Have any of you ever lived with your mother in law?

Sure, sure… it’s a rhetorical question, because so many of you have – especially if you have lived in a foreign country. It’s not as common in the States, but here, and I’m assuming in other places less developed and less committed to prodding the kids to leave the “nest,” it happens all the time.

I would venture to say that in this part of town, the MAJORITY of kids grow up and stay in the house. Upon meeting a significant other, they stay in the house! They have kids in the house. They grow old in the house, and they die in that house.

I think it has to be the poverty. I say this because I’ve been struggling with my mother in law, and holy shit — if I had the money I’d be outta here. There are good things and bad things, but sometimes those bad things drive me totally crazy. What can I say? I never even considered that I would be “one of those people” that struggles to live with their in-laws.

But, ALAS, I am. I wonder… would it be the same with my parents? Now that I’m older (approaching 40). Not sure.

That’s all for now…

I’ll post again tomorrow.
