[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL has been saying she wants to move to DC (from Florida) for about 5 years.  She lives alone, DH is an only child, she doesn't work, and really has no reason to be in Florida.  The biggest issue for her moving here is cost - both the cost to buy something in DC and the cost of living.  She's on a fixed income from an inheritance that isn't a lot of money.  We don't have enough money to support her move here (we can help out a bit here and there).  She has started ramping up the move to DC discussions recently and I think she's looking to sell her house in florida and actually pull the trigger.  Aside from the financial disaster that I think this will be, i'm worried she has unrealistic expectations about how much she will see us.  My husband works A LOT.  We already have dinner once a week with my family and i'm sure we will do a once a week dinner with her, but beyond that I'm just not sure what she will do all day?  Does anyone have any advice on how to talk through this with DH?  His view - as far as I can tell - is that she's alone a lot in Florida, so it wont be that different for her here.  I don't hate my MIL, but i'm not going to see her more than once a week. [/quote]

I would advise you to take a look at the MIL moving five minutes from me thread...[/quote]
