FIL moving closer update

[wanderlustmom]

Oh no, I'm just finding this thread. Also surprised so many posters would be breezy no big deal about it. I wouldn't want any of our parents in our neighborhood or any of our siblings or even close friends. I agree with others who said it's about privacy. I don't even want to make any of our neighbors our close friends. Your DH did a great job trying and I hate that your FIL didn't listen. You have such a good attitude about it. I would be so hurt and angry too.

Oh no.

I get along fine with my mother in law and she would never stop by uninvited but I still would have a big problem with her being right across the street. Right now we see her about every other week and I don't want to increase that tenfold by being within each other's sight lines. She would also probably get her feelings hurt if we continued to invite people over as we normally do and she was sitting at home watching.
