is it odd that i do not mind and often encourage my wifes family to come up and stay with us and/or go places with us? My mom passed over a yr ago...i dont know if that has something to do with it...i have good relationships with my family. I know it is not typical...any ideas?

Is it 'odd'? Since odd means

1. Deviating from what is ordinary, usual, or expected; strange or peculiar:
Then yes, by definition, it is odd since most people don't do that.
Any ideas?
About what?
You like your wife's family. That's good.
You maybe feel a bit lonely without your mom. That's normal.

I enjoy my SOs brothers and sisters we grew close after their mother passed away and we often get together and go places and bbq. Actually this weekend is my BILs b-day this weekend and we are all getting together at our home and throwing him a special birthday like there mom did. Then we will do it up new school and the house will be full this weekend

I don't think so. I absolutely love when my SOs parents come here to visit or when we go to visit them.
Now on the flip side, I did not get along well with my ex husbands mother so I did not like to see her at all. She treated me like dirt.
I think if you have a good relationship with her family it is not odd at all, and is nice that you encourage it as long as it is also what your wife wants.
Lucky you. Be GLAD you have this oddity in your life. Many would like to go in the OPPOSITE direction from some of the in-laws....

I think it's a shame that it's not more common. My in-laws stay with us quite often, usually at least one weekend a month and my mother in law stays with me sometimes when my husband is overseas for a long period of time. We also vacation with our families and totally enjoy it! My father comes by a couple times a week and helps my husband on projects all the time.
