starbuck I assume when the ILs leave you'll be changing the locks and doing whatever the fuck you want with YOUR house, yes?

hangry I hope he enjoys it! He's not good with circle time at the library but he loves running all over the place and playing with balls so hopefully that's a start. starbuck No, just no to everything. What did YH say? kleigh I'm cracking up at the crackers! I am not looking forward to the day C asks me to tell him a story. I will probably just do a disney movie or something. vino that sounds like an awesome day! tjanca22 I've never played real Bingo but I actually want to go sometime. I loved it as a kid.

Are we sending our elfster gifts whenever or waiting for a specific date? There's not a set date so I'd say whenever you're ready but try not to send it too early. I put the 14th on the event kind of as a goal/end date. The reveal thread tends to get lost if it's all too spread out.

goldenlove, he pushed back a little. Like told them we don't mind being their in-town place but that it can't be all the time, needs to be planned in advance, etc. And in terms of storing shit, he made it clear that we have plans for the basement rooms so we are willing to help out within reason, but we're not just going to be the family dump and keep all of those spaces literally full of crap like they are now. Then he and I spoke privately about what our lines are. Like, we don't want to be assholes, but we need it to be our home. My SIL lives in a 1-bed studio, so we know that not all of her stuff can fit in her space currently - eventually she'll get a bigger place and take her shit - for the time being, we can help her within reason...but we also know that she has a 10-year old printer in the basement right now and we're not hanging on to that. And we aren't going to make our ILs stay in a hotel or crash on her couch when they're in ATL, but we don't want them treating it like their second home, doing what they want, coming over whenever, expecting us to keep things a certain way for them, etc. This is the best thing for us long term financially, but my God the catch-22's add up quick.
