Neither of us view it like that. It's a mutually beneficial relationship. Wouldn't work if they didn't like being part of the family.

Like I said, we are all easygoing [/quote]

It worked really well for us for the first three-ish months of Covid. Like you, we are all easygoing and they helped a ton with the kids. Then we all sort of mutually wanted our own spaces again, so they went back home to another state. A year later they actually moved over near us and we’ve been very happy with that. They take the kids for the weekend once or twice a month, and usually come over here for a weeknight dinner so DH and I can work late or workout. Personally I think it works best when everyone can have their own independent home to go back to, even if those homes are near each other and you see each other frequently.[/quote]
