Wondering...

So The Banker has fallen in love with an in-between house (since our dream of a home with land is at this point too expensive), and by all accounts it's move-in ready. The yard is non-existent, so this would be a house we settle for until we can afford more. Oh, and there's one more problem: It's catty-corner to my parents' house. Anyone want to weigh in on the insanity of this idea?

I grew up next to my grandparents. I actually liked having them very close to us. It was my father's parents and my mother made the house rule that he needed to come home first - always. I do not remember my grandparents ever overstepping the bounds, but then again I was a child.

I am sure that you do not want to be that close in proximity to them, but it could be a great place for Becca to grow up. If it is a place that you love, I say it is worth it!

i think it depends on your relationship with your parents. if they understand boundries, then it should be okay. if they don't, it could be a very scary situation....

it might be a good idea to sit down with them and talk through what living that close to them would look like.
