    It’s been crazy over here, and now that I’m back to work (in my home office) I’m isolated from the drama LOL

    The garage conversion is nearly complete.
    Flooring and cabinets, cutout for an exterior door, then just a punch list. This will get the in-laws out of our hair.

    Au Pair is here, she’s great and we can really see use the help. She has a degree in child psychology, has an autistic brother, and Stetson has really warmed up to her already. Huge win for Team Pronstar!

    Oh I’m sure this is gonna be an ongoing saga
    Somehow I’m now living with 3 latinas and two are related, so how can it not be LOL
    The au pair seems sane…but I’ve been tricked before LOL

    In-laws will still basically live with us.
    I’m sure we will see them the same amount of time each day.
    But instead of hiding out in a bedroom, they can hide out in their apartment.
    It would suck being couped-up in a bedroom for a year, so that tension surely plays a big role.

    My step-daughter and her husband have several times suggested that my wife and I could live on the second floor of their home on Plano. After my wife retires this summer we will move to the Allen, Plano area but it will not be in the same house. While it would be financially attractive, I can't see it being good long term for them or us. I've already been given suggestions that I should be selling scuba gear, tools, reloading equipment, reducing gun inventory, etc.

    Following your "adventures" confirms the desire to be near, but not too close to relatives.
    Your in-laws are extremely fortunate.

    It's very, very difficult to live with parents or in-laws. After experiencing it myself, I have newfound respect for all the parents of my Mexican friends from junior high and high school who all had Abuela and Abuelo living with them. I don't know how they did it.
