[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two sons and when they marry, I am moving as far away as possible.  I will not meddle in their lives but I also will not babysit, clean their house, cook, do their laundry.  If I am invited to visit, I will stay in a hotel and if they visit us, I will pay for them to stay in a hotel.  We will eat all meals out so they can choose what they wish.  DCUM has taught me that a MIL is either an ogre or a doormat.  I would rather be an ogre than a dormat.

I have two sons also.  I hope to live close to them and I hope to spend time with any future grand kids - reading to them, taking them on little outings, baking cookies, etc (God willing).  I'm not going to clean their house, do their laundry or cook their meals. I will not drop by their homes without asking in advance if it's a good time.  I would love to be taken out to restaurants sometimes but I'll enjoy cooking for them on occasion and I hope that they'll do the same for me.  I would love to have them stay over at my house on their vacations/holidays but I don't want them living with me (or vice versa) and I would imagine that they'll feel the same way.[/quote]
