[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 747399, member: 4152"] I suppose what is on my mind is : 1. Her parents who have money problems gave them a deposit for a home and at the same time orchestrated a house purchase five minutes from them. It was very manipulative. No one realized just how manipulative it was at the time. Not sure, but we think they had to pay some of that back due to how badly her parents were doing financially. Perhaps more interesting is that they did this because manipulating the couple was more important to them than their own financial security. 2. As I e mentioned before, our daughter in law has an unhealthy attachment to her parents. They also tend to manipulate her. They are ok with the move. This is most unusual. We wonder if there is some strange reason for this as it doesn’t add up. One creepy possibility is that we’ve gotten very close to one of our grandchildren. They know the kids are already complaining about the 25 minute drive. Maybe they figure a 40 minute drive (worse on high traffic days) would likely mean the kids could RARELY visit us in the future. Her parents, sadly, are creepy competitive and jealous. Our son is only very recently beginning to see it and verbalize it. 3. I can’t buy their affection or loyalty. Nor do I think I want to. I get this. 4. A nice housewarming present would be good. Seriously considering this. :) [/QUOTE]
