      Yup, very true. But i feel it's essential to still stay nearby cos good to inculcate strong family bonds to our children.

      Sorry I can't bring myself to stay near in-laws as their values aren't very good. I had a tough time in first few years after marriage - issues like hygiene and wrong mindset.

            I am very particular about hygiene. That was the hardest part.

            same here! It seems my mil's family has v different hygiene standards from my family, and its evident that the bad habits have been passed to her 2 sons. This was also the reason she kicked me out of her house when we visited her in the US when dd was 10 months old. Hygiene was especially important for small babies and it's not something I was ready to compromise. My relationship with mil was never good in the first place and this was like the last straw.

                  Tell you something which may make you puke. BIL wears underwear SIDE A and SIDE B. If he doesn't go out, he can lie on the sofa/bed and not bathe. :?:


                  My hubby knows I'm particular about sticky and dusty floor. Toilets must be washed daily and personal hygiene has to be observed.
