Default Re: Moving in with my son

I know you said how you are helping them out. How is moving in with them helping you out? (besides getting good, quality family time)

I think it is very admirable that you are willing to move in with your son in order to help them out. I would suggest setting up very clearly what expectations are (as far as what you do vs. what they do, discipline with the children, meals, etc) Are you considered a guest? Or, are you considered part of the family that pulls her own weight?

I love my mother-in-law, but it would be tough to suddenly share a household with her. Just be honest with your daughter-in-law and see how she envisions this going.
