Looking at possible move to Midland
My DH is looking at a job in Midland, so I am trying to investigate the scene to see if I can find SOMETHING to make me happy about that prospect. We are from Michigan (Detroit area), and until recently, I have been desperate to move back to be with my family again. However, now that I have a child, I feel a stronger need to protect her from my MIL by living 600 miles from Michigan

. So I am wondering if anyone can tell me great things about Midland that may allay some of my terror at the thought of having my MIL meddling in our lives . . . . MY DH is willing to set rules, including no more than 5 visits per year (they live ni Flint) and no babysitting ever (MIL is verbally abusive, and possibly physically abusive).
TIA
