Would you live with your in-laws or separately?

@momof2angels

I live independently and i wouldn’t have it any other way. I can be independent in my own home, wake up when i wish do as i wish without getting looks of dissaproval. If my MIL was different and accepting of the way i run things then i would have no problem with spending time with her but she is unfortunately just one of those women who just have to get her own way all the time. She is in pakistan and every year me, the hubby and kids go to visit for Eid and stay a few months. During that time she makes demands i wouldn’t mind if they were reasonable but they are not, she expects me to not use the same bathroom as my hubby we have a private on connected to our bedroom or put my clothes on the chairs as it is untidy. If i eat something i get the glares like i am doing something wrong plus the whole time we are there she makes it clear on more than one occasion that my DH built this home for her and his sisters, so naturally i feel like an outsider living there and try to compromise as best as i can without going crazy lol . We are going to pak next week lol i am already dreading it

Acha. I dont think what yr mil does is right, far from it. BUT what i want to ask you is that dont most of us go thru the same when we are at our parent’s home? there r certain restrictions that dont make sense to us but we have to follow them. Howcome doing that doesnt make us want to move away from them but when it comes to the inlaws all this becomes the highlight of yr life?!. Do u realise maybe if u lived with them they wud also get use to of yr lifestyle n wont act as shocked as perhaps they do now.
