[quote=Anonymous]Here's my dilemma: we sort of live near both families, although much closer to my ILs (40 min) vs my parents (3.5 hrs by car). MIL makes my life pure hell, and pretty much ruins our relationship with DH. She loves DC as do the rest of ILs, no issues here. I am cordial with the rest of ILs. My family also adores DC, they have a good relationship with us, but can't visit as often as ILs.

Now, DH has a job offer across country and I maybe able to find there job as well. Being away from MIL would make things better between us, I would be able to quit therapy and meds and maybe we'd have enough courage to have another child. However, I am hesitant to move DC away from both sets of grandparents, who clearly love her and whom she loves.

As to the helping part that many here say is a perk: I refuse to accept "help" from the MIL as she always makes about me being a horrible mother and parent, and basically says that DH and DC  would be better with her instead of me. DH insists I let her babysit whenever she wants, because she loves DC. My family sometimes come down to babysit when I am sick or need to travel, so they do help. We can't move near my family as they pretty much live in the country, no jobs for us there.

Wwyd? Would you move?[/quote]
