Probably not because I would feel that's just too close and that she may interfere in the or spy on us haha, however, I did actually live in that type of situation where my mother-in-law lived right next door and she was the greatest. We were very close.
My mother-in-law did live next door to me and I loved it. She was more of a mother to me than my own mother and I loved her very much. She treated me good. It takes two to make things work. It was not a chore loving her at all. She did love me and she was a great Christian lady. It takes both parties to treat each other lovingly and with respect. And if there's problems then you talk them out you don't hold them in and gossip about the other person. You go to that person and work it out so you can both be happy.
@Gangstress Free cakes would be nice but free unsolicited advice wouldn't!

My mother-in-law has passed away but she was a wonderful person and if our family had lived next door to her and my father-in-law it would have been sweet.
Maybe. It would be easier when we help her or she helps us that it's just the next door. But it can become overwhelming if we would see her too much too. We have 15 minutes bus ride to her now and then a 10 minute walk. I think it works great so far.
@Blondily his wife is the only child and the MIL is not in good health plus I think she financed part of their build...it is kind of complicated. but yes she gives the kids candy all the time.
@Blondily she didn't like me and she knew she was dying so she had no incentive to even try to be polite...did it for my wife otherwise I might have taken her out LOL
@Blondily it was , especially since she has several kids, and 2 which live less than a mile from them. I can't work so I'm home a lot. Therefore they took it upon themselves to designate me as there go to person if they needed anything. Saying that their kids work and they don't want to bother them. So I should help them. They died a few years ago and though I miss them I am also relieved.
@Blondily We'v always been in different states, currently a 1000+ miles apart. They are retired and feel free to come for a week at a clip a couple times a year 🙄 .
Actually yes. She speaks Chinese dialect so I have no idea what she says, I go by her body language and she understands some English because she says thank you and ok. I love it when she visits us 👍🙂. Pretty damn good cook too.
