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

Just that, really.

No. Same goes for my parents, who I loved and got on well with.

No. I can't imagine anything worse.

No.

Yes I would have done and dh and I looked at getting the house opposite the street from MIL and FIL. Didnt work out.

Absolutely adored MIL and still miss her and think of her daily she passed 3 years ago.

My parents

NO WAY

No. But I know people whose in-laws have bought houses very close to them with no pre-discussion. My in-laws looked at one very close to us. My face soon put them off that idea.

No never. I certainly wouldn't live that close to my own parents either.

@RatsolutelyFabulous

I’d honestly rather trap my tits in the car door. Not a fucking chance!

Fabulous. Really getting your depth of feeling there 😂

For the record, I am with you

Hell no. They are an hour and a bit away and I like it. My husband would feel obliged to see them every day. I like them but the only people I can cope with seeing that much are my husband and children, even then I need a break sometimes.

Yep and I’d absolutely love it!
I’d happily live next door to my own mum as well. It’s probably because I’ve lived hundreds of miles from them since I moved out at 18 and only see them a couple times a year (or not at all the past year 😭)

No and wouldn't want to live that close to my own parents either

No, too close.

No. Too judgemental old fashioned and I would have no privacy or space. Also mil rings me to ask if dh got to work safely and returned yet I do the same journey and don't get that concern. Not that I want it but they are not important to me in the way they are to each other.

Yeah I probably would tbh. They’re the most low key, laid back people ever and they absolutely wouldn’t be knocking unannounced. I haven’t been able to visit since well before Christmas, and I’d love to be on the sofa in my PJs watching some shit film while my DP’s mum makes a roast

Yes. Then I could look for a job

I would. Love my in laws and they have a lovely relationship with our children plus MiL has firm ideas about boundaries and not interfering. We would probably have to keep inviting her round because she would worry about imposing!

Would rather slam my tits in a drawer.

I would have done. My late MIL had a busy independent life and was not an interferer. I wouldn’t want to be that close to my own mum though.

No.

I mean I love them. They are lovely, wonderful people but...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!

No. Not to any member of my family or dh's family!

If that were to happen I'd probably best get myself sectioned in advance since it would drive me insane.
My mother in law is evil.

No way, in fact I don't think I'd want to love that close to any of my family members and we are a really close family.

Never!

At least 5 miles away.

I would die

I grew up as the child in this situation.

It was fucking horrific and the issues stemming from it have permanently scarred me. We no longer speak to an entire branch of my family due to the perceived injustice around elderly care between siblings (my parent and their 3 siblings), they were cut off before I knew them, I was too young. My mum was the instigator of this stupid idea due to some unrealistic rose tinted assumptions, and it ruined her relationship with them too - what was an involved grandparent became suffocating and financially my parents couldn't ever afford to move further out again, because that's where the care needs started. There was a lot of resentment, missed opportunities and simmering frustrations towards the end when I moved away as a teen myself, eager to flee the nest too soon.

The very idea of my parents or in laws moving next door is literally the stuff of my nightmares.

I love mine, but never. A few streets between all family for me!
