Quote: and actually, my MIL had to live like this irt HER MIL. (across the street). How they survived like that for so many years, I just don't know.
It is ironic you say so, because MIL and FIL lived across the street from MIL's parents for 30+ years (that is the house we are buying, W's g-dad passed away earlier this year, g-mom passed away a few years ago). One of the other things that makes me tread lightly is the fact that MIL lost her father earlier this year, so I am hesitant at times to start disagreements with her over the house. But I guess I'm just going to have to bite the bullet, get over my CA behavior, or live with the consequences.
The side note on this is MIL has lived for 30+ years with her mother constantly invading and controlling her M, so perhaps she has been conditioned to see nothing wrong with her doing the same with her daughter.
