I swore I would let no one live in our home.

When my wife and I got married, we promised that no one would ever live with us.

We were going to keep our home free of relatives and friends who wanted a cheap place to live.

It didn’t take long before these ideas changed. Her mother got sick and she couldn’t live alone for a month. She moved in with us. I wasn’t upset about it being she, but I hated giving up our privacy. When we realized it was going to be longer than a month before she could leave, I confronted my wife. I wanted to know if she thought it would be a good idea if we built a mother-in-law suite for her. I loved my mother-in-law and I couldn’t see her going back home to an empty home. She put her house up for sale and we began building a mother-in-law suite. We had to make sure we had good heating and air conditioning. The HVAC tech told us it would be difficult to get the right amount of heat and AC into the new area. We opted for a ductless HVAC system for the rooms. Before too long, a year had passed, and we were all getting along well. My wife asked me if we had enough money in the budget to add another bedroom and bath to our home. I reminded her that her mom was an exception, but that was it. She patted her belly and told me that we had seven months to build the room. Here comes another ductless HVAC system for the new bedroom.
