DH has a great relationship with his parents, and I also get on really well with them. They're lovely people who have been very generous to us in lots of ways. We live 40 minutes from them, and see them every two to three weeks, depending (they go on a lot of holidays). DH is an only child and I'm seven months pregnant with our first child. We saw them today and MIL started chatting to me about them thinking about moving into a more suitable home as they get older. I asked whether they'd want to stay in the same small town as currently. She said 'Well, we'd always said we'd move to [literally the other end of England] but it's different now because...' I nod, expecting comment about prospective grandchild 'we have our walking club. I'd be sad to move away from that. We don't have any other ties keeping us in the area, but we really want to stay within easy reach of that'. Now, I'm pleased they have their own lives - we wouldn't want to be the centre of their universe - but AIBU to be a bit insulted by this?! No ties at all?!
In case not clear - am more amused than genuinely insulted, and definitely not considering doing anything to wreck our excellent relationship over one weird comment - but it was a really weird comment, right?!
