[quote=Anonymous]OP, really? I don't think you've thought this through. Moving will only escalate her cause(s) for complaints. I think you just learn how to handle her better as in not take it so seriously. Because you won't change her. You can only change the way you respond to her. So when she complains that it has been "forever" since she's seen the kids, just smile and say, "well, we're certainly glad you're here now!" and walk away. And, yes, I had a difficult MIL (she is deceased now). Frankly, she makes your MIL sound like an angel. But she loved her son and she loved our kids so I went along to get along. I don't think she ever had any idea how I felt about her, and neither did/does her son (my husband). As long as she isn't physically or emotionally abusing anyone then I think you adapt, adapt, adapt. Life is too short to give her so much control over you. Take it back.[/quote]
