Dont move in with your spouse's parents

It will totally suck, isnt good. It will only seperate you.

 

That's just common sense.

 

Hmm.. not with us. We lived with ours for 2 months. They wanted us to stay longer. Free rent, but out of respect and dignity for us, we Moved out. Of course My mom would be different. ugg.

 

I wouldn't ever recommend it, but it does not always mean an end to the relationship. My mother lived with us the first few years of our marriage. She had nowhere else to go, and I wasn't going to kick her out on the street. I know it would be totally different situation had we been the ones depending on her for shelter and food....

 

Hey, where is that cartoon avatar from? Looks like something out of Fritz the Cat or some other Bashki film.

 

If you're smart..don't even live in the same town as in-laws

 

it's the cheshire cat from disney's version of alice in wonderland

 

yeah, the whole parental living scene can be a drag, but everyone is different - some parents are pretty hip!

i try to make it a practice not to live with parents in general - mine, or anyone else's

 

I hear that...I live part-time with my fiancé/primary (Bear) and his dad. We got along fine, especially helping each other grieve after Bear's mom died.

Then Bear's dad started dating again. I didn't have an issue with that. I did, however, have an issue with the fact that New Girlfriend (of maybe 4 months) moved in from another state before Thanksgiving with her two grandkids, their ill-tempered dog, and all of their stuff. The kids are 9 and 15, and she has custody of them both because their mother has a drug problem. The kids also have zero discipline and respect for anyone or anything, and only just started school this past Friday, even though they've been here for a month and a half. Her relatives are calling CPS out every so often because they don't feel she's competent (and I don't necessarily disagree), and it's likely only a matter of time before we're dragged into it, because at times we are the only adults present when Dad and Girlfriend leave for most of the day on weekends.

The biggest reason this pisses me off is that at the end of February 2007, Mom will have been dead for only a year.

Bear is quite disturbed by this, and we're trying to get enough money together to move out. He wants to raise hell about it, but the way I see it, it's Dad's house. He can live his life any way he likes, but we don't have to sit there and watch him do it.
