[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless my DH and I are swinging from the ceiling, I'd just have an open door policy.  Just make sure she understands that you can't stop (whatever) when visitors show up.  Have her take your kids for a walk or to the park or whatever.[/quote]

Why have separate houses at all if your front door is a revolving door for your parents?  If you are that compatible and if you feel no need to have your own personal space and privacy, why not just live with your parents?  Seriously, you all could save a ton of money by living together.[/quote]
Why attack her? You don’t have to want or like that arrangement for yourself, but why be so unkind?

I had a similar open door to the grandparents, great grandparents, great uncles/aunts, and various cousins. It was wonderful for me, for them, and for my older children. Now my caboose kid lost all of those wonderful people by kindergarten and only has a few far away senior family members. Really only one to engage with. I miss those days and I am sad my youngest doesn’t have that special bond.

We all have different experiences and different wants. Some people need more privacy. It’s fine. We don’t have to attack one another [/quote]
