If you and your partner + kids have lived with your parents or in-laws for some time and then moved out, how did it work out?

1 Answer

Different attitudes to life don’t mix and it did do some damage that at times I’m not sure whether can be repaired…or has been totally… despite some mending on occasions. Is it a struggle where you are now? Certainly moving out improved the situation and staying there would have been disastrous.
