[quote=Anonymous]HI OP, 
   My parents added an in-law apt to our house when I was 5 so my maternal grandmother could move in.  She had a separate entrance on the deck, a side door she could use that went into the hallway by my room, bathroom, kitchen, living room, and bedroom area.  I guess it was a bit of a studio lay out.  
    First, it really only works if both parents really like the person moving in.  My grandmother thought of my dad as her son, and my dad loved my grandmother.  He watched Red Sox games with her, went in every night to spend time with her, etc.  Even though my grandmother had an in law apt, she joined us for dinner every night, and while she was still able, we had dinner in there (that she cooked) once a week.  Her door was pretty much open all day so she could hear the sounds of my brother and I playing, and so people could come in and out to visit.  
   All of my brother and my friends called my grandmother by the name we called her (Grandmere) because we were always in there saying hi and talking to her.  Honestly, having my grandmother be in the same house as me as an amazing experience growing up, and I'm so fortunate to have the relationship I had with her.  It was only possible because she lived with us.

My grandmother passed away about 7 years ago.  My uncle (mom's brother) now lives in the in-law apt while he goes through a divorce.  [/quote]
