So I posted this on 2010 already and got some good responses. Just curious about people who have lived with parents there first year of marriage or plan to.
FH and I live together now in our own apt. We were talking about ways to save and we think the bets option is to move back home with my parents (upstairs apt) for no rent/or very cheap. We will save AT LEAST 2000 a month this way. We are good with money and will actually save it. We get along with my family.
Anyone plan to do this, or have done this? How did it work out?

You should also ask your FH what his concerns are so that they can be addressed. They might be things you don't think of. Also, think of things if the situation was reverse. If you were moving into your future ILs house, what would you want to be addressed ahead of time?
I love his mom and would have no problem living with her. We have talked about when we buy a house having her live upstairs eventually.
I asked him and he said he has no worries/concerns. He likes my family, and he said he doesnt see a problem.
I talked to my mom today about boundaries/space/privacy, and she said she would never just come up there without calling first and she said that we should give her privacy too. lol they are used to my sister and I am not living at home anymore.

Well currently we are living in my parents house in our own seperate apt. It works for us until we have enough money for a house. You just need to set boundaries with them - and it will work out. If you do not have a seperate apt i don't think it will work!! Just my opinion!! Hope that helps!
