I am the adult living at home with parents. It’s actually my husband and I living with his parents. Feel free to bitch away, it’s very hard. Hard not just for us, but I’m sure for them too.
Privacy is a big deal, I completely get that. If there was just a door on the hallway to the secondary bedrooms I would be so much happier. Going from the bathroom to my room is a pain in the neck. An extra door would solve the problem.
Also, my inlaws are angry with each other constantly, I’m sure they rather be angry without us around. My husband and I bicker a lot lately, I’m sure it makes my inlaws uncomfortable since they don’t bicker, especially my MIL.
Our room doesn’t have enough space for everything so we have spilled over into the other extra bedroom and still the place looks a little trashed. I would assume it drives my inlaws crazy. Not to mention we have some boxes in the garage.
We have been here about a month. My limit will be 3 months I think. I’m not sure what their limit is. Knowing them they would never ask us to leave, the would just do silent things that show more and more their frustration. We are giving them money to help out, which they take under verbal protest.
We had been thinking we would have them live with use one day, but this was great practice, we know that would be extremely difficult. If we take care of them we now know we need to buy a smaller home so we can buy them something separate, or a house with some sort of guest house.
