[quote=Anonymous]My stepfather recently abandoned my 65 year old mother and left her with nothing. She was able to find a low income apartment in Richmond and has been living there since last year. During all this drama my DH and I had a baby who is now 4 months old and goes to daycare 4x per week.  My mother dislikes her apartment and has offered to contribute $30K of the lump sum pension she will receive next month towards a down payment in exchange for letting her live with us, ideally in an in-law suite. DH and I were planning to buy a house this year, so at first, this seems win-win situation.  She won’t have to live alone and would love to take care of our child while we are at work. However, we are both having real reservations about letting my mother be part of our first time home purchase and daily lives. She’s still young, in good health and having her around would save us a ton of money, but do we want to live with her potentially for the rest of our lives?

Any advice from someone who has gone through something similar?
