[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should all have a heart to heart before moving in about how this is going to be, *after* your husband has talked to her and feels that honestly, she is on board in terms of respecting you going forward.[/quote] This needs to be a conversation between the husband, wife and MIL where the husband lists the conditions for staying in their home, and MIL agrees to them in the presence of the DIL. For example, "No racist comments, especially the ones with the N-word", or "No comments on DIL's clothing". Even then, I would not be optimistic. MIL will have a million opportunities for manipulation and inserting a wedge between the husband and wife... how about accusing DIL of abuse? claiming she is not feeding the poor old lady? Don't do it, OP. Past history with this family excuses you of any obligation. If you still have to do it - be prepared and protect yourself.[/quote]
