| Will You Let Your Mother In-law Live With The Family? by SeanT21(f): 8:09pm On Apr 30, 2009 |
A friend and I saw a Nigerian film recently named "Caught In The Act" and we got into a heated debate. In the film the mother of Genevieve husband shares the house with them. My friend said that she opposes the idea of her mother in law staying with the family. I told her that it depends on what kind of person the mother in law is.If she is a nice and respectful lady then she is welcome to stay there as long as she please.If she is the absolute opposite then it will not be a good idea. Will U let your mother in Law live with the family?? Why??? Thanks!! |

there is notthing wrong in mother in law living with there children, but there is alot wrog if such mother in law choose to interfere in the domestic issues. I have seem the beaty and ugly side of this arrangement and i can say that much depends, actually on the ocuples, and not the mother in laws, |

Make sure there is some distance between her bedroom and the couples, else she will be hearing some 'blue film' noises in her room. |

It depends. If she has only one child and she is very elderly then she definitely has to live with her child. We don't put our parents in nursng homes. If she is not too old she needs to respect herself and even be the one asking to leave after 1 month. The other thing I will say is if you are newly weds then you should have no family livng wth you. The same goes for if you are having marital problems. Sort it out before you bring in a mother in law. Old people have nothing better to do than to be amebos especially in this age where they all have cellphones. They will be the town crier for anything that happens in your house |

I dont care how nice or bad she is, she is not living with me. i need my our space. some of them you cant trust them, they may appear gentle for the first few months then after a while they will start dictating and noticing every little thing you did and didn't do. however, she can only stay with us if she is ill and needs medical attention or for child visit. packing her things and moving in? is a no, no for me |

If she is indeed nice, no worries. But i must say that i am a very private person when it comes to my man and family. So its almost impossible to do things in the open when she is around. Most discussions will have to be in the room of when she is not there.  |

chikito1: This will be hard because most african mother-in-laws love being in their kids affairs. |

I'm not sure I'll be comfortable with it. . .  |
| Re: Will You Let Your Mother In-law Live With The Family? by Nobody: 4:38pm On May 09, 2009 |
Re: Will You Let Your Mother In-law Live With The Family? Not as a newlywed. If we live in a big house. If she minds her own business. And if she doesn't cause enmity between me and her son. |
| Re: Will You Let Your Mother In-law Live With The Family? by Secretz(f): 4:40pm On May 09, 2009 |
Nahh am sorry, Even when they seem nice and polite etc, it's all good because you don't live with them and you just see them on occassions, spend hours, or maybe a weekend, but coming to live with us. . . . you will begin to see all the pot holes, not even my own mum. Maybe when babies start arriving, for a little bit, due to some help needed, but after that laterz! |
| Re: Will You Let Your Mother In-law Live With The Family? by FLGators1: 4:45pm On May 09, 2009 |
I, ofcourse, wouldn't be comfy with it, even if she's the most darling Mother-In-Law. Marriage demands privacy from both "outside" sources. But if we're the last resort, then she can stay: *continuing Stillwater's list* 1. IF She doesn't try to cause any controversy between me and her son. 2. IF she Doesn't try to control the house |

Depends on my relationship with the mother in law and her personality. . .if she's the type who's bossy. . .loves to snoop around and cause trouble all day. . . then hell no!!!!! She can come visit. . .but no overstaying and when its time to leave. . .then she's got to leave. . . |

@biina we don't have to feel the same way about our mothers living with us or are you part of my family  What's your stress Piss off!!! |
| Re: Will You Let Your Mother In-law Live With The Family? by Motee(f): 4:41pm On May 19, 2009 |
Some mother-in-laws even avoid coming to the house. Mine will always tell you that she was not brought up that way. If situation like that should arise, i think one should get a separate apartment where she can stay and make things comfortable for her and of cause, the two parties can check on one another. |
| Re: Will You Let Your Mother In-law Live With The Family? by stayhelthy: 11:49pm On May 20, 2009 |
Of course my mother-in-law can live with me and husby. Particularly if she is old. You know, is not african to take her to old peoples home. I just pray she is not the type that would want to control my home, or see me as second-class citizen. Remember you will be a mother-in-land tomorrow. Men have no problem with their in-law living me them. But women they want their mother to stay put and see there mother-in-law as somebody that must not stay longer than one month. I tell you, "we go be mother-in-law" sha. |
| Re: Will You Let Your Mother In-law Live With The Family? by Motee(f): 3:42pm On May 22, 2009 |
hey! some men have problems having their in-law living with them especially those type of in-laws that will not allow them to cheat on their wife and correct their wrongs. |
