We lived with our in-laws for a time when we returned
from the United States and until we bought our own
home. My father-in-law was a European patriarch and
saw himself as the head of the family. What he said
had to be obeyed.

This did create a bit of conflict at times.
I was happy when we moved into our own home. He was a
very lovely man - but it was much easier to get along
when we weren't under the same roof.

Here are some tips for living with your adult children
or aging parents and managing conflict when grown family
members cohabitate:
