[quote=Anonymous]We did this in the spring and it was fine overall. The biggest annoyance was just living in someone else’s home and having two extra people around 24/7. Overall it was helpful to have an extra set of hands, and they have a phenomenal backyard and live near a beach so we were really happy to have the outdoors. Here is my advice:

- since they offered to help with childcare and schooling find out what that means to them. My ILs offered the same but my MIL, who still works, was also on Zoom meetings on and off throughout the day so she was only available to help when she wasn’t working. FIL is not so helpful, but was good with homework which was a pleasant surprise. At the end of the day it felt like they were only really helping out for an hour or so each day.

- make sure you are on the same page about Covid precautions. My in-laws GI to friends’ houses for dinner regularly since “they are all being safe.” I swear FIL went to the grocery store to escape every other day.[/quote]
