[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you need the money?   I would assume your husband has an equal trust fund.   I would give her six more months and encourage her to get an apartment nearby so you can see her often.   If you think she will be helpful with the baby and you want her to stay, you could ask her to pay a few bills like the water, electric, etc.  Instead of asking for rent.  I do not think it is unreasonable for her to pitch in more both in terms of the house and financially but I would prefer her to get a part time job or get in a class or something to start allowing her to have a better life.  Pick your battles.  [/quote]

That's smart. Thanks, I'll bring that up, as I think it's a good plan for everyone involved. I'll offer to help find her a class or internship or something, and then ask if she can maybe chip in for a cheap roof repair we're doing next month. [/quote]

I would not ask for a roof repair.  If you were a landlord, that is your responsibility.  If you are roommates, shared expenses would be more like utilities and food.  [/quote]
