Makes you ask the question, how close is too close?
Having your family live nearby is a dream come true for some, but a woman whose in-laws bought the house next door thinks itâs a total nightmare. In aposton the parenting site Mumsnet, she reveals that sheâs actually debating divorcing her husband because sheâs so worried about her âjudgementalâ in-laws being their next door neighbors.
The mom of three explains that her husbandâs parents are having the home renovated and havenât moved in yet, but thatâs not the issue. When her in-laws stop by to check on the build, they also come to visit. She says it âjust disruptsâ her day (because they want company) and that sheâs âtruly dreadingâ their move and their intrusion into her familyâs daily life.
Sheâs concerned theyâll want to have a chat over the fence in the backyard or will see her enjoying a glass of red wine in the garden from their window and will judge her since they donât drink. Her husband, on the other hand, is fine with his parentsâ move and doesnât think theyâll be around much. But wifey? His disagreement is making her resent him and consider splitting with him. She wants to know if sheâs being unreasonable.
- The response? The people are divided. Some joke that she should ârun for the hillsâ or âmove out before they move in.â Others are sympathetic and one says, âI couldnât cope. It would kill me and probably my marriage too.â Another shared practical advice, âLots of bamboo for screening and under no circumstances give them a key.â And one optimistically suggests maybe her husband is right and they wonât be around too much, but âif they are, well, thatâs the time to consider your next step.â
