Thank you, Cindi! It's mostly that she resents that at 71 she needs help. Hopefully she'll calm once we're settled.

A friend of mine from high school had her grandmother live with their family for years, and they were so close.

Haha! You're that messy, huh?

We lived with my inlaws while we were building our home & I agree with Wendy that clear boundaries & separate living spaces is very helpful. The kids were super little, so it was SO helpful to have those extra adults around during that time... |
Wouldn't that be amazing, Amie??!! It's a gorgeous house. I love the view. But, we love Idaho and I doubt I could get my hubby to move out of Idaho
