[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.

My ILs retired and moved up from Florida to be near the grand kids. Once we ran the numbers on their retirement savings, it became clear that they would not be able to live independently in the DC area for an extended period of time.

We opted instead to build an addition - a separate but attached in-law suite. Things have been going generally well so far - it's been a year. But my ILs are still young (mid-60s) and do not have mobility/mental issues so that's a plus. [/quote]

are the inlaws all around the main house?

has it affected your relationships with spouse and kids?[/quote]

Yes, the ILs come into the main house. They have a kitchenette but we all eat dinner together. They also help out with the ES-aged kids - my FIL is an assistant soccer coach (former PE teacher) to one of my son's teams, and my MIL does a lot of chauffering and laundry for us. :) Both DH and I work - I work out of the house, while DH has a home office but works for a large international company.
