[quote=Anonymous]Do you both work? As a working parent, I preferred having my often verbally abusive dad help out rather than having no one. He was never physically abusive, just always critical. Two children and a job is just very hard and it only gets harder as they grow older. I realize it's my dad and not a FIL, but I think my husband also enjoyed having him nearby. We lived about 15 minutes away, so we didn't see them more than once a week although they took the kids more. They traveled a lot too. But 10 years after he started getting more verbally abusive than previous years, he died, and now we all miss him. I'm so glad my children got to spend time with him. It is a lot harder now with him gone and I'm glad my mom is nearby to see her often and take care of her. She also takes care of us a lot. I think living together is too much, but I wouldn't cut these people out of your life, especially if you feel a tie to the mom.[/quote]
