Mother-in-law demands her son and his New York native wife, who is expecting a baby, move to Virginia after living in NYC for 10 years: 'She said outright it’s only fair that we move to Virginia now.'

This Queen-born woman made it clear that she wouldn't live anywhere but New York long before she and her husband got married. 

If you're not from a big city, you might think of big cities as places that someone lives for a couple of years in their 20s for career reasons, but quickly abandons in favor of more affordable and "safer" areas in the suburbs as they get married and start their families. While that is the lived experience of many people, it fails to account for the vast majority who live in major cities that aren't college towns. No matter what the local news says, the vast majority of city dwellers are normal people who have relationships, get married, and raise families in the city where they live. They might not have as much space or disposable income as people in exburbs, but they reap the benefits of community, good transit, and culture that come with urban living. 

Living in New York, Chicago, or Philadelphia isn't for everybody, but if someone has lived in those places their entire lives, it's going to be very hard to convince them that their life there is actually horrible and they'd be much better off living in the suburbs of a place they've never lived.
