[quote=Anonymous]OP, I tried living with my own parents for 5 months when my daughter arrived and my husband could only be with us for the birth before he went back overseas.  We all had the best of intentions but it was a disaster.  Similar issues:  dogs, fur, untidyness, space and noise issues.  It was hard on my dad.  I was so mad at my mom all the time, it was like being a teen again.

I lasted about a month before I found a $700/month furnished dump that I disinfected and lived in happily with my toddler and newborn until it was time to rejoin my husband.  It was better for everyone.  People could visit me and the newborn without my parents having the stress of hosting random friends and inlaws of mine.  My parents still came over to my little rental every day to spend time with us.  My mom was really hurt though.  Her siblings asked her about it quizzically and it's still brought up as a really strange thing for me to do.  But my mom also told me it was for the best.

A lot of the problem was me, I needed to nest and have a very clean simple environment close to grocery stores, pools (it was summer), activities for my toddler and me to do.  I was mad at my parents all the time for petty reasons and it wasn't fair to them.[/quote]
