My wife and I are having a baby
We recently bought a house this past summer with the help of her generous parents
Now, she's been telling me that her parents are going to retire and move in with us to help take care of the baby so we don't have to worry about any day care until the child is around 5 and enters school full time
I get along with her parents just fine, but I feel that eventually this may be too overwhelming for not just me but for her also, we have a decent sized house but a mansion it is not
She kind of brings it to me that her parents basically paid for "rent" in advance for when they stay with us
I understand that they did a great thing by helping us out and giving us the money for the house and all but at the same time it kind of makes me feel that we won't have any time as a "family" with her parents always being there
I have spoken to her about this and she has said it won't affect us as a family and we will have our time to grow together but I just don't see it that way, anyone else have in laws living with them from when children were 1st born?
