How do I tell my parents I'd rather burn to death slowly than live accross the street from them?

Question

They keep telling us about this really nice house accross the street from them that's for sale...

Answer 1

You could try saying " the kids might get hurt. It would be so hard to keep them from running in the street. You know how much they love G-ma & G-pa ." Tell them your in-laws are thinking of moving in with you.

Answer 2

Just say: I'd rather burn to death slowly than live across the street from you (!)

Answer 3

Buy them the Everybody Loves Raymond box set.

Answer 4

I imagine it would *be* like a slow burning death. Tell them it's haunted. Or the plumbing is bad. Something, anything!

Answer 5

just tell them that you do not want to live accross from them, just do not tell them in those words.

Answer 6

I live directly behind my mother, I wish I didn't. It is so hard living beside family, they tend to want to tell you how to live and they love watching you. Tell her that your just not interested right now.

Answer 7

You said us. Just tell them you both prefer another area that is neutral for the both of you. Easier access to both your jobs etc.

Answer 8

Mmmmmmmmmmmm,slow roasted..........
Just make them watch "Everybody Loves Raymond"maybe they`ll get the hint.

Answer 9

tell them you cant afford it or make up a lie like my house is closer to work or something you shouldn't disappoint people just tell a lie and really i wouldn't recommend telling something like that to your parents of all people
