My advice is to not have her move in with you. That would be a lot of stress you don’t need.
20 or so years ago my parents moved out to our town. They lived with us (me, W, and 1 or 2 kids can’t remember right now) for four months, while I renovated their home to make it wheelchair accessible.
* This written from the 20 years ago pre-MLC perspective.
We love my parents and have a large 3 story home (include the basement and it’s around 5000 sqft). This still wasn’t enough room. It is very stressful living with others, even loved and loving parents. If it was just me and my MIL I can’t imagine the stress. Guests and fresh fish - after a while they start to smell and you want them out of the house. (Something like that)
btw since W’s parents never spoke to W or I for the last 26 years I don’t think this is a situation I’ll have to deal with.
Hope one of the three steps up.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
