I don't think that my in-laws have accepted the fact that we have moved out.

I have lived with my in-laws for five years once. This was when I was, and when I was not married to their son. Then, I moved into their home last year, but it was only for four months. As I look back at my past life, I have noticed that I can feel a drift of some sort. It is coming from both of my in-laws. My mother and father-in-law both. They have not accepted the fact that we have moved into our own place. My mother-in-law tends to call me asking me what I am doing in my apartment. She wants to know exactly what I am doing, and when I don't tell her she will ask again. Why is she so concerned about what I am always doing? My in-laws are so used to us being in their home. You see my father-in-law, leaves my mother-in-law at home all of the time when he goes out to work. She is so bored and lonely. When I used to live with them, she wanted so much of my time. I was unable to give her that time, because I wanted to be alone. I did not want to spend all of my time talking to her. I did not understand why her husband could not spend time talking to her. He was so happy knowing that someone was at the house with her. He even used to drop her off to a few friends houses. And she would be there for hours. He even tried to pull this mess on us, and my husband told her that her husband has to do better than this. He left her at our home for almost eight hours one time. I came back home to find my mother-in-law sitting on my couch just doing nothing. I was mad because I was not expecting her to be there. I had no idea that she was going to be here at my home. I don't know why my father-in-law is trying to throw his wife on other people. People sometimes don't have time to just hang out with her all of the time. Sometimes people have other personal things that they have to do. I really believe that my in-laws have not accepted the fact that we are responsible adults that desire a life of our own. They are so used to us being in their house. My father-in-law feels so confident that there is always someone that is at home with his wife. Right now, my brother-in-law stays with them. I remember my mother-in-law telling me that her son said that he wanted his own place. And she then told me that he should not get his own place because he should stay at home with her to keep her company. My brother-in-law is about 36 years old. He is not married nor does he have any kids. But he still desires his privacy, I am sure. Sometimes, he will go outside and talk to girls on his cell phone. My mother-in-law is not sick. She is just bored, sick. Why is my father-in-law expecting others to take care of his wife and keep her company?? Why can't he talk to her and spend time with her sometimes. He treats her like she is a stranger.
