[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holy shit, your husband is a jackass for setting you up like this.[/quote]

[b]He didn’t know either that they would be extending their time in the home [/b]- but he doesn’t care either way. He’s happy to live with his parents and support them in whatever they need. Although, I should add they have a SECOND home that’s in a rural area. IMHO - they made bad choices. They chose to refinance every year and has this big plan to move out to the country despite the fact that my MIL is seriously ill and has her entire medical team in town. There’s medical equipment everywhere in the house. My husband wants to rip up the 40+ year old carpet and my SIL’s kids often come over to stay the night. There’s just no peace anywhere - [b]it’s still the family hub[/b][b]. [/quote]

Oh, dear.  Of course he did.  [/quote]

You said in your original post that you ILs really wanted you and your husband to buy their home. It sounds like they didn't have enough money to keep their home but that they want their cake and eat it too--continue living in their home without having to pay for it and preserve it as the "family hub" where they can continue to host your SIL's kids and carry on as normal--indefinetly while continuing to profess interest in moving to their second home.

I have hosted several relatives (my own and my DH's) recovering from a health problem from periods ranging from 2 weeks to 2 months. I have gladly done it, but it is stressful since their needs (food, doctor's visits, etc) tend to dominate and add extra work to the household (usually shouldered by me since I am at home during the day). You won't just be a "roommate" as you said in an earlier post--you may very well become a caretaker too. How many children do you have?[/quote]
