shacking up with the in-laws (28)
When my late husband and I moved to Southern California we lived with my in-laws for 3-1/2 months in the very same house and had no problems.Of course after that we found our own place.
Would I do that again in regards to residing with in-laws on a short term basis,sure why not.I already live with my current mother-in-law to be and we get along just fine.

It was nothin but trouble, my ex and I had to go stay with his parents for a time after he got transferred (he was in the Navy) So i thought all peachy-hunkie dorie it's only for a couple of months till we find out own place, OMG my MIL was that way, he likes this, fold like this, on and on, he had been my hubby for about 4 years at that point. Then she never respected that the room we stayed in was "our" room and would walk in whenever she saw fit...
and to boot we were paying her rent while we were staying there! Just a very bad situation all around for us.

tainogirl: You've been dating for a while and decide to get married, after the wedding you move in to set up house in the same house as your IN-LAWS! Its been know to happen here in certain cultures where the girl goes off to go live with the boy's parents and maybe a few more in-laws all on one house(for example they may live downstairs and the parents live up stairs) Maybe a sister law and brother-in-law might live on another part of the property with their families. There are occasions when all this communal living can lead to friction. Would you mind having your in-laws living in the same house as you and think it could be interesting? Or would you prefer your privacy and see this kind of living arrangement as a recipe for trouble? Would men mind this type of living arrangement with their mother and father-in-law on a permanent basis?
Leaving across the street is too close...Hell, leaving in the same town is too close!
This is not written in my profile, but I rather meet someone whose dear mother had passed or lives so far is like she's not around...maybe a guy with no sisters, only a big bunch of brothers, no aunts, or female cousins...I want to be the only Queen in that kingdom... Yeah, maybe they'll be very rough around the edges when it comes to women, but their hearts will be in the right place and will appreciate a woman, after not having that soft touch in their lives for so long...
BTW, for all those wondering, I still have a very good relationship with my ex-mother-in-law and my ex-sisters-in-law. One of them remains one of my closest friends.

Well you know some men never cut the navel string tied to their mom. So those types will be comparing you to mom all the time -especially if they live in the SAME HOUSE. The worse though is when even though they now have a wife to do certain things, they go to mama to have her do it and complain about why can't you do it like their mother. Cut the cord already!

tainogirl: I can almost hear it now:
"Well you know Danny likes his eggs a little dry." "Well you know Danny likes his shirts ironed with a lot of starch." "Well you know Danny always like the way I did my apple pie."

My ex once told my MIL that she should make spaghetti the way I did it...
Needless to say, he had never tasted her spaghetti again...and he's not getting mine either...
He told me once in front of his mom that her lasagna was better than mine.
I made sure I only cooked lasagna when he was out on fishing trips... No more lasagna for you boyo!
and I made sure he knew that I had made lasagna and had invited my mom, brothers and sister, nieces and nephews, everyone but him. You want to be fed, be nice to the cook. Actually it is wise to always be nice to the person that feeds you, you could end with food poisoning waaaayyyy too often...

On the plus side when the children come AND if you have a great relationship with your mother-in-law they can be a great source of advice - sometimes and probably won't mind babysitting the grandkids. Or they can find everything wrong with how you raise your kids.

She tried to instruct me on how to season his food, and everything, but she did not once say let me help. I already can not stand this woman... But that is another thread. So, no if I could help it. I do not want anybody telling me how to treat my man. They have only been Married since August 1st.
