Would you move in next door but one to your inlaws?

[greybluehumpbackwhale]

Just that, really.

Nope. Nor would I expect DH the move next to his 😊

No. My inlaws are nice people but yhat sounds like hell.

No. Not would I move so close to my own parents.

I live next door to mine. It's great, but we've always got on well.

Yes. My mother lives next door to us. But we aren't in each other's space all the time.

I absolutely loved my in-laws. But I'd still rather live in the next but one street rather than the next but one house.

(I actually lived 2.5 hours away)

Have a relative who moved that close to in-laws (not parents in law but in laws same generation as them) and it’s worked well for them. It wouldn’t be for me!

I have friends who have just done this.

For me it would be my absolute worst nightmare. I wouldn’t even live next door to my own mum. For them, culturally it’s very much the done thing and they love the idea of mum/MIL popping over with food or to do their washing.

Guess it depends which side you sit on

Definitely not. I wouldn’t want to live that close to any of my family though.

Fuck no.

When I was married, yes, got on v well with MIL and would be handy to have a quick babysitter on hand

Would I fuck.

No. Also wouldn't want to live that close to my own parents.

No. When we were first married we lived 2 streets away from the PiLs.
Never a moments peace. Expected to be able to walk in whenever they liked, sulked if we went out or away without asking them to go too, constantly nosy.
And I liked them both, but it was too much.

My parents and maternal grandparents live on the same street.

It helped with childcare growing up, and has fostered a really close relationship between us.

I hope to move close to my parents once I start a family.

But then we all get on really well and have boundaries.

It wouldn't bother me if there was certain boundaries in place, no knocking between 9pm/9am.

Nope!

I do live in very close proximity to mine.
We do get on - but they overstep boundaries, literally!

I know someone else who does too and she says it's the worst thing she ever did.

No

No way.

NO.

Absolutely. My mil is probably the best woman I've ever known.

My mother OTOH - no bloody chance.

I live near mine ( I see their front door every time I step out if mine) .
It's never been an issue until now me and their son are divorcing at the moment it's ok but I don't know for how much longer .

Never in a million zillion years.

No and I like my MIL.
