Moving in with the in-laws

Moving in with the in-laws

By Miss Kes 

Life can take you to places you never dreamt of, and when there are financial constraints, people are forced to make decisions to help them get by. This includes being in living situations that may not be ideal, but which work for the time being.

What about those who have to live with their in-laws?

Shelly:

I actually live with man and his mother and it is a living hell. The lady is so inquisitive to the point where we cannot have sex on a Saturday because it is her “holy” day. I would tell any woman thinking about doing this to go get a loan and get you and your man your own place.

Kerry:

It is a bad idea and the fastest way to kill a relationship as some mothers have no respect. I couldn’t do it because my mouth light and once someone is crossing the boundaries, I get extremely irate regardless of who you are.

Latoya:

I was living with my man at his grandmother’s and it was the worst decision we made. We had no privacy. She didn’t want us to close the door and all sorts of crazy rules. The lady even walked in on me and my man in the middle of sex and believe you me, I never stopped.

Cindy:

I would never do this. I’d rather sell my bed and pay rent and sleep on the floor knowing it is my space. I have heard too many horror stories about in-laws to go take up myself and move in.

Georgianna:

I have been living with my man and his mother for over a year and I have no complaints. She has respect for our relationship and it is reciprocated. She doesn’t involve herself in our business even when we ask her for her opinion on things. So I am perfectly good with my living situation.
