My husband and I filed for my parents in law to live with us 1 and half year ago. My husband grew up poor but eventually made it out of Nigeria for school. I grew up in NYC, left Nigeria when I was 11, I'm now in my early 40s. My husband is exposed and mostly forward thinking. His parents are not. I am having a lot of mini clashes with his mother. We are very different obviously, and she's not mean or anything, but more passive-aggressive. Like if something bothers her, she wouldn't say it, but expresses it in her face. She's helpful with our children, but I feel a slight resentment from her. I asked my husband if we should give her stipends (pay her) for watching the kids while I work, he said no, that we provide all she needs. (I work from home, she watches our youngest, and pick up the older ones from school not too far from our house). But so far I feel a slight tension, and it's not easy living with another woman in the same house, even though I appreciate all her help, it just feel like it comes at a cost.
