DESTRUCKDOZ ,
This is a question of " the relationship between daughter in law and mother in law". In China, we have a saying:" the relation between daughter and mother in law is the most difficult relation to cope with." So it is a good way for them to live under the different eaves.

No matter how close the relation between a daughter in law and mother in law is,  the mother in law will never treat his son's wife(daughter in law) in the way she treats her own daughter. Vice versa. This might be the "narrowness' " or "selfishness" of " blood tie".  It is very possible to trigger domestic conflicts if the bride and her mother in law live under the same roof. Why not give their each freedom to live in separate apparments? Certainly, it is costly to buy an apparment for each.[/quote]
