Re: Being married with korean ONLY son!

My hubby is the oldest son.  I think it really depends on your own personal situation with your PIL. How is your relationship with them now?  Do they like you?  I am really lucky and my PIL love me...they are always bragging about their pretty American daughter-in-law who speaks Korean well ^^ But even so, I was really dreading living with them because I really enjoy being independent, but now I actually find it pretty comfortable because my workload is actually much lower now.  (it's only been a couple weeks, so maybe in a couple months my answer will be different, but so far so good!)  Both my FILand MIL work until about 8 pm, so I am home alone with my son all day.  MIL makes a big pot of soup in the morning, so I eat that and banchan for all 3 meals, meaning I dont have to do any cooking.  All i have to do is do the dishes and vacuum the floor and sometimes hang up some laundry.  Of course living on our own would be the most enjoyable, but living with the inlaws has its own perks too.  If your PIL expect you to cook and do hardcore cleaning and are emotionally abusive or anything like that, then yeah, living with them would suck, but if you have a good relationship with them and have a positive attitude, it's not so bad at all.  I think you should evaluate how they treat you now.  I have never cooked for them before, and whenever they would visit, my MIL would bring tons of food for us to eat, so they dont expect me to start cooking now.  If you have already been told to cook for them on previous visits, then you would probably have to do so if you live together with them.

Good luck with your decision!
