[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Count your blessings.  My MIL lives five minutes away. [/quote]

My MIL stressed me out LESS when we lived 20 minutes away from them. Lunch for an hour or two was manageable. Multi day weekend visits and the scheduling it involves is actually worse. Not playing the one-upping game, but there are pros and cons to both. I bet your 5 minute away MIL never sleeps over.[/quote]
It's different for us - seeing my MIL for a week a year is MUCH easier on me than not seeing her only 1 week a year. And yes, she sleeps over sometimes.[/quote]

Wait until she gets older and DH is taking phone calls from her every day.  My DH is over at his mom's right now for the third time dealing with her AV problems. Last week it was one of their cars. [/quote]

OP here.  She calls daily to speak with DH.  She NEVER asks to speak to her grandkids.  She refers to them as "the babies".  They are 6 and 9.  My DS called her on it once.[/quote]
