Why should anyone be asked or have to live with inlaws... we didnt marry them.. or commit to them.. and they interfere no matter how well we all get on...
My cousin and her husband moved in with her parents, lived on second floor that was completely independent and even had separate entrance. They thought she is living here with us so instead of dividing it between all their kids, they put her name on the deed.
Within six months of getting papers, she rented out top floor and got transferred to another city. Now, she has an income and a property that she would get once they die and all she had to do was live there rent free for three years. Her siblings are furious, specially older brother who has been financially supporting their parents for two decades after their retirement. Some people are incredibly mean.
I would only live with my in laws or my parents if neither of us are left with any other choice. I can help them in every way possible but can't live in a joint family.
Absolutely NO WAY. My father in law is now deceased, but my in-laws had always been extremely strict Seventh Day Adventists. No secular activities on the Sabbath (Saturday), sundown Friday night to Sundown Saturday. Vegetarian diet. No alcohol, coffee, soda. Daily worship, prayer, and Bible study....and church every Saturday morning with a lot of very judgmental people. The rigid meal schedules, no showers after sundown on Sabbath...no cooking on sabbath...My mother in law never allowed any eating between meals (they only ate two meals a day, and no dinner in the evening because eating late is "unhealthy").
We used to avoid visiting them over Saturdays if possible for this reason. You could never have any kind of conversation about any topic with my father-in-law without him bringing up something religious about it, getting out the Bible, giving me Ellen White tracts to read...etc. etc.
Wouldn't work. At all.

Eek no way! Inlaws are both deceased but our visits were quite strained. My FIL was quite verbally abusive towards family members and hubby's relationship wasn't the best.

Just asked DH about living with MY mother, and he also said NO (my father is now deceased, but DH did have a very close relationship with him...they went to girly clubs and rented dirty movies together on occasion). He's always enjoyed visiting a few times a year, though...he can sack out on the sofa and watch tv as much as he wants, and there is unlimited food that he can stuff himself with as much as he wants, wheneve he wants. Unlike the rigid vegan food options and meal schedules at his parents, eating is encouraged at my mom's house...you're offered something to eat the minute you arrive and the kitchen is always open. The freezer is stocked with microwave pancakes, waffles, sausage, Kliondikes, and there is always a vast assortment of chips, pretzels, coldcuts, cheese, bacon, TastyKakes, beer, etc. On visits, it's typical for DH to eat half a pie and a quart of ice cream at one sitting (or rather, one lounging) in front of the tv.
He probably doesn't want to live there because he knows he'd weigh 300 pounds.
