living arrangements

Alas I live with my parent's in law as well. After they spend a few years convincing us, I fell for it. I think my experiences with my own family led me to accept their proposal of buying a house for all of us, but I didn't count with the fact that my husband's family is very different from mine, and things didn't work that well. We bough a 3 floor house with two different apartments and I thought that privacy would not be an issue, but it was. As well as many other things. Now we're kind of stuck here with them. Other options, like selling the house and divide the money won't really work for us, so until we find something else that will work. Meanwhile we try to be civil to each other and I don't mind helping them out when they need, but other than that we don't contact much.

My husband is the youngest of 11 children and his mother lives with us. She will remain here until she is no longer alive. That is my guess. We have a house and I knew up front that his mom was part of the deal. He has always been close to her and she is important to him. It works out for the most part. We all have our separate areas for when we need space. Great topic !

My husband and I live by ourselves cause we have no kids. We moved in together about 2 years after dating and now we are married 5 years later. We own a nice house in the city. Sometime soon I want to upgrade to a bigger one

Its just my son and I living in our house. Its a small house, but its nice having my own palce away from my mom, dad, brother, and sisters. I love them but sometimes they can be a handful, LOL.

thats great! living with an in laws is hard but at least you learned to adjust.and thus as well you going to save on rent and be able to buy house in the near future..

that is a wonderful idea. more than saving on rent, it will give her companions and also a solace of affection. we too did the same, lived with our parents for two years after marriage and then moved out once my brother got married, so that he could continue staying with them.

I live in a apartment facing the sea, on the eight floor, sometimes my mother comes to stay with us

We are currently living with my mother during the week as this is the most convenient arrangement right now. Our work is within a 15 minute radius from my mom's house, and we also get an instant babysitter in grandma. On the weekends, we then go to my mother-in-law's place. My husband and I would love to have a place of our own, but right now, the present situation works best for us. It's not perfect, but it's okay.

Im living alone at the moment, but dont think that will be for much longer as Graham and I are talking in the long term of getting married in the near future, so wont be alone for soo much longer thankfully! I love it when he is around Lynn-Marie

Depending on who you ask, my MIL lives with my hubby and I or we live with her. We had moved in with his parents when we got married as a way to save up for a house and they were going to help with some of the down payment. That never happened. A couple of years later, my FIL passed away and my MIL wasn't in financial shape to live on her own so she will be with us for good. We rent a house since there is no way on earth we can afford to buy anywhere near where we work!! Since my hubby is the oldest son and I am an only child of a single mother, we both knew this would happen someday. For the most part it is alright. It is annoying sometimes, but I just work my way thru and try not to think about it. A few years back my own mother was hospitalized for a serious illness, needed emergency surgery, the whole 9 yards. For 3 months I was giving myself nightmares wondering if my mother would be able to continue to live on her own. She recovered nicely and is fine, but I still worry about it. These 2 mothers living under the same roof would be a disaster of biblical, epic proportions!!! They are both too set in their ways to accept another alpha female in "their" house, and neither one would accept being anything but alpha female. I would run away from home if that happened!

I live with 2 roommates in a house that I secured a few years ago when I was with my ex. I'm happy I stuck around since rental prices have gone up substantially since then and it's cheaper to share a house now than it is to get an apartment.

i live with my parents. i have had to live with them most of my life. it is so exspensive to live on your own. for now we live in a house in a big city but this yr will be moving to a smaller town.

My husband and i are living in my in laws old house. My in laws are living in an apartment type house owned by them. we are just neighbors. its a good thing my in laws are very cool and very kind. we now have our house renovated. if my husband and i are too busy to prepare food we just go to my in laws place and eat there. I thanked God that He gave me kind and understanding in laws... unlike those i read or in drama movies.

I just got married and my husband and I just moved in to our own apartment. We both decided not to stay with in-laws so that we can have privacy and learn to stand on our own two feet.

I live with my husband and my 14 month old son. We live in a 4plex on a military base. This summer we will be moving. We don't know yet if we will be staying on this base, and just moving into a newer house, or if we will be going to another station. If we go to a new base, we are really hoping to go somewhere closer to home. If my husband ends up getting stationed somewhere that me and the baby can't go, we will probably move back in with my parents so we can save some money and get completely out of debt.

me and my husband with our two kids live with my parents. My Mom takes care of my children when I go to work. I have a lot of support from my parents. I am quite comfortable with the arrangement. My husband is like a son to my father that he never had.

I live with my boyfriend in a rented apartment in the center of the city. It's a bit too expensive and busy for us, so we're planning on finding something cheaper once our contract ends (October next year).

we are in the initial stage of a "family life-cyle", wherein we have one 5 yrs. old girl & 1 baby so security is the first thing that's in our mind. 3-4 years ago, we heard a lot of bad incidents living in villages, townhouses even if there was security guards plus we found a good community that was tightly secured so we opted for a condominium. Also, i've heard somewhere that a yaya have left the house, leaving a baby behind for 5 hours until the parents arrived. I just hope this wouldn't happen to us because the guard from our building & from the gate doesn't just let helpers get out without the knowledge of the unit owners specially when the owners aren't around.

my wife and i have our own house. my father and mother live with us. its our country's culture to take care of our old parents in their twilight years. I do this out of love and respect for them. And this is probably the way I want to be taken care of in my own old age one day. This is why i'm setting an example for my children to follow. But i won't impose myself on them. Its up to them if they want us in their own house when they grew up to be an adult.

I am currently buying my own home. My fiancee and three children live with me as well. My mom lives with me as well. She had a stroke a few years back. This has caused her many difficulties. SHe is no longer able to drive and has problems walking.
