I moved 300 km away. Life is much easier with a buffer zone.
PMSL!

Mine lives in a different state and I'm SO grateful for that!! She's painful enough when we do see them once or twice a year. I've know her 12 years now and I tend to stand up for myself with her now and just let her know when I don't agree with what she's saying or suggesting. She was very overbearing when I was pregnant with DD1 and even more so once she was born but she's taken a step back with DD2 and I think I have my two SILs to thank for that, lol. But letting her know I wasn't a pushover has certainly helped.

Any major issues I handball to DH. I don't want to be the painful DIL and I don't want to get in the way of their relationship either so there are some things better left for DH. She drives him batty most of the time so he generally sees things my way though.
