping 44.6% report that they\u2019ve seen improvements in the relationship as time has gone on. The majority of our other statistics also lean positive. For example, only about 15% of respondents think their in-laws act differently toward them if their spouse isn\u2019t around, about 78% don\u2019t feel additional stress with their in-laws during the holidays or special occasions, and over 75% say they are comfortable being themselves around their in-laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a whole one out of five people that said they\u2019d never see their in-laws again if given the choice, however, so there is at least a little truth to the old stereotype about the rocky relationship some have with their spouse\u2019s parents.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes a Good (or Bad) In-law<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1655\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_4-3.png\" alt=\"A graph detailing the good and bad traits in-laws have\n\" class=\"wp-image-6585 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_4-3.png 800w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_4-3-145x300.png 145w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_4-3-186x384.png 186w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_4-3-768x1589.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_4-3-742x1536.png 742w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/shaneco-inlaws-graphic-v3_4-3-380x786.png 380w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/1655;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you yourself are an in-law, here\u2019s the section you can actually draw some useful information from! If you want your son- or daughter-in-law to love you more, avoid giving unsolicited advice, keep your distance from their personal life whenever you aren\u2019t invited, dial down the drama, and don\u2019t talk about them behind their back. As for things you should do? Welcome them warmly into the family, treat them like your own child (maybe those two go hand in hand?), provide all the help you can when it\u2019s asked for, and respect their space.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Closing Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Families are always welcoming new members through marriage, which means new in-law relationships are being created and developed every day.
