Re: WHO will SIT on front seat......
^that WAS my answer, i hope your teeny tiny brain can process it.
Ask your husband to buy a truck with the room for two ppl in the front passenger seat.... this will solve the problem.
IF and only IF this is the ONLY issue you have with your inlaws/MIL i would suggest let it go... I know it would be hard EVEN if it is just an small issue because even though I am a khulay dil-o-dimagh wali woman and a wife myself I STILL DO enjoy sitting with my hubby in the front seat... it is NOT an obsession, it is just a beautiful feeling of sitting close to your spouse whenever you get the chance to... whether it is the bedroom, car, or a restaurant. I think it all depends on a person's perspective as to what they consider romantic and sensational is. For some, romance is just the sex while for others it also includes holding hands, sitting close, looking at each other etc. outside of the bedroom ....
Now, i did live with my inlaws for the first six months of my marriage and i did let my MIL/FIL sit in the front seat with my hubz out of courtesy and respect EVEN if they hesitated to do so.... and i did not give it a second's thought or made a big fuss about it BECAUSE back in my mind i was assured that my inlaws were visiting us and will go back after a while so i saw a ray of hope that pretty soon i will get the chance to sit with my hubby every time we will go out. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, even during their short visit my inlaws DIDN'T tag along with us whenever we went out.... infact, my inlaws provided and created the situations in which i had quality alone time with my husband and i am so thankful about it.... BOTTOM LINE: in our family everyone stayed happy: me, my husband, and my inlaws...
Issue that i mentioned above and thousand others, my inlaws think i am so courteous and manners-wali and are happy that i blended in with them so well... My hubby feels so proud of me, thinks that i handle every thing so nicely and that I am the best wife and the best bahu one could ever asked for BUT deep in my heart my trick question is, WHY WOULD ANY "NICE" BAHU WILL EVER HAS PROBLEM WITH HER INLAWS ON SUCH ISSUES IF SHE KNOWS IT'S JUST TEMPORARY AND IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ON A REGULAR BASIS?????:) I am not saying kay Allah ka shukar my inlaws don't live with us permanently but i know that our lives would be different if they do... and which is okay as my life was different at my parents house, it was different when it was just two of us, it is different now when we have three little monkeys, and it will be different if other ppl start living with us.
Now in your situation, if your MIL DOES tags along with you whenever you guys go out, WHICH IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY BUT WHO KNOWS.... then even i would have a problem with that cuz in that case there is no hope of any change in the picture for the next 5-10 years... which btw are the most memorable and precious moments of a couple's life. BUT if you and your husband do get the chance to go out alone a couple of times during the week then i would say just make the most of these little opportunities and let go your MIL attitude/craving for sitting in the front seat when you guys go out with her.
Your husband might or might not help... he can talk to his mom but let me tell you it doesn't sound right and respectful... i mean it just doesn't.. it is not about being a mama boy.. it's just about being reasonable enough not to initiate a fight on a rather not-to-make-a-big-fuss-about issue. But IF there are other major things/issues going on between you and your in-laws then moving out would be the best solution and your husband should take a stand for it.
Obviously this is about more than the front seat, it sounds as though that was just the straw that broke the camel's back. In this instance you really need to pick your battles - sitting in the front seat isn't worth quibbling over, but going out alone with your husband certainly is. When we lived in Pakistan we were never allowed to go anywhere without my in-laws, and most of the time the entire khandaan wanted to go along. Finally I snapped and told my husband that I had a reasonable expectation of privacy, and that he needed to put his foot down. He did, and our final months there were more tolerable. It is your husband's responsibility to ensure that his mother treats you with respect. If you don't mind me asking, was this an arranged marriage?

Given the strong opinion implied in your comment, I'm curious to know what that post by a woman had that others lacked.
Re: WHO will SIT on front seat......
i sure do have lots of problems with my MIL ,but i am not that type of a person who should mourn about it.i do respect her,afterall she is my hubbys mom.i was only disturbed when she kicked me from the front seat,cause i was not expecting that.thats why i opened this thread to know the members views.i have been married for 6 years and did u guys found any thread from my side??i have a daughter u have seen her pictures in image 2 .yes i didnt went alone to anywhere with my hubby expect to the hospital when my daughter was being borned.
thaks for all the replies mambers .
honestly i wouldn't care about the front seat...it's useless to have a power struggle over that. i would feel offended if my hubby was giving my mom a ride, and told her to sit in the back. so it's reasonable for him to expect the same from me. if you argue about this your saas is going to try to make your life hell in all other aspects. also your saas is not alone; your husband needs to grow a spine and stand up to his mom. i understand he wants to keep peace, but his passiveness is actually going to cause more problems which will fester. he can just say "oh we didn't go out alone for a long time, i can't wait to take nazoo out for dinner." throughout the day he should emphasize how happy he is to have time alone with you. this is a subtle sort of conditioning that always works because it makes it clear it's just you two without being rude about it. i would be hella annoyed if ANYONE..even my own parents...were in my face all the time.

Re: WHO will SIT on front seat......
I really feel for you nazoo :(
why is your husband putting up with it...why cant he see you are hurt??
I wonder if any husband can live with the girl's parents while putting up with the same sort of stuff..I doubt it....now that would be a real test of "patience"....

seriously naz... this is so sad.. not the car seat thing but just the fact that you have NEVER been out with him alone... its so unbelievable but i m sure you are telling the truth. i have never seen any MIL like this really. you have a right to go out alone with him you know. you should share your concerns with your husband yar. Really i feel so sorry for you.

^ I'm pretty sure others said similar things, but that's fine. At least you saw it here.
