As every couple discovers when they get married, you don't just acquire a spouse when you wed -- you get the whole family! Whether it's navigating a culture clash, kibitzing in marital squabbles, spoiling the grandkids, or ducking out on the holidays, this book can help. Those who've lived to tell about it weigh in here. Packed with stories, advice, humor, and the hard-won wisdom of hundreds of others who've survived those problems and more, this fun, fast-paced book is a perfect -- and useful -- engagement or wedding gift.
I absolutely laughed my way through this incredible array of funny, sometimes hard to believe stories that only a daughter or son-in-law can truly relate to. This incredible assortment of stories just goes to show how widespread an issue it is between extended families that are brought together by the institution of marriage. The differences in various cultural pursuits and general lack of commonalities makes this collection both humorous and poignant. This is a fantastic gift for ANY married couple. KUDOS to a job well done!!!

Hilarious look at in-laws

I'm a fan of all the Hundreds of Heads guides (I'm on their mailing list to get early copies!) and this one rocks. It's filled with funny and helpful advice from the editor and the hundreds of contributors. I'm going to buy it for an upcoming bridal shower to comfort my friend who has a less than pleasant M.I.L!
