[quote=Anonymous]If a single parent is living in the "in-law" suite, how does it work? Do they eat dinner with you every night? How much family time can you really get without the parent being there, too? My FIL may move in with us, and it seems such a drastic change to have him around all the time. I care about him, so I would feel weird and bad ever having dinner upstairs, for example, while he eats by himself in the basement. He's social, so he would like to eat with us. Or I'd feel weird having a dinner party while he was in the basement, but I don't really want to have to include him when I have friends or acquaintances over for a social occasion like a dinner party. Just generally interested in hearing about how to balance desire for space and desire to make a parent feel welcome and included (just not ALWAYS included!). What works, what doesn't. TIA. [/quote]
