If for some reason or another your in laws had to move in with you, would you let them? What if your spouse just let them move in without you knowing, how would you feel?

Uh--if 5 people moved into my house without my permission, I would be quickly out the door.

I probably wouldn't let them. I don't have enough room for 9 people in one house. I would do anything to help but short of sitting and sleeping on top of each other it wouldn't work.

I'm quite certain he'd never do it without asking, but if my MIL needed somewhere to live, I'm sure we'd invite her to stay with us, although I don't think she'd do it. She's too independent and not particularly fond of kids, so she wouldn't be very happy here!

Yes I have always told Jim if your parents need to live with us that is fine because they opened up their house to me and to us(Jimmy and I) a couple of times. Now my parents No way. I can get into fights with my MIL but it is different then my parents. Just say they would drive me crazy, telling me I am not doing this right or wrong. No I would really have to think about it if it was my parents.

My MIL is always welcome here... Might drive me but I am a bit already.

I wouldn't invite any of the other to stay here. NOT HAPPENING!

If it was something VERY temporary, like less than a week, until they could do something different, fine. But there's no way in haydes they would live with us indefinitely.

Kev has already told them they could if they ever needed too. I wouldn't have a huge problem with it - but I definitly wouldn't want it to be permanent.

It would be a tight fit, but I really wouldn't mind. I am surprised with how well we get along.

It would depend on which inlaw it was. As much as I love the nudie and the nuttie, I don't want them living in my house. I could maybe put up with my MIL for a little while.

Well, considering she's here all summer and now knows what hurricane weather's like, she'll be here from May to October and since it is still her house, I don't have a choice.

My parents? Ain't happenin'. Neither of us (Brian and me) could handle them for more than a day or so.

We may just end up having my MIL here. But that's okay; she's the mom I never had.

No way. No how. Never ever in a million years. When hell freezes over. When pigs fly. Ain't gonna happen.

Does that answer the question???

My Dh would never do it without asking for fear of his life
My MIL and FIL are more than welcome to stay with us she is a neat freak and would clean my house spotless ANYONE else in his or my family NOT A CHANCE unless it was his Aunt A. She is a sweetheart!

Ewww....

Well, I guess I would learn to deal with it. But it would be very difficult. I think I would end up spending a LOT of time in my bedroom.

I lived with them for a month before DH and I got married. And we have stayed with them when they were sick and they have stayed with us, as well (but only for maybe a week at a time). They offered to let us move in with them when we were having financial problems before Jonathan was born. But DH's grandma was still living (although she was VERY sick) and was living with my inlaws. It would not have worked with five people--one being terminally ill and one being pregnant.

I am sure that he would not let anyone move in without talking to me first. But we would deal with it somehow. I know that we could not live with my parents, though.

Nope! We have already had this discussion. I would not let any of his family (except for his Step dad and bro) more into our house. And I told him if he let his mom or sister move in against my wishes, he would be sleeping outside right along with them, cause I would change the locks!

I joke with my MIL and my mom that when they get old, we have a basement they can stay in. And then I tell them I am accidently going to let go of the wheelchair on a tall hill....

Of course I would let them, how could I not? But DH would never move them in without telling me.
