My Mother-in-Law moved in with us two years ago.

For the most part things are fine, but it's been hard on both my wife and Mother-in-Law. Wife doesn't want mom to run the house, mom is used to running things, and really just wants to help.

Fortunately, mom is in good health, so we haven't had to deal with those issues - yet, not something I look forward to (she's 80).

Biggest thing I miss is the loss of privacy. Kids are in college, but don't have the house to ourselves, oh well - it's better than mom living by herself. My wife would be a wreck worrying about her, and I'd probably spend most my time at my mom's place fixing things.

Biggest joke around the house, is "I'm up". When the boys are home, or if it's just the three of us - if there is anything to do in the kitchen - the first thing out of mom's mouth is "I'm up" - doesn't matter if me or my wife are standing in the kitchen and mom is in the family room - she's up - just trying to help....
