I am going into this with both eyes wide open. Financially this will put my family in a very good place as we are getting a good "family deal" on it. However, if after a set period of time it is clear that our M and family is suffering unduly because of the IL proximity, I will sell the house and move my family, and we will still have benefitted financially from the time we were there. I have made my intentions perfectly clear to my W.

well, I hope it works out...could be a "good deal"...could be not so good, if it breaks up your family and you wind up paying for 2 houses. you know, they make sit-coms about this kind of "whacky" situation.
and actually, my MIL had to live like this irt HER MIL. (across the street). How they survived like that for so many years, I just don't know.
