Is it normal to be annoyed by your in-laws?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to get annoyed by your in-laws sometimes. You can care about them and still find their habits, opinions, or expectations irritating.

In-laws are people you may not have chosen, but they can have a big say in your family life. Different habits, unsolicited advice, boundary-pushing, or just spending a lot of time together can get under your skin. Lots of people feel this way, even when the relationship is basically good.

The useful question is what you do with the annoyance. If something keeps bothering you, talk it through with your partner and agree on boundaries together. You don’t have to adore your in-laws to treat them decently—or to want a little space.
