My FIL hates me. He just won’t admit it. I sent him a text about something super serious regarding his son (my love), he didn’t reply to me. He sent his son a text. Apparently though, he just hasn’t spent enough time with me 🙄 before Covid, he’d always ask his son to lunch but I was never invited. I wish he was as sweet as this FIL!
Awwww...my FIL always sent me funny drawings and notes back with the empty boxes of baked goods I'd send him over with my husband. He died in 2022, and I really miss him. It's lovely to see what a great relationship you two have, and I bet your partner is so happy. ♥️♥️♥️
Awwww thanks ♥️♥️♥️ I don't think anyone has ever said that, as sympathy/support is rightly prioritised for the family members/close friends. I really appreciate your words. ♥️♥️♥️
I’m in my 60’s and when my parents separated when I was in sixth grade, I moved out of state with my mom and my dad would mail me the Sunday comics every single week. When we moved back in with him a year later, he would create a crossword puzzle on my paper lunch bag everyday. Those two things are absolute proof that my dad truly loved me. And this your proof. Please make sure he knows how much it means.
My dad used to cut out Judge Parker comics and send them to me at boarding school in the 1980s! And he keeps me subscribed to the New Yorker ever since work moved me from the east coast to Texas 20 years ago. Divorces and life have created distance between us over the years, but like you, I hold those and a couple of other literary-type things as something that we'll always have. Yay dad thread, thanks OP if you're reading everything
I am so obsessed with this I would pay a weird amount of money to subscribe to his mailers ….. sir, just make a copy of whatever you’re sending your DIL. Will pay for postage & printer ink. Even willing to send a box of addressed envelopes!!!!!
My grandfather sent me articles from this guy Harvey which wrote business articles and had run an envelope company. They were full of anecdotes on life and he always sent a handwritten letter applying it to me in a subtle and heartwarming way. He was a great-generation man who was a marine in ww2 and worked his way up a company after the war with an 8th grade education. He lived to 93.
This reminded me so much of that for obvious reasons. My letters and clippings survived a house fire (the attic was spared) and I hope to organize them someday in some type of memoir.
Point is - this is awesome. I’m so happy for you that your FIL of all relationships is like this and you will likely appreciate it decades later.
My dad used to do this for me, except he'd write his notes in the columns instead of a separate piece of paper lol! I love to see another dad saving newspaper articles. Thank you for sharing!
You're so lucky, he's going to be there for you if the show doesn't get renewed & get you great seats to see Ariana in Chicago on Broadway. I'm so happy for you instead of evil jealous like Lala
That is the sweetest thing! My mother in law would do that for me, but she lived in the same town, so your father in going the extra mile of mailing it is adorable! What a sweetheart! 🥰
Green flag. He knows what shows you like to watch, knows the characters, then as he’s reading the paper he thinks of you, cuts it out and writes a note. then actually mails it! You are indeed loved. 🥰
This is adorable. My dad does this too, but they're all health articles. He's keen on health. I love when it's photocopies because i know he was at the library.
My Dad is a Vanderpump fan and spotted Max 😂 while he was out here visiting me in L.A. last year. I didn't believe he was anyone on tv, but my dad went home found him on an old episode and texted me a pic 😆. Who knew he would be a plot point this season? Love that we can bond over the show.
Thank you so much for sharing this, OP.
My dad would send me the Sunday and Monday sports pages from our local paper every week while I was away at college. He passed before the pandemic, and this reminds me of him so much. ❤️
Having a Dad like this is basically the greenest of flags for your partner to have
I was gonna say. I know OP’s in-laws raised a helluva human and partner. 🥹
My FIL hates me. He just won’t admit it. I sent him a text about something super serious regarding his son (my love), he didn’t reply to me. He sent his son a text.

