[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds miserable and unsustainable. You can’t really plan for your daughter. She and her future husband might want to live somewhere else. This is a family home on DH  side? No mortgage? [/quote]

+1, you honestly cannot predict where your daughters going to be in 15 or 20 years. It’s not realistic to keep this house for her.[/quote]

It’s insanely toxic. What happens when daughter is 30 and wants to live somewhere else and refuses the house? [/quote]

I grew up in a beautiful house in an amazing Southern California city that is about as desirable as a location could possibly be. My parents bought the house for $100,000 and it was worth over $1 million by the time I graduated from college 18 years later. The house was fully paid off by that point as well. But now I live on the east coast, and it would have been really stupid for my parents to "save" the house for me and future potential family. Many people go to college outside the area where they grew up and don't return home. It would make sense to hang on to a vacation house in case your kids wanted it, but a primary household is just silly. Also, I'm sure you love your house and all, but generally speaking they're a dime a dozen, and you only bought it a few years ago so it's not like she is particularly tied to it. You are, and you need to let that go. I would resent my parents for keeping an unhealthy living dynamic all to save me a house I didn't want. [/quote]
