When you get married, do you really want to live with your mother in-law?

I am totally with you.However good my mother in law is I wouldnt want t live with her.They can sometimes affect the decisions you take about your children.yes they may be more experienced but they need to know that times change as well.Their advise can cause alot of tensions among the couple.Dont be surprised if some of the divorces are initiated from there.

Hello, she can be the best mother in Low in the whole World but all young couple have to live alone!!They need parents to help them when they need or ask for help!!You are on good way and stay there!!!Warmest Regards Silvana

oh heck no! I get along with my MIL but I don't want to live with her. I want my privacy.

I don't think i would want to live with my mother in-law either.Even if she is nice I think it is just not really healthy and each of us are used to our own privacy.So I think young couple should live separate.

Mother in laws are perceived to be conflict with daughter in laws. However it depends more on the individual person-conflict arises when people donot graduate from one level to other which is required-after marriage of son, role of mother should change & daughter in law should understand her responsibility. If both are sensible, life can be joy-i see no reason for conflict

I lived in the same house with my future mother in law for 6 months or so and I will never go through that experience again. It might be okay to live with a hands off mother, but I haven't met too many of those.

It really depends. If she is easy to get along with, not too fussy, very patient and gentle, etc, I feel that it's ok for us to live together. In fact I'd even welcome her company anytime and maybe look forward to seeing her everyday. But if she is a difficult person, always complaining, grumbling and very critical, then nope, I'd rather live away from her. Preferably as far away as possible.

I'm gonna buy my own house ... he moves in with me. 'Nuff said. Hahaha.

Yeah i wouldnt want to live with my mother in law when I get married and i think its perfectly normal for girl to want privacy at home and not to have mother in laws interference and meddling and sort of act like like 3s a crowd and stiffle any chance of romance. In our culture its the same an but now may people are starting to realise this is breaking marriages rahter than helping so people are of then living close to their in-laws but not with them...I hope this trend really catches on for my sake! I would agree to live with them if they were really old and needed looking after as then they dont really interfere and if you cant rely on your kids to look after you in your old age its a real shame.
