[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP! I'm worried that your MIL would move WITH you!

DH has a cousin who moved 500 miles away from his parents with his wife and young children.  His parents decided that they wanted to be closer to the grandkids, so they ended up making the big move and bought a house in cousin's town.  Nightmare.  [/quote]

I worry about that too.  My MIL has no real anchors in her life except for her 2 kids, and she has made financial decisions to ensure that that her kids are both within a 5 mile radius of her.  (She offered to help us with the down payment of our house if we bought near her, which I now obviously complete regret and don't need a lecture about because it haunts me and we won't take another penny from her ever again, and she also offered to pay my DH's sibling rent, which is still going on.)  She has very few friends, she has no family here, and she constantly bashes her family in other states so I know she'll never consider moving near any of them.  She doesn't go to church or anything like that.

The good news is that my husband also gets incredibly frustrated by her, even in short doses.  But yeah, I definitely worry about her "announcing" that she'll be moving to wherever we are.  I know she's not going away anytime soon because her parents, both in their 90's are still alive.  :cry:

We wouldn't move because of her, but she would certainly be a factor if we do.  For me, at least.[/quote]
