What would you do if your two adult children, still living at home, brought their partners in to live there too?

If they have brought their partners to your home to live, it is likely that there isn't too much you can do now other than allow it. I assume that they live with you for a plethora of reasons. Maybe it is your need to avoid being lonely? Maybe it is their need to have an ability to save money?

What you need to figure out is are you going to be comfortable while they have less of a need to include you in their lives for having their own primary interest living with you.

The first thing that needs to be discussed is a rental type of arrangement, food costs and utilities. If you don't deal with those practical discussions, you may be the one inside your home feeling like you are the one looking in at what you used to have.

It depends upon your personal situation, so the answer may differ in each case. Firstly, if you are uncomfortable with the idea of allowing your adult children to live in your home with their partners, you should not let it happen. Otherwise it is only going to create more complications, and spoil your relationship with your children sooner than later. Secondly, if your home does not have enough space to accomodate more adults, you have to put your foot down firmly against the idea of allowing your adult children's partners to live in your home.

You ought to be very frank with your adult children in this matter. It may cause temporary bitterness if your answer is a firm "No," but in the long run it will prove to be a wise decision. But if you end up saying "Yes" when you actually wanted to say "No," you are bound to be frustrated very soon, and then it will be much more difficult to turn the clock back.
