Woman threatens to kick mother-in-law out of her house after MIL keeps meddling in private family decisions: ‘I refuse to let my home life be dictated by her’

As someone who is almost half a decade into her marriage, I have much advice for young couples who are just starting out. I have learned a lot over those five years, but the one piece of advice I want to share here today is this–Never, and I mean ever, agree to a situation in which you live with your in-laws. There is not a single benefit to living with your in-laws, nothing good can come out of it, and even if you feel you have no other choice, believe me, anything is better than that.

I am, of course, talking from experience. When my husband and I just got married, we were a young couple without any money, and we thought it would be a good idea to save money by living in my in-laws' basement unit. 

It was the worst year of our marriage.  

Not to say my in-laws were the only ones at fault there, but they definitely did not help. Since we were essentially living with them, they kept interfering with every single aspect of our lives, and they didn't stop until we eventually moved out. It drove me absolutely crazy.
