[quote=Anonymous]Re: the rules...maybe it would make sense to all sit down and have a discussion about expectations together. I lived with my ILs for nine months while DH was away and there weren't any "house rules" other than to let them know if I was going to be late from work (not ten min, but outside the norm) so they didn't worry. Other than that I followed MILs cues about keeping a super-organized house (I'm usually a slob) and trying to be helpful. But if there are some things that have the potential to bother you (cleanliness and finances are usually the big ones) definitely discuss up front. I wouldn't say "these are the house rules" to FIL, but discuss both parties' expectations and come to a reasonable consensus. Depending on BIL's age and temperament he can either be part of the discussion or be given a list of rules.[/quote]
