I actually made my husband move us nearly half an hour away a year and a half ago, just because I wanted to create some distance from the inlaws. Then, the opportunity came up to rent their old house (they moved into a new one) and we really couldn't pass it up (two kids and only on one wage!), unfortunately. Now we are closer than ever, about 2 minutes drive! When my daughter was first born, I never saw the end of them, and it frustrated me that we always saw them, every week. At the beginning they were over virtually every night after they finished work! I think we showed my in laws that we weren't too keen seeing them all the time, so now they have backed off a bit. Although, I'm still trying to convince my husband to move us away again, just because I want to start our own lives, away from everyone else, as horrible as that probably sounds!

Unfortunately yes unfortunately I don't have my mil in my life she is divorced from my fil and well I couldn't care if I ever saw him again. But 9 years ago my dh had a falling out with his mum and as nasty as she is I miss not having her in our lives, she is an a class B... but I feel sad for her, my kids and my dh that nothing has been resolved.... she knows we have kids but she has never seen them..... as much as they get on some of our nerves its sad when they are not around to share our lives.

Tell me about it i wish my MIL will just go and move to another country!!! I cant stand the floor she walks on but just have to be nice for the sake of hubby but he knows how i feel. We dont see them often but she still manages to rub me up the wrong way just with her phone calls sometimes. You are not alone. Do visit the group(monster in laws) and tell us how you really feel.
