[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, to be fair, you said you weren't hurting for money in your original post. Now that greed has got the better of you, you say you're scraping by on your meager six-figure salary. Okay. I'm sure the savings will be worth it. Enjoy that dog hair and drool, being cooped up in your bedroom with your baby, and cooking at 11PM when your MIL's not in her kitchen, and do realize your in-laws and husband will definitely be assuming that you'll one day be living all together on a permanent basis.

We are not scraping by now because we have yet to move to Palo Alto. The housing market in the SF area is so ridiculously expensive that I almost think some of these apartment and home prices are a joke.  Our money is definitely not going to go as far there.  I am not sure why you feel the need to be a jerk, but enjoy your day anyway.[/quote]

Considering that this is a DC-area forum, we do grasp the implications of high cost-of-living areas. Many of us live on much less than you, and have lived in other more expensive parts of the world, too. I'm sorry if I came across as a jerk, but I was reiterating the things you were legitimately concerned about in living with your in-laws. I've survived dealing with a husband and in-laws who were determined to move in together, and earlier in the thread I and others gave you kind and sensible advice. You do sound like a particular and difficult person to live with, as others have pointed out. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you're aware you're this way. You're going to spend all your time at your in-laws being angry and annoyed about everything, and it will negatively affect everyone in a permanent way. [/quote]
