My DP and I have been together for around 2 years. Prior to moving in together he spent most nights at my old flat. The flat was a shared HA one, which was admittedly in a rough area, known for drug dealing issues.
When I/we lived there Pil never stepped foot in the flat (which was actually pretty nice despite the exterior) and instead would go to a pub/cafe in town with us. Sometimes they would offer to pick us up - but would only ever ring the buzzer and wait outside.
We have since moved and live in a lovely 2 up 2 down terrace. We private tent now, but we live on an estate where it is mostly council or HA. I won't pretend our street is perfect; we have issues with graffiti (ive actually seen our neghbours spray painting the street),police visits are not infrequent, and there are often neghbours in the front gardens drinking, with children running up and down the street.
Whenever my Pil visit they comment on these things and frequently ask when we will be moving (we have no plans to move!). They also hate parking on our street and insist on going out every half hour or so to check on their car to make sure it's ok.
I love our home, and so does my DP. Are theu being unreasonable to make the comments they do, given the problems the street has (and aldi the car checking) or am I being too sensitive?? I want to tell them to pack it in, but I hate confrontation!
