Look you cant expect ppl of ur fil' s age to change, particularly is he has this old view points (thinking less of women) Such ppl can never change.
It seems ur hubby doesnt ve problem with you, then you just do what you think is right. if someone asks abt you not treating ur Fil well, then you tell them you do whatever you can.
PPl always find fault on others, dont let anything bother you if u ve an understanding Hubby..

Since you are staying only 2 km away, I don' t see why you have to go and stay with him.

I think your MIL was a very shrewed lady who knew her husband' s nature and thus wanted to avoid fights and bickerings later on.

When your FIL asks you to come and stay with him, just tell him that its not possible as you are settled in your own home. Your child has made friends near by or his school is nearby and so on.

In addition, why don' t you ask your husband to deal with your FIL? But whatever happens, my sincere advise would be to keep away from this abusive old man.
