[quote=Anonymous]Everything you mentioned sounds like normal inconvenience when you live with other people. Think of it this way: they are willing to host you and make accommodations for you. That is a huge gesture and you have awesome family.

1. You don't like the house? No worries, you aren't staying there long.

2. Adult relative who smokes and steals. Is this person related to your spouse? Let him talk to her.

3. Drooling untrained dog. You can have a rule the dog is not allowed in your bedroom. And living there, you'll also help out cleaning so the hair and the nastiness is something you can control.

4. Cooking. Create a weekly schedule of who is making dinner.

5. Far away. Sucks but is temporary. Besides you may need a weekend away. Could be a good thing.

6. Walking. My neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks but the traffic is slow. I never had a problem. Are they on a busy street?

7. Trial run. You are speculating that it would be awful when you haven't tried it yet. You could factor this into your house hunting. Look for a basement in-law apartment.

I think you are making this worse than it has to be. Your family sounds like great generous people.[/quote]
