Thats because you are young and single and have not had to deal with any really toxic inlaws. Trust me. Once you have had a dose of the inlaws from Hell a little trash wont bother you in the least.

But maybe Im misunderstanding. Define trashy ghetto and ignorant.

WOW........I think just about everyone in this thread understands what my point is. I was asking a hypothetical question. Let's not get bent out of shape.

And for the record, A little trash WOULD bother me! Have I ever been around trash,YES....and I don't like it. Because I don't like being around trash that makes me "young". How foolish is that.

It sounds like you feel insulted because I don't want to be around trashy people. Well shame on me.........you won't get any appologies from me.

The old adage is true: You also marry the family, so if you don't want your kids to pick up habits, don't marry the person. I have friends who are bordering on divorce right now because of one's parents. He allows his mother to mistreat his wife, and his wife has had it.

WOW yourself. I was not bent out of shape.. What the Hell is wrong with you. I stated my opinion and I asked a simple quesion. Because just maybe we werent talking about the same thing. I grew up really poor so maybe I have a different outlook. I dont know your background.

And no I dont feel insulted cause you dont want to hang out with certain people. I was just pointing out that maybe you might be missing out on meeting some really nice people cause you were prejudging them.

No apology needed. Be who you want to be. Makes no difference to me.

Well Ron, I hope you are extremely fortunate when you fall head over heels in love. And I'm not being sarcastic. We can only hope for the best. LOL

Take the high road and inform and educate and culture them......if they don't want to fit in then avoid them on most occasions...

Anyway, one thing that I think about is what if I meet a young lady that I really like and I decide I want to marry her but her family is down right trashy and ignorant.

If my "wife" and I decide to have children how do I tell my wife I don't want my child to be around your family nor do I want your family in our home.

Let's say we don't have children but I just don't want to be around her family or visit them because tey live in "rough" areas and they are a very "colorful" group.


(vice versa)

How do people handle this situation?

Make 'cool family' one of your must haves when looking for a partner.
Maybe it's just the culture I was raised in, but we always say you marry the whole family. And you're all stuck with each other - which is supposed to be a good thing b/c you create a more powerful unit...but I can see how that could be a burden if you fall in with the wrong crowd.
