NO
-
Not even if the house was free.
-
No. No. No. If/when we move back home, we'll be 4 hours from FIL and an hour or two from MIL. If it weren't for my family living there, we'd probably consider living further away. I don't want to give MIL any chances to just "stop by."
-
No. I love them, but no. Also they live in a town smaller than ours so I would never want to live there anyway.
-
NO WAY!
On the flipside we're getting a house directly next door to MY mom! lol. Her & DH have a good relationship though & she has healthy boundaries! She currently lives a block over (at the ministry home we have) and she minds her business! I like being close though b/c G goes & stays there often (he just walks over) & I work for her so it makes for easy meetings & touching base!
-
Um Nope, definitely not. But I also don't want to live next door to my parents either.
-
DH bought a house 2 miles from his parents in the first year of our relationship so we're kind of stuck that close to them for at least the next 5 or 6 years.
-
My MIL would respect our boundaries, but my SIL would not. Her kids run all over, she comes in and takes groceries, etc. I could not handle that. My mom wouldn't respect them either. Sometimes I feel like living 45 minutes away is too close. My ideal is a couple of hours away.
-
I wouldn't, but that's because we have big boundary issues with my MIL. Not to mention she lives too far from the city (there are def some god things about h living 2.5 hrs Away). that sud, I am slightly scared that she will be on our doorstep with her suitcases the second our son (her first grandchild) is born.
-
Pre-baby, no way. Post baby, I'd actually think about it! They're great with DD and getting a break every so often would be nice. Plus they're really into gardening and their yard is literally manicured. But I know it could have it's downsides too.
They live an hour away from us, and I used to think it was just the right distance (we actually only saw houses within a certain proximity from them) but now with DD, sometimes I think it's a little far. But just saying that is jinxing myself for something, so I have to say it's perfect as it is!
-
Hellllllls naw. I like my MIL but its too close for me!!
-
I would. We used to live 5 minutes from them and they never stopped by all the time or unannounced. They let us decide when we wanted to see them and we usually went to their house.
Now, MY parents? That would be a no. My mom's entire family lives on one street so she's used to just popping in whenever. That coupled with the fact that she drives me nuts when I'm around her for too long would be a very bad situation!
