My Wife’s Mom & Boyfriend Didn’t Prepare Financially & Now They Want To Move In With Us

We’ve always been raised to respect our elders and appreciate all they have done for us. There is likely nothing we could ever do to repay our parents for their sacrifices, but we’ll do our best to show them our love and gratitude. When it’s time for us to move out on our own, it’s just as much an accomplishment for them as it is for us.

Most of us don’t want to go back when we leave our parents’ home. The thought of living with your parents after years of freedom and independence doesn’t sound like much fun. But what if your parents suddenly found themselves in a tough spot and needed a place to stay? Would you let them move in? What about your in-laws? Are they welcome? Depending on the situation, it might be a tough call.
