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.
