[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. She'd be moving in tomorrow no questions asked. She's not going to live forever. The memories my kids have with my parents are priceless (they live with us). But, thankfully my DH loves and respects my parents just as much as I do. [/quote]

How bout DH comes back without you to report how he feels instead of having you speak for him….[/quote]

My memories of my grandmother living with us in high school are not priceless.  They're of my mom being stressed out because she couldn't find good caregivers to watch my grandma during the day while my mom was at work.  They're of me helping my grandma change her diaper, which was embarassing for her.  They're of my family not traveling together anymore because grandma couldn't come and finding overnight care was impossible, so somebody (my mom) had to stay behind or nobody went.

Having fully independent grandparents live with you is a whole different scenario than grandparents who "can't" live alone anymore. [b]It's like having a toddler again, except they can't ever leave the house and finding caregivers is harder.[/b][/quote]

And they’re not very adorable.[/quote]

And full size adults. My mother sustained multiple injuries being a primary caregiver, and it aged her tremendously. [/quote]

I’m sure OP’s mother wouldn’t wish that in her son or DIL.[/quote]