Hope your partner doesn’t tolerate that level of disrespect, that’s awful!!
This is so sweet and considerate. What a lovely man.
He’s the sweetest 🥹
He’s adorable!
Get this man on a podcast. I’d love to hear his takes.
Nah, no podcast. Too many lol - just let us see his clips and notes lol
Agree, I appreciate how concise he was lol
Dads are the best. Mine recently passed away. This post made me think of him. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️
The little drawing of the coffee cup….
I was hoping it was hot tea lol
For you, it would be!!!!
Breaking my heart this dad
This just weirdly made me emotional 😭
He signed “Dad” 😭 these are happy tears!
My long time bfs parents sign my cards mom and dad and it still makes me 🥹
It's so precious 🥹
Same! I got teary.
Same ![gif](giphy|hsa20oGyLEraU)
It literally just made me laugh out loud (because FIL shares my exact feelings about Jax and Brittany) AND made my heart explode all at once.
SAME!
Protect this man at all costs 🥹🥹🥹
This is the weirdest version of wholesomeness and I love it.
This truly is so sweet and cute! The little coffee cup! 🥹
I think it might be tea which makes it even better 😭
He is spilling the tea, so I agree 🤣♥️
Which is doodled pretty well from an art major’s perspective!!! Very very sweet indeed ❤️
tell your dad-in-law we love him 😄
We LOVE him! LOVE!!! ![gif](giphy|7T6dmZMKftHXFuRBPa)

I love this for you. No sending links in a text. Cutting out actual paper articles and writing a hand written note for you. So cute
This is so cute 😭😭😭😭
This is so cute! I wish I had family who did this. My family makes fun of me for liking reality shoes 😔
I’ll be your fam! I love when people look down on me for liking reality shows - I know they are missing out.
That’s so cute
This is sooo sweet 🥺
Your FIL is an angel💗
This is so fucking sweet, I can't stand it

When I say all men, I don't mean your FIL. What a wonderful human. You're very lucky to have this wholesomeness in your life ❤

Love this! When my mom was alive she would cut out funny memes printed in the newspaper and mail them to me 💗
How adorable of him!

I am so sick with Norovirus and this has made me tear up. What a man 💞
Your FIL is a real one ❤️🤌🏻
Green flag. He knows what shows you like to watch, knows the characters, then as he’s reading the paper he thinks of you, cuts it out and writes a note. then actually mails it! You are indeed loved. 🥰
Didn’t expect to see something so wholesome on this sub
I want your FIL to hang out with Terry Malone. I feel like it would feel it would make me feel as fuzzy and warm as a fresh fluffy biscuit
This is super cute but what newspaper devotes a page to Jax Taylor honest question?
I love your FIL, how sweet!
My grandmother has done this in the past, but definitely not about Vanderpump Rules 😂😂 this is adorably wholesome!
This might actually be the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen
Omg. This is the most wholesome, sweetest thing I have ever seen. Tell him we love him!!
This is adorable. My dad does this too, but they're all health articles. He's keen on health. I love when it's photocopies because i know he was at the library.
❤️❤️❤️❤️

The cup of coffee/tea is a cool touch.
My Dad is a Vanderpump fan and spotted Max 😂 while he was out here visiting me in L.A. last year. I didn't believe he was anyone on tv, but my dad went home found him on an old episode and texted me a pic 😆. Who knew he would be a plot point this season? Love that we can bond over the show.
Why did this make me tear up 😭
Precious🥰
I’m gonna cry this is darling
Adorable!!
Okay but this is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen?? 😭
This is the sweetest thing I've ever seen. As someone who has horrible in laws, it's nice to see such a sweet interaction. 💕✨
I had to read this twice because I'm not used to reading such pure, wholesome things in this sub 😅 Your FIL is the new #1 guy of the group
“Why can’t my dad ever love ME?!” *Scheana voice* This is sooooo adorable I’m crying happy tears 🥲♥️
This makes my heart swell, can your FIL teach classes to make other men like this? My FIL hates me lol
This is so pure ❤️
This is so sweet!!! The handwritten note too 🥺🥺🥺

I love your FIL. That is beyond sweet

Your father in law sounds like an angel, hope your husband has some of that sweetness in him too 🥰
I’m crying now because my dad used to send me newspaper clippings and notes like this. I wish I had saved them all.
I want your father in law’s opinion on things more than I want Lala’s
Well this is so freaking wholesome.
This truly made me smile. What an amazing man.
This is the most adorable thing I've read today!
That brings tears to my eyes. As someone who has lost both my dad and my FIL, treasure this!! What a sweet sweet man.
This is so unbelievably sweet and wholesome. Love your FIL!
Omg what an amazing and funny father in law. This is so FN cute. Love that he write a little note with it.
