Quote From: zakksmommThroughout my marriage, we lived with my mother-in-law. This is never a good idea because then, the mother-in-law runs the marriage. In my case, we had a child, lived with the mother-in-law and she made all the decisions. My husband never stood up for me for nothing! His mother was ALWAYS right, and God forbid I disagree, I had to apologize.
This lead to me wanting a divorce. I still care about her and the family, but I believe that living in the same household like that is a bad idea. There will always be confrontation that the spouse is not up to par because the way they do things is not the mother-in-law's way.
My Mother in Law lives in the same neighborhood with us and that is too close sometimes. Yesterday she wanted to watch our baby in the afternoon. She cleaned my bathroom while she was at my house!!!!!! when I got home she said she was worried about the baby being exposed to mold! I admit I'm not the world's best housekeeper but my house is not so filthy that the baby is going to get sick from it. I felt like I had been kiciked in the stomach. I try really hard to keep my mouth shut, because I'm not going to cause a rift between my husband and his Mother. She says she is just obsessive about certain things, but if it's not in her house she should LEAVE IT ALONE.
